Midgar in FF XIV, (Dawntrail spoilers)

[Anvaire]

I agree it's odd getting an FF8 cameo for the 8-man trial of an FF9 themed patch in the FF9 themed expansion.

i wouldnt say SHB was heavily ff8 referenced. I guess doomtrain was chosen because they already used 6's and a train boss fight is cool. They could have gone with Ark from ff9 though, but maybe they are holding that for later.

ff8 is my favourite so im definitely Nostalgia compromised.
