Zeromus

Instead of cheesy fan service / recyclin old stuff, wish we had brand new foes. Would have been nice. Whole void arc after Barba got stale.

They probably didnt want to introduce anyone big in 6.X just so that theyre done within those patches, so they settled on making the 13th be a reflection of FFIV and its characters. Considering that FFXIV recycles almost everything from past FFs down right to their names and appearances, it seems very fitting.

Only people having an issue with the FFIV callbacks are those who have been somehow ignorant over the past 10 years of lore in this game only just now realizing that they have been doing this.

As a FFIV fan, Im totally fine with them doing it as theyve already done so before with numerous other FF callbacks in this games lore.

Its supposed to be a FF series themepark after all, even Hironoubu Sakaguchi praises it for being such and I think thats fine.

Also anyone who even remotely says FF4 handles the archfiends better is outright lying...they had barely any screen time and FF14 has done way more with them even with still limited screen time. Its too soon to even comment on what they do with Zeromus but as usual troll guy has to moan or bait something. So I will see whatever they do in 6.5 because even the Golbez change was a surprise with it not actually being him. Making use of the shadow dragon as a sort of sacrifice as well was a better touch because in FF4 Zeromus is far less conceived, just really appears 'Oh no the body of Zemus has died now his hatred just manifests as this more powerful form' So until then I can't make judgement on whats transpired, like his design so far though.
