Safer Sephiroth Ultimate Raid

We need a Safer Sephiroth Ultimate Raid battle. Yoshi-P has clearly stated that FF14 is a theme park of the Final Fantasy franchise, and therefore would not be fully complete without some reference to Safer Sephiroth.

This battle should be epic and when Sephiroth is in his ultimate form, the battle should be far more difficult than any previous raid battles, including Omega...

Your thoughts?

Frankly I'm tired of Sephiroth.

Every Ultimate are related to older raids and Trial fights

UCOB = Coils of Bahamut raid
UWU = The 3 Primals and Ultima Weapon
TEA = Alexander raid
DSR = Knights of the Round and Nidhogg
TOP = Omega raid

The next Ultimate will most probably be the Four Lords and hopefully we get to fight Kiryu
I doubt they would just make an Ultimate for Sephiroth out of nowhere, not unless they make another fan love letter raid like Omega.

EDIT: Besides they ruined Sephiroth in the remake and he is currently really close to Zenos just... worse.
RE-EDIT: I bet they would prefer to make a raid related to their new baby XVI and then make an Ultimate from that before they do other Fan Love Letter raids.

We have Sephiroth at home.

No, we have Sephiroth at home. (Zenos. It's Zenos.)

Edit: Come on, Iyami. Stealing jokes via edit?

Im happy you're going with the original mistranslated name "Safer Sephiroth" instead of "Seraph Sephiroth" like how it was supposed to be.

Its like the Aeris, Aerith situation.

Honestly, I was editing before I saw your post. Chalk it up to just being the obvious joke.

The main reason I would want this is to hear Soken's take on One Wing Angel...

Can we just kill it with fire before it comes back?

I mean it's pretty clear they are holding Sephiroth back atm. I don't think it's a matter of if, but rather when. Sephiroth is probably their trump card if they deem the game needs a pick-me-up. Or they don't want to undermine the fight with Sephiroth by using him to early in the game's lifespan. Love or hate him, you have to admit that he serves as a valuable asset for the game. Once Sephiroth is used, a lot of the people that waited for him will probably move on thinking there isn't anything cooler left to fan service into the game besides him.

It's exactly the reason why if I see him as a Trump card is when I'll start thinking "Oh no...they really are out of ideas."

Meh Sephiroth is way overrated. He was like a huge step backwards from Kefka who actually succeeded in doing what he wanted forcing you to spend the latter half of FF6 picking up the pieces of your failure. If you want a good ultimate battle with a superior swordsman they should do a Dragon Quest collab where you fight Psaro instead. Would tie in nicely timewise if they did it now to build some extra hype for the upcoming DQ Monsters game on the switch where you basically play as Psaro as a kid before he became the master of monsterkind.

More likely to be Shinryu tbh since they've put in every expansion's main MSQ boss as ult so far.
You know, Ultima and Thordan...

No more Zenos... all the thing about coming for the final battle in EW... and whatever was entirely pointless..

We don't want anymore Seymors... that just keeps turning up in a new form all the time.

Ah right... shit, we never going to have a proper fight against Kiryu.

Wouldn't there be confusion with Sephirot from the Warring Triad, which already exists in this game?

A few think Shinryu Ult might have been the Ult they mentioned having to push to side after having issues putting it together. So dunno if its totally scrapped or on a "well try again later" deal.

There’s already two bosses named Halicarnassus that are completely unrelated, so I’m not sure that’s something they’d worry about

Hmm Shinryu Ultimate... Dodge every mechanic released before Stormblood as they're stacked 4-5 at a time?

Give us jecht from ff10 as a raid boss.

I can't see them doing anything with Sephiroth who isn't even in this game before others that are like Shinryu or the Four Lords.

I may be misremembering, but wasn't it stated at some point that the next Ultimate was planned to be the Warring Triad?

I'd be totally fine with that too so long as they allow me to push the statues out of alignment while dressed as a clown.

they're not going to add an ultimate raid for an enemy that isn't already in the game, sephiroth has not been in this game yet, it'll only be an ultimate raid once something similar has been in the game already.

I'd love to see an Ultimate raid about Final Fantasy VII

Safer Sephiroth

I would be so damn happy if devs make it

I hope they will talk about him in Final Fantasy Fan Festival 2023

Regular Sephiroth would be too dangerous to put inside the FFXIV universe. No... we need the SAFER version instead, so that we'll at least stand a chance.

Sephiroth is the 'in case of emergency, break glass' of Final Fantasy, our version of Illidan for WOW. Subs dropped in WOD, they break out Illidan memberberries for Legion, playerbase happier again. Same here, if the subs ever start getting too low, they'll break out Seph. But if they ever do have to do that, it'd be the proof that the game's on it's deathbed

also why on earth would we want 'scuffed Kefka who couldn't even do what Kefka did' when we have Kefka in the game already? Like I could say 'I liked the last fight set in FF10' but that doesn't mean I want Sin as a fight here. It's like when the 'noise from below' was first mentioned and people went wild about how it's either Lavos, or Jenova. Can't be a FF14 unique threat, must be a reference to an older game! What is it about Sephiroth/Jenova that people find so fascinating I will never know

If they really wanted an FF7-ish Ultimate, we already have the Weapons.

Nah. If Kefka who is a far superior main antagonist only rated being the final boss of a raid tier then Sephiroth is just a MSQ duty boss :P
