I think doom train is cheesy. Let's get the moons involved though.
Not sure why people seem to like the moon so much... I can only recall it being visitable in IV and XI (In Abyssea, I don't think Al'taieu ascended to the moon in Vana'diel), although obviously it played a large part in VIII too.
Doom train being associated with the Garlean empire in some form would be pretty awesome, though.
Here's hoping we get Eorzea fixed before we leave Hydaelyn, though.
I'm kind of the other way around, I could see doom train being used in a different way to the original 'ghost train' thing, like it being a war machine of the garlean empire. However, I think travelling to the moon seems out of place in a world as grounded as Hydaelyn/Eorzea right now. Of course, we don't know much at all about it right now so that's bound to change like FFXI's did.
We went from dealing with little spats in our home cities to dimension-crossing-time-travelling-god-beating masterminds.

It'd be pretty awesome if they tied the Doom Train to a Halloween event in the future.
"Around this time every year, a dark fog sets in, and all of a sudden you can see lights coming closer in the distance and hear a train whistle. Then IT appears! The locomotive of the Damned, the Doomtrain, ready to take you down into the bowels of the Underworld itself!"
And the Doomtrain would actually lead to a Halloween instanced dungeon for you and a party, and some such stuff.
OR, it could be sort of a randomized(but not really) pop like the pirate vessels on the Selbina-Mhaura ferry, that would take you to some kind of exclusive zone/dungeon.



Moon content seems really cool, I really hope we see things later that take us away from terrestrial Hydaelyn. Thinking of moon content reminds me a little of the Promathia battle, where you looked down over Vana'diel. Things like this and things along the lines of FFXI's Sea/Sky (some people may not like the throwbacks, but I had never seen things as cool as them ever in an MMO xD) would be great additions, IMO.



Wholly Sh!t!
A train system to take you to the Garlean Empire continent!
(Clearly 3 years away at least.) ; ;

Agreed.
If nothing else at this point, I at least hope there is a yellow sticky pad on Yoshi's fridge with "Doom Train" written on it and a crudely drawn picture of the moon


I wouldn't be averse to a "Doom Train" encounter. We could use more modes of transportation.

I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
