Phantom train in Eorzea ?

[Seig345]

If they can send us back to old dungeons with 'hard modes' and write in a story explanation for it, surely there could be a story explanation for something possessing the Phantom Train, causing it to change shape to something closer to the one in VI and threatening some part of Eorzea if it isn't stopped.

Couldn't agree more. I think the Phantom Train described in lore right now is more of a reason to add a dungeon like this to the game, not less.

I really like this idea. When I saw the rail tracks, I thought to myself that something like Phantom Train could be a potential dungeon. Then I saw that Castrum Meridianum used it as a reference and felt shot down. Overall I do think they should look at previous dungeons of Final Fantasy and cleverly bring them into FFXIV. Similar to how FFIX brought Mt.Gulug back from FFI.

I vote yes, so make it so.

Phantom Train in the Phantom forest with that awesome soundtrack to accompany it, Would love to see a forest type dungeon in game with the ominous fog and a classic tune of phantom forest playing all with FF14 graphics, would make me have giddy dreams!

Looks like we'll be seeing the Phantom Train in 4.2 hehe

Hell Yes. i'd love this.

So yeah, a FFVI-style one probably won't be appearing in XIV I'm sorry to say, unless they use FFVIII's Doomtrain for a name instead.

I know it's 4 years later but I was also wondering what Phantom Train would be called due to its name being taken but iirc just before the raid fights in Deltascape they re-used enemy names and gave them to their FFV counterparts.

To those 4 years in the future, what's your reaction now that your dreams have come true?

Easy peasy. The current phantom train is just named after the mythological phantom train. Same with "this creature looks a whole lot like Halicarnassus" in Haukke Manor. I'm pretty sure our boy Nero will explain everything. If not we can always bother Koji for asnwers.
