Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

I personally wish they would tune down the FF 6 references. We already have a whole country that plays very important role in the story, 4 eidolons exclusive to FF 6 (Warring Triad + Lakshmi), a mount with FF 6's signature theme, FF 6's boss battle music, arguably every dungeons related to Garlemald, and now we're getting phantom train and Kefka.

It's not that I hate FF 6 or anything (it was before my time but my older brother said it was brilliant and I believe him), but when there are other FF games that barely have any references in the game such as 8 9 10 and 13, you would've thought they would focus on these instead.

To be fair, XIII had an event that occurred 2~3 times in the past. FFX was the “theme” for last year’s round of fan fest (but I would love to see more aspects of FFX in FFXIV because it’s my favorite Final Fantasy, probably because it was the first one I ever played—minus Blitzball because I abhorred Blitzball in FFX and I do not want to see it added to FFXIV lol).

I’m honestly surprised there hasn’t been any FFXV representation in FFXIV yet, to be frank. There was such a demand for a FFXV cross-over event, and I think the developers said something about maybe doing it “after everyone had had time to enjoy the game”, but I haven’t heard of anything about it since.


I’ve never played FFVIII or FFIX, but some representation outside of Veteran’s Reward outfits would be nice.

Speaking of other FF representations, I actually do NOT want to see FFVII in the third tier of Omega. :x I like FFVII and all, but too much of a good thing, is a thing. I just think it would fall flat, to be honest. Or be ridiculously cheesy, or have that “overrated” feel to it. I’d prefer to see FFX, honestly. But I’m biased. :3

Ah my apologies, I didn't know there were X and XIII events in the past. I joined the game 2 weeks before SB hit (I was newly lv 50 WHM excited to try that AoE stoneskin and then poof it was gone before I had the chance to use it, haha...) so the only X and XIII references that I know of are costumes and perhaps Yojimbo for X. Haha we're on the same boat; it'd be great if we could have more FF X references in this game. Unlike you though, I enjoyed blitzball in X but I have a feeling that it'd be a disaster if it were to be implemented here.

Not having XV reference is somewhat understandable given the fact that it's the only successor of this game as of now, though I don't see why not. May not be suitable for third tier of Omega though, cause I think nostalgia factor is very apparent in these raids. With how things as they are right now I wouldn't be surprised if Sephiroth/JENOVA is the last boss for Omega, but let's hope it'd be Sin/Yevon instead

Coil has many XIII enemies.
