The Next Extreme Trail Should be Sephiroth

[Arcturius]

It should be GILGAMESH.

Long he sought the blade of legend, scoured the furthest marches, east and west. And now, his search brings him here, to you!
Your weapons are forfeit to him!

Just give him the Excalipoor and he will be on his way.

I WANT Sephiroth! nowz!

Never gonna happen, Yoshi made it clear villians like Kefka, Serphiroth and such would never come into the game. Lighting coming into the game was pushing it as is. Plus it sounds like a horrible idea to begin with.

It wasn't pushing it - XIV was started along with the FNC project (XIII) so it actually makes perfect sense that she'd be in here, much like Shantotto coming in makes absolutely perfect sense as well, considering Atomos exists in this game, anything interdimension makes perfect sense.

In FFXI, Atomos devoured time & space and certain realities - in FFXIV he over aspected the Aetherytes and brought in voidsent from another dimension so in all reality, any FF boss/character could come into Eorzea, especially when Yoshi himself said FFXIV Will be a Fanservice Title.

There's no way to incorporate most of the story/final bosses of any FF game into XIV. About the only ones you could event attempt are Chaos, the Emperor, Cloud of Darkness, Exdeath and Zeromus. Chaos, the emperor and exdeath all deal with some form of universe altering power/other world, cloud of darkness is evil incarnate and Zeromus still exists as Zeromus Malice on the fake moon drifting in space. Could even do a FuSoYa cameo with that one, and a 2.0 dalamud fall with the lunarian's moon descending.

Since when? Akihiko Yoshida being the art director for both games doesn't mean they are in the same universe.

into one of the quest, before Titan, the imperial soldier that heard voice. after the first quest when he talk of him past, he use the name of one of the country of FF12. it's greatly possible that ivalice have some link since this world have often seen time travel and dimensional travel happend.
still while talking of Ivalice, Cloud did appear in FFT, then.... who know.

Lahabrea have said after you beat him, that nothing is over and that the dimensional rift are open... means technically they can bring people from any dimension if the frontier have been open like he said.

no, no, no! Final Fantasy 14 have never been part of Fabula Nova Crystallis... the game part of it are:
- Final Fantasy 13, 13-2, 13-3
- Final Fantasy type 0
- Final Fantasy 15, called before Final Fantasy versus 13

At the start Final Fantasy 14 was make for be part of Vana'diel, but while the process that was abandonned for create a new world. it's why the race look soo much like the one of Final Fantasy 11.

Yoshi himself said FFXIV Will be a Fanservice Title.

Like to see the artificial on that. Cause I know he said cameo's would happen but not to the point of bringing any in without a lore driven reason. Like how he had to do with Lighting.

it's in the lvl 15 CS where a soldier says that he comes from Dalmasca, also the Crystal tower was in FFT, but mogs are different in Ivalice and Belias/Zordiark and the other summons are not primal. Unless FFXIV is several thousand years after/before FFXII and tactics so that these changes would be explainable.

^ Apparently you haven't been paying attention to ff13 lol

Because FF7 isn't guilty of having like 3 spinoffs, a full-length CG movie, a variety of novellae and two short animated movies. If anything is milked to death, FF7 is. Though I'll admit FF13 is getting overly much attention, it's not as horrible as people claim, in my opinion.

it can be a different time line too, we forget this too often...with all the time travel and dimensional one Ivalice time line is a mess hehe

but if i had to choice something from ivalice that i want to have is... LéaMundis!

How about the next random-esque trial be Nael van Darnus in the Minstrel's Ballad?
