Ultimecia's Castle as a Mid-Level Raid

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).

Ermm.... Squalls Gunblade doesn't actually 'shoot' anything, it doesn't use ammo, what was wrong with the Draw system and... cars need gas? huh, thought they ran on fumes :P

Ironically enough, there was SeeD test question asking if Squall's gunblade needed ammo.

*A* floating continent, not *the* Floating Continent from FFVI. There's also one in FFIII, and Sky in XI was essentially this as well. There is no evidence that this area will be directly lifted from VI or any other game.

False: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyqedOqkaHI

Go to around the 8:20 mark. They specifically mention that it's something all Final Fantasy fans recognize, and they called it the "Floating Continent". It definitely doesn't look like the continent from III, and I doubt it's the "sky" from XI. That leaves the Floating Continent from VI. The only question is what role will it play. Will it be an endgame explorable area ala sea and sky from XI, or will it be an mid level raid ala Crystal Tower?

Plus the music at the end of the new FF14 Heavensward trailer the music is quite similar to the beginning of the music of the Floating Continent from FF6 too.

How about something similar to Arcane Labyrinth in FF2?

Defeat Deumion to obtain your Heavensward Relic
