Ultimecia's Castle as a Mid-Level Raid

[Miste]

I thought it would be cool if Ultimecia's Castle from FFVIII would be a mid-level raid. and the booses would be as follows:

"First Instance"
Trash Mob (TM)
Elnoyle
TM
Red Giant
TM
Gargantua/Righty/Lefty/Visage
Krysta

"Second Instance"
TM
Grendel
TM
Droma
TM
Tri-Point
Trauma

"Final Instance"
TM
Sphinxaur
TM
Catoblepas
TM
Tiamat
Ultimecia


What do you guys think?

I am totally for the idea of Ultimecia's Castle as a future raid instance. I've even suggested it before when the topic has come up in my FC.

While I love VIII, there are probably other FFs that would be easier to have a XIV version type story of...like Necron and Kuja...think about all the Garleon experiments we could fight in a raid involving that.

All for it.

If this ever came about I think SE could really make an exciting final fight against Ultimecia, Griever, and like in FFVIII... Ultimecia joined with Griever and so on. Make it happen!

However, due to disc space eaten to fit more FMVsTime Kompression, after you unlock it all the cities and aetheryte camps will be walled off to you forever.

the "draw" system, gunblades needing ammo, cars needing gas were my ff8 drop off points. one of the biggest buzzkills of ff14 however(for me anyway) is materia. anyone with resurrect or bolt 3 or even a summoning materia could use those skills, now its just lame ass state points. stupid role system wont let my pld be all it can be and use magic attacks lol

OT, but the materia system would be a lot more interesting if they would add unique effects and stats to this game. Stuff like Double Attack, Enhance Jump Effect, Increase Emnity, Cure Potency, Absorp HP/MP/TP, etc. So slotting certain special materia could add new effects to your weapons or equipment. I'd limit the number of specials per piece for balance.

Could be nice, I really liked how this dungeon look like but if I had to choose a dungeon from a past FF it would be either Memoria or the Iifa Tree from FF9 that would get my vote (both would be nice).

@HeavensSword

OT, Logged in just to say YES! Although I assume as the game grows they have plans to add more interesting affects to gear such as those you recommended.
