Aww yeah, bring on Alexander. He is one of my favorite summons. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought FFIX's Alexander was not the city itself in the sense that the body of the city became him, rather he protected and had summoning point there. At least how I saw it.. XD. I only say that since someone said using the city might break lore, although it could be neat to have SE phase the city into a broken state. Would be problematic if they want Ishgard to be the new hub for players, not so if they don't - also depending on how long the quest is. Say he spawns, big fight pretty graphics pew pew, city is wrecked and you work to fix the city. Technically you could make it all in world state, like Revenants Toll - but then players going through the story at a later date would have the same issue as Toll's.



I like the idea of making him a dungeon, perhaps they can get a back drop in certain locations to give a massive movement feeling (God of War Titan fight). Or like the Weapon that attacks the Shinra coast cannon in FFVII, could even have the time limit refer to stopping/helping him reaching his destination (depending on if they play mindless evil Alex or good protector).

Not that he needs to be either of those, I just hope they keep him big.
