Please bring forth ALEXANDER!

[Seif]

Just imagine how awesome this fight could be with current gen graphics!

A boss so large could give the battle team a whole new way to design a fight.
There might even be a lot of traveling between it's body parts to damage weak points to break the cycle of all summons being fought in a circle arena.

Awaken the beast and stomp our parties under it's colossal feet pls!

Maybe he'll be in the final crystal tower? Then again, I would hate to see Alexander be a pushover..

Would be nice if SE could create that epic feeling. So far only Titan has that for me. The other primals are really just an S rank with mechanics.

Alexander doesnt fit the theme of the forbidden land Eureka. And I remember an official artwork in which all the bosses of the ct series were shown. No Alexander, but Cerberus.

It's actually a wallpaper you can find here

The exact image is below and features all the bosses that the CT series will include (although by now we've seen most of them, when the image was released LoA had only just came out).

[Kuwagami]

the next CT step isn't the Eureka Lands but the World of Darkness. And iirc, it will feature the 4 apocalyps knights and the cloud of darkness as end boss.

Alexander is the last obviously classic summon left to include, I'm hoping they save him for something epic in Heavensward. He seems like he would fit in the expansion well, knights and castles and holy wars and all that.

[Delsus]

I could see Alexander being somehow related to Ishgard, as Ishgard is known as the holy see and the people are very religious, and Alexander is a holy/light based summon. Obviously not a deity as the people of Ishgard worship Halone.

I personally liked how they used Alexander in FFXI and I wouldn't mind seeing something similar.

I'm going to assume you switched your Roman numerals, meant FFIX, and give my full support to Ishgard itself being Alexander

Or it'll be a total cop-out and they will pull the same BS they did with Bahamut in T13 of Coil.

Hell yeh.

But actually I had the realisation you did about the fight a while ago, OP. An actual raid boss scaling up the side of Alexander itself, being bombarded by AoEs while you do. Getting knocked off by attacks (probably) won't kill you... but you will have to scale your way up (and if you fall off and die from the damage a healer has to go back down to res you). It could be amazing if done right.
