"Return to Ivalice" Stormblood's 24 Man Raid

[Rasler_Heios]

That's a good sign if it is in the 300-310 range. I'm currently at 316 and been trying to get more stuff, since I am not good at savage raids, i dont normally go to cap ilevels. lol.

Come to think of it I still have to do those other 24-man raids just for the sake of completion, hopefully before Ivalice kicks in. lol.

We are getting a 24 man raid roulette too

Why the Viera hate? Not a fan of Tactics or XII?

They're just not really very unique when put together with other races in FFXIV. Sure, their ears will make them stand out, but other than that... they'e mostly meh. Humans with rabbit ears and probably rabbit feet if SE figures out how to make that work.

I can say with confidence that this raid cannot make Viera a playable race. They can appear as NPC's, but you can't make a race that doesn't exist (until a certain point in time, being after the Ivalice Raid) playable... unless you don't care about your games own lore, or a XIV variation of the race already exists on a distant land (but then they won't be called Viera).

This armor set is soo close I can taste it.

Yes, the judge set.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

I won't get excited about the Judges armour but I will probably die if we get it. (As much as I want it I very much doubt it)

[Yudzster]

willing to suffer to queue the ivalice raid repeatedly for a Judge Armor

[Starkbeaumont]

I think they once mentioned it'll be more directed towards tactics Ivalice. Which has no judges at all. besides the political driven story the most unique thing were the lucavi. I wonder if we fight those. on the other hand we already fought cuchulainn, we have a belias incarnation during the smn job quest line and the ascians are kinda related to the lucavi as well.
that makes me wonder what were are gonna fight in this raid series. I personally hope it's not just oversized humanoid judges. would feel like syrcus tower again.
maybe we know more after the live letter

The Viera aren't in tactics, at least they aren't in the original which (based on comments by Yoshi P) is what this raid is most likely based on.

[TaleraRistain]

ah ok well in that case i don't know why ppl call it "raid"

Because raids in the old school games were multi-party affairs and featured the raid traversing an area with trash mobs and minibosses before finally beating all the other guilds (no instances) to the raid boss.

In EverQuest it was like herding 72 cats.

The problem with the judge's sets, is that they're very similar than the Garleans'. I really hope I could use Gabranth's armor, but Balthier's is quite alright.
