Soo.. next Part of Omega: FFVII?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

My prediction is we will see a 4.6 with a mini tier. And that's where we confront Omega. There is not a chance in hell Sephiroth is relegated to chump fight status over Omega. Square wouldn't even allow it considering how immensely popular he and FFVII.

As for what bosses we may see.

v9s: Dark Nation, Midgar Zolom, Lost Number, Bottomswell
v10s: Proud Cloud
v11s: Jenova
v12s: Sephiroth and Safer Sephiroth (Savage)

The weapons could be used, though I feel those will be held off. At least Ruby and Emerald. Granted, Ozma was a super boss and wound up in a 24-man. So mayhaps the weapons do make an appearance even if they wind up being easy.

i wish they did FF1 raid
but i guess they would save that for the very last raid tier in FF14 life cycle
Lich,cary,Kraken then Garland then Chaos as savage

Sephiroth would work as a final boss since has multiple stages (which by now is relevant as it needs a savage only mode) but i think its much more likely omega itself is the final fight perhaps it could have a ff7 moment to pay homage.

A lot of iconic ff7 bosses are already in the game ... not that it has a lot now that i think about it a lot of them are generic monsters. The weapon types are already in game, so is guard scorpion.

I feel the biggest issue with 7 is that if the normal mode Sephiroth doesn't have a second form it's going to be a pretty dull fight.

It won't. They have said going forward, Savage will have an exclusive second phase encounter. Therefore, it will be Exdeath and Kefka all over again. Admittedly, they should do a little more with the normal variation. Exdeath was good, albeit short while Kefka took forever and wasn't particularly interesting.

I still want my Dark Messenger remix.

They might be able to do a 3 phase fight for savage and 2 for normal. I'm not a fan of the way they've done the normal mode final fights of the raid they've been pretty boring fights. I found Exdeath really dull and Kefka is dull but at least he has nice music.

VII is practically inevitable as the third Omega. While other FFs would be cool (I'd love to see a raid based on Ultemicia's Castle), I just can't see them following up the wildly popular FFVI with a raid based on a less popular game. That leaves VII, as the only game on equal or greater footing, that could follow up the VI raid. They could make the third Omega be entirely original, but I can't imagine they'd want to waste the nostalgia opportunities Omega provides.

Now you obviously can't have a FFVII raid without Sephiroth, and they're not going to use Sephiroth without have Safer∙Sephiroth in the Savage mode. I think Omega 3 will just be FFVII bosses, with Omega itself being defeated (or simply leaving the planet) in a cutscene or possibly a post-raid solo instance.

FF7 is very limited...not counting Jenova which is a story character, we have: Airbuster, Schizo, Bottomswell, Aps, Rapps, Proud Clad, Hojo as potential bosses (not counting Red Dragon or Demonswall because they're generic).

VII has tons of bosses they could choose from. Personally, I think Lost Number could provide some really interesting raid mechanics.

If we get FFVII would Vincent Valentine show up as a boss? I'd love to fight him in his Chaos form. Ooh! Or even have him and Weiss from Dirge of Cerberus as a duo boss fight with both Omega and Chaos transforms respectively!

Do a dual-stage fight for both modes, with a different second stage between them.
Normal could be Sephiroth & Bizarro Sephiroth, Savage could be Sephiroth & Safer Sephiroth.
