Bastok got shafted.

I love the FFXI Alliance Raids, and the final reward of a plethora of things to don on my Adventurer Plate and Portrait with is great, but it's super disheartening to not be able to represent my starting city of Bastok just because Yoshi-P wanted to subvert expectations and start with Jeuno, only to end up doing 2/3 starting cities of San d'Oria and Windurst anyways.

Obviously, they can't do anything for the elements that involve bosses, but it would be nice to have what the other cities have and not just the single orchestrion roll (and I guess the one for Gustaberg).
I don't care if the city is ugly, it's my city.

Yes, it's super disappointing... Guess they finally hit Electrope's limit attempting to render Cid's Teeth. u_u

If they ever were so kind as to go back and fill in some missing Bastok goodies... mayyybe we can finally get that missing Galka Minion too? 8'DDD

Meh, every Bastok player I met in FFXI was ultra zealous in their devotion to their starting city (at least one guy I met took it so far, he outright hassled any San d'Orian player simply due to the rivalry between the two cities, and Altana help you if you were both a San d'Orian player and an elvaan), so you have to forgive me if I do not shed a tear over Bastok's ommision from this raid (for the record, I was a Windurstian player, but I did like Bastok despite the Republic zealots - Metalworks was one of my favourite music tracks in the game especially, and I wonder what the city would have been like if the planned but never implemented monorail system had been added).

And, considering what Bastok's president was like (seriously, if you were president, would you wear that outfit???), yeah... it should have been expected all along 'Lastok' would be forgotten about in this raid.

I would have liked to have seen Bastok I always enjoyed visiting and loved the area outside. I loved the music.

Even though Bastok was my least favorite of the 3 starting cities, it should've still been represented. It's odd that they just chose 2 lol.

Heck Valkrum is also missing and is more important to players than stellar fulcrum. Or simply- lots of weird decisions on what got in. But the annoyance for me is a no Bastok framer kit stuff that exists for Windy/Sandy. Like killed off in a line of text and not given an option just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Justice For Bastok!

except when you leave the moghouse in the port to go catch the airship only to get stuck at the drawbridge

Bastok is for peasants.

I can't wait for the next final fantasy MMORPG with everyones favorite FFXIV starting cities like Ul'dah, Limsa, and Ishgard.
