Ultima the High Seraph.

[Anonymoose]

Devil's Advocate - to me it feels equally awkward - big picture - that a thing worthy of the name ULTIMA, THE HIGH SERAPH was ever something we would beat in a sidequest chain 30 levels ago in the first place.

(Not insurmountably so, of course - game's gotta go on.)

But still, if we were told that the thing we faced in Ivalice, while powerful, was but a shade of the real thing... a primal-like manifestation of the fear inspired by a GLIMPSE of the genuine article ... I'd probably buy it.

Would be a lot of pressure on the art team to make it newer and cooler and bigger and badder, but they've lived up to the challenge before.

I admit that I felt like the end of Pandaemonium was explicitly threatening us with a lingering plot hook - attached to nothing for now - perhaps attached to nothing ever - that Ultima and Athena have touched more of history than we yet know.

That's why I keep making jokes about "Ultima Prime", lol.



...You know what, since this is FINAL FANTASY XIV, obviously the Greek version of the name is the genuine article. We should live in fear ... of Eschatos (...Eschate?)
