    New raid idea

    A second raid to go along with Coil would be a great Idea, and I can think of a setting that would be perfect without having to introduce new lore last minute.

    Praetoreum Ruins.

    The unleashing of energy caused by the Ultima Weapon being destroyed has imbued Garlean creations with even greater power than their former master had ever hoped, and they are breaking out of thier bonds deep in the Ruins of the Garlean Stronghold.

    No, this wouldnt be a "destroyed" version of the current Prae, but an entirely new area we have yet to explore.

    This could also be a great place to Bring in some old but good mechanical bosses.

    Ultima is made of technology, not energy - he absorbed the Primal's Aether and gained their powers. When fighting Ultima, each Primal slowly leaves Ultima and returns back to the Aether like killing any Primal did before him. So Ultima really couldn't do that kind of thing, especially since Ultima is a product of Allagan technology which has shown to be vastly superior to Garlean's.

    Also, all the monsters in Coil (excluding Twintania) are machines themselves, so we'll likely see Ruby Weapon and the like in there.

    Ok, better idea then. Cid finds the site where the garleans dug up Ultima, and we stumble across Diamond, Emerald, Ruby and Omega weapons. Each fight being it's own of course and then having Omega akin to Ultima, but instead of primal abilities it has Weapon abilities.

    We may get something in relation to the Amdapoor at some point. They seem to be building off of their mythos little by little.

    Other than that, Coil is great, CT is great (save for the face palming, rage inducing trolls that show up).

    They should really consider adding a raid that can be done in varying difficulties (something that I think WoW did well) so that you can do it 8 man, 16man, and 24man (or at least 8 and 24) with unique rewards to each.

    Something like "The Cave of Trials" or "Omega Ruins" where we can fight some more iconic enemies from the series!

    Oh I agree both are good, it's just clear we need more raids that drop endgame loot, one raid isn't cutting it at the moment.

    Or how about the Magitek Factory! That would be awesome.

    Never gonna happen. Kefka is a character from FF6 exclusively - CT being entirely different as it contains entities entirely separate from the original in FF3. If we got Kefka's tower it wouldn't have Kefka in it and that is basically all people want that place for - Visage, Machine, and Lady/Rest were all cool and fun but it's not like they were anything special compared to CT bosses of FF3. I'd much rather we had an entirely new place like Coil than another version of CT.

    I doubt we will see any new raid zones until the first expansion, they seem quite happy with their little coil one patch, crystal tower the next, with a new dungeon then adding in some primal/hard mode dungeons. Their team is stretched thin, because they are still trying to catch up to what should have been out at release. Already stuff is coming later and later then "anticipated," 2.1 was over a month late, 2.2 we were told would hit in March, but the first half of the live letter is March 22nd, so I doubt the patch will land before April, and with the PS4 launch April 14th, I'm guessing they will either line the patch up with it, or put it after, but I think we can all anticipate plenty of emergency maintenance, and enough hotfix patches to make April feel like we are getting ripped off for those that go ahead and reup subs for that month.

    Wut. They did a LIVE letter in January highlighting 2.2, I'd imagine that makes the one in March the second LIVE letter.
