Echoes of Vana'diel FFXI Alliance Raid

[Ephremjlm]

Honestly I hope we get all the city states, I feel like it would have been cool to get like a dynamis style run for one of the raids but considering "cost" is a factor even though they were supposed to spare no expense, I doubt they would put the time in to make all of those zones.

(Isn't this the tower where you first meet Zeid too?)

Depends, he does indeed show up for 5-1 in Fei'yin, but a lot of players may have met him in the Dark Knight questline before this, or theoretically to unlock Ground Strike.

Zeid would be a cool pick for a 'friendly' NPC though. He and Prishe... I don't think the two of them ever actually talk? I know they both show up for Apocalypse Nigh but I don't recall them ever actually speaking to each other. Could be fun.

So looks like the next raid has:

Kirin and the sky gods in Horlais Peak. Weird choice of location, but neat.
The Ultima and Omega airship fight, which is neat.
Eald'narche and Kam'lanaut fought in Stellar Fulcrum. Also odd choice but that's potentially cool.

Not sure what the fourth is, we see Gulool Ja Ja during the cutscene but not during any of the gameplay previews.

The armor set choices this time around are so, so much better than the first time too.
(I especially like the ribbon the the TM set. That's a hell of a detail to include.)

Hope they allow males to wear the dancer outfit.

Hope they allow males to wear the dancer outfit.

The male version was in the LL, but it was the Relic version with white and blue instead of red and black.

I just wish instead of giving us role gear, they would have added the relic/mythic/empy gear for each class instead.

DNC AF and Relic? Prishe's outfit? Robes that are too long again?

I wonder if Prishe's outfit will be role locked or from a coffer like 2B's or a cash shop thing.

My assumption is:

Shantotto = Casting/Healing
Lilisette = Aiming/Scouting
Prishe = Striking
??? = Fending/Maiming

Last one might be Zeid, maybe?

I hope for the last tier they go purely player armor sets. There are so many I'd love to see in HD, like the Igqira Weskit set with the arm tattoos, the San d'Oria guard armor, tons of things from Aht Urhgan, AF gear, etc.

Honestly I was hoping they'd make something like the orchestrion roll item but for glamours, and just put a ton of glamours you could exchange for. There's just too many that I want and I don't want most of them role locked.

I kinda expect the last tier will have Lion, Aphmau/Nashmeira, and Arciela sets now, and all the heroines will feature in the ending similar to the Ivalice raid.

My assumption is:

Shantotto = Casting/Healing
Lilisette = Aiming/Scouting
Prishe = Striking
??? = Fending/Maiming

That all seems reasonable given the color variations and the one not shown. Zeid's not a mission girl obviously, but then neither is Shantotto.

Kind of seems like a shame to have Lilisette and Shantotto when they mostly don't have unique outfits, while leaving out Lion and Aphmau who do though.
