The "Something Special" for the next Omega Raid Tier, What if...

[LeoLupinos]

I'm pretty sure it will be FF7.
Omega searches for the mightiest one, meaning that if they don't choose FF7, then it means that Super Nova, Safer Sephiroth, Jenova, the Weapons and everything from FF7 is weaker than FF5, FF6 and the final choice.
I think that the "hint" with the savage transformation is for Sephiroth (Normal) and Safer Sephiroth (Savage). The hint of FF5 > FF6 > FF7.
FF7 is always the top selling point, it was for Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, and a lot of other games. And it needs to be, they are making a Remake after all.
I mean, why wouldn't they choose it?

For me It's just too grown up in the hints at this point to consider not having it.

But Septhiroth is far from the strongest villain in franchise, he works well in the game he's in but he's not the strongest villain.

I'm saying that Square Enix Sells that Sephiroth it the strongest one. Why would they chose to not do it now?
Did you saw Super Nova? I don't think anything is stronger than that, lorewise.
It's hard for me to think that they will waste this oportunity.

Well I doubt we would see super nova in game as cool as it would look I doubt they can have a infight effect last that long. Also the story Septhiroth most people will actually see is likely be a really dull fight.

You already fought the strongest one.

"The Villian that won"

At his apex, he fires off continent separating lasers from his pinky just for the lulz, and I mean it, he really does do it, just for the lulz.

Just sad his whole reason for being how he is, was because of Daddy Issues. Negative points for that. Not many people know about that truth on him. Lol.

Now if you want a true anti-hero/villian to really fight that can be considered the "Strongest One". Ill give ya a hint.

They put her in as a vastly underpowered fate boss.

When angry she can blow up entire cities with just a blink.

She speaks in rhyme :P

She is a lv 99 BLM Subjob 99 RDM. She can Manafont *Infinite MP* then Chainspell *Back to Back Instant Cast for up to 30 seconds* Ancient magics *Ultima, Flare, Quake, Freeze, etc* when shes angry to obliterate everything.

They put her true form in, she may as well be a bonus Ultimate fight. You should see her in true form, scary, scary scary. lol

Because VII has been done to death. I honestly don't know what the plan is. The speculation is heavy on VII because of things like this, but I just don't know. I feel like Omega needs to be defeated in this next tier, and doing a VII themed raid detracts from it a lot. Just look at how many people are "Sephiroth this, Sephiroth that" in this thread. Omega needs to be the focus, and it simply won't be since everyone will be gushing over Sephy. That's not to say they won't still do it, due to the obvious demand for it, but I'd be happy with the focus being on Omega with random foes filling up the other slots.

Maybe we will not fight Omega in this expansion, and this system of Raids will continue for another expansion. I mean, Omega is so Omnipotent, if we manage to kill it, what else would be a threat to us? What else for the other expansions?
I think It will be FF7, then will happen something enabling us to destroy Omega's basement, and he will flee to Garlemald, the next expansion map area. Maybe that it's the meaning of the "Alpha", a new beginning.

This scenario of Omega cappable to bring other FF threats is too precious for SE just to be usable once in a expansion.

I completely agree with this. And this is the reason why I think they won't do a Sephiroth fight. As much as I would like an FFVII crossover/battle scenario, the Omega raid just isn't the place for it.

This is the gripe I have with this tier. SE focused too much on fan-service and trying to keep people subscribed but delivered a lack-luster raid. If they really wanted to pander to nostalgia, they should have just kept game specific characters out of this and stuck with entities that could exist in multiple worlds like Exdeath, Zeromus, Chaos or Necron as raid bosses. I feel like Kefka shouldn't have even been a fight in FFXIV as his character is exclusive to FFVI...he's never been said to exist outside of that game and SE just transferring his story to FFXIV just feels odd. They didn't even attempt to fit him into the world of Eorzea. Instead they made it seem like all of the FF games are connected through history of some sort. Them just throwing Sephiroth in there would just as lazy.

Omega should be the final fight...especially after someone who literally destroyed the world and became an actual god.
