The Heavensward raid: Alexander

[Kotemon]

Those of you that hate XI will most likely hate the fact that Alexander will more than likely share very similar mechanics as Salvage and Nyzul from XI.

If that's true I'm hating it already. I was never a fan of the time sink you had to put into the RME. I just started Alex farming, relic here seems a whole lot less maddening. But does this mean we can farm Alexandrite in Alexander?

I have said months ago on how it be cool if Alexander wasn't a true primal fight but instead a raid where you had to go in side him to fight him. I'm so happy that this is really happening

Given that Alexander is mostly described as a city sized giant automaton whom we only see the upper torso, arms and head. It kind of makes sense. I'm wondering if this is the 3.0's version of coil?

On the FFXI's thing, the original Alexander was also huge and we also were running around parts of his original man made body. (Nyzule mostly). But it was more or less a vessel to some entity from the astral plane that over saturated the construct, became independent and demanding to be worshiped. Almost sounds like some of the primals in FFXIV. Although I'm wondering if this Alexander is a real primal or an anchient relic made as an artificial primal to control things like Omega and Ultima weapon. But was never recognized since it was to big to comprehend as anything but a series of ruins.
