JENOVA

[Vahlnir]

these are constants in ALL Final Fantasies... Jenova is only a thing in FFVII..and was the big bad to boot... Turning one games Big Bad into a coil boss, just for fan jollies, not only cheapens the lore of XIV, but the lore of the game you ripped them from.


also, FFVII is overrated. (couple this with all the whining that would follow of "Jenove doesn't look right, the musics not as good, Jenova's attacks are wrong, this fight was better in VII..."rather not want to hear it)

When you put it this way I suppose I'm inclined to agree that it might not be the best idea. Also, VII was a great game. Too many spin-offs though, but a couple were pretty decent.

I'm not sure what all the anger is about, it was simply an idea. If you don't like it, move along to the next thread

As for taking the "big bads" out of previous games, I heard that they are going to be adding the Cloud of Darkness as a boss in one of the upcoming CT expansions, so it's more than likely already a possibility.

There are pros and cons for every idea. You're more likely to anger people on the forums though lol Just another day on the forums is all...Can't wait for more CT though, especially if Cloud of Darkness is a boss.

look there is a difference between "good" fanservice and "bad" fanservice

"Good" Fanservice: Oblique references, side characters thrown in that give you a chuckle when you notice them, maybe even a few of the MID-bosses NAMES being used, one time events that come and go once maybe twice like the XI and XIII event...

"Bad" Fanservice: Direct shoehorning of characters from previous tittles into the Main Story just because they were popular... along time ago, adding The Big Bad from other games just to scream "HEY! REMEMBER THIS? WASN'T THIS COOL! LOVE MEEEE! LOOOOOVE MEEEE!"

Basically, it's kinda like repeating a joke, Clever people can take the joke tweak it a bit and make it their own, the other is just standing around repeating lines from Popular movies until everyone want's to punch you.

To be fair, Cloud of Darkness isn't really a big villain in FF3... First time I saw it I was like "lol wut ?". I think it's here only because FF3 needed a last boss.

Jenova (ジェノバ, Jenoba?) is an extraterrestrial life-form
Once Jenova lands upon a planet it will destroy every form of life it finds. Jenova can absorb its prey's memories and form, hiding as their loved ones to destroy them.
Once Jenova has destroyed a planet it uses it as a vessel to travel the cosmos to another planet.
Approximately two thousand years ago, an alien creature landed on Gaia, having traveled through space on a meteor.

Jenova can very well make it's way into the game, not hard, and won't conflict with Eorzea lore at all seeing as how it's an extraterrestrial being

Pretty much what he said, Jenova was not originally from Gaia, and as others have said, it'd be easy for the Garleans to "discover" her body in some crater or excavation site like they did with Ultima Weapon. And just as well, since Jenova is an extraterrestrial with the capability of interplanetary travel, its quite possible to see Jenova make an appearance in Eorzea with no negative impact on the lore, however if Jenova does make an appearance I think she'd be best off as an optional side boss instead of being a part of main story. I think it'd be pretty cool to see Jenova make an appearance with the new graphics vs FFVII's, she's creepy as hell but who cares!? That's half the fun.

Or another thought, Jenova landed on Dalamud before it fell and is now lying dormant somewhere in Mor Dhona.

Am I the only one that feels like this should be a thing? JENOVA needs to be somewhere in this game as an 8 man boss fight, preferrably in Coil.

Thoughts?

Wait, what? Why on earth would we need the Calamity from Final Fantasy 7, when we already have this bad ass filling the role?

[Moheeheeko]

No.

Whenever we face Bahamut, pretty sure he's gotta be pissed off at the Allag technology putting him back together... it's going to be a 24 person raid is my thinking.
