Loved the FFXI references

Nobody else remembers the Pandaemonium Warden?

The entrance of the raid really looked like Castle Zvahl to me.
I think I might be a little bit upset if we don't have a Shadow Lord boss in this tier hahah.

Of course, but they haven't put Dvergrs in the game yet. Though they did put something using the frame of it in as a bishi voidsent. It's the second boss in Weeping City of Mhach, and they later used its model as, "King Goldemar." Which shares the same monster family as PW's default form.

anyone else get Sky feels with elpis? :3

Yeah, it took me back. Also the Moon heavy Promyvion Vibes and Garlemald gave me Xarcabrad flashbacks except instead of demons it's rogue magitek.

I'm really excited for when they do the "New World" expansion if they're going to go with the frontiersman motif like with Adoulin. Wood and stone structures, lush jungles and forests (east coast) to sprawling wastelands (west coast)

I liked Shantotto coming into the game in the Thaumaturge quest. Then she goes and styles the hair. lol

Needs more Yagudo.

The moon triggered nothing for me, but going to Garlemald did bring on some CoP memories.

Old Sharlayan Night music feels so familiar to FFXI, but I can't place it.

The closest place this theme reminds me of is Windurst Waters[S].

Mmm... No. A remix of Imperial Will does not sound like Faded Memories at all. Not an evolution from FFXI music.

I wasn't saying the music was a 'remix', but the tonal structure of the underlying melody is entirely derived from that of the Promy zones, for me the whole 'feel' of the XIV music was immediately reminiscent of the Prommies . .though thankfully the gameplay was less stressful.

Absolutely.

I hadn't been there when I made my first post but the moment I looked at the zone map and saw those two floating platforms in the NW were arc-shaped I made the connection.

If Tu'lia was made of red brick and concrete perhaps.... but definetely Elpis was loosely inspired by Tu'lia at least.
