I can't connect with the Memories of Vanadiel

Yeah, the ivalice raids were woven into ffxiv. With both the presence of Garlemald's 4th legion creeping around in the areas, to Ultima the high seraph who we now know is connected to something even bigger embedded somewhere on the planet.
While also populating south western Othard on the map.

These Alliance raids, that may or may not be the re-imagining of another shard?

And while the music isn't bad, it's tone doesn't match the pacing of FFXIV unfortunately.

Its impressions of a different shard with Sareel Ja's fanciful exaggerations as the electrope amplifies his magic. Like the Gulool Ja Ja they have is exaggerated to look like the source version, but its not the Gulool Ja Ja we know. As the beastmen of Vana'diel are warlike and only really seek one thing, to crush the civilizations of the five races. The five races are basically the same as what we had in ARR with some minor differences, that of their own equivalents to Lalafell, Elezen, Roegydan, Miqote, and Hyurs.

It's somewhat linked in with the story as I remember Sareel saying that after he got backstabbed by Zoraal and thrown off the bridge near the gate to Living Memory he ended up in the actual Vana'Diel. And after he somehow got out of there and he's been recreating it with a combination of his magic and electrope for reasons not fully yet explained... But that Gulool Ja Ja he has with him is part of it.

That's not unfair, i actually really like how the fft and ffxii stuff was woven in. Kinda wish we could get back to that but a lot of people didn't like bozja so i dunno if that's happpening
