Those unused train tracks in Central Thanalan...

[Darki]

There are threads popping up about crossover Final Fantasys and elements from them and then I remembered those train tracks...



...Just a thought.

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Godbert suplexing the train Sabin style. He he he!


Could this happen in FFXIV? Maybe? Hmmmmmm?

obviously

The Phantom train was mentioned once in 2.0 as a Garlean Supply Train.

I wonder if the legend of the Phantom train may develop into a Primal since the Train Tracks are no used as much anymore by the Garleans stuck in Eorzea.

If 3.1 brings in Hildibrand Season 2 then we just may get the chance to see that.

(also a chance to finally get that /adjustglasses emote from hildy season 2 if they add it as a reward.)

it would also be a interesting case for Hildibrand to solve and can serve as the Horror Episode Special of Hildibrand Series.

Darn you if this actually happens and it ends up being a spoiler!

I think it was mentioned as a nod to FF6, there's enough nods to FF6 in FFXIV to put it roughly in the same continuity without overlapping the storylines.

I mean come on, The Machinist was first introduced in FF6 with Edgar. If you want to stretch it a little, Machinist "Cid" was first introduced in FF4, but lacks the gadgets.

But I also think the train tracks are still used by the Garleans, just the game lacks no facility to use them. If you jump back to V1.0 the tracks didn't exist.

But yeah I think somehow "remaking" the Phantom Train storyline in some way would be fitting to FFXIV as a side story. The train needs another "side" to arrive at.

Ugh the cell phone version of VI... so ugly.

Anyways this exact theory I recall being posted either during beta or shortly after release of 2.0.

[Ferrasper]

I hope they add Doom train in as a primal fight.

[EdwinLi]

Oh I can imaging how the Doom Train/Phantom train would be like in a Hildibrand episode. It just needs to bring out the Haunted train theme for that episode properly for that Hildibrand flavor Horror Episode.

[goob]

I remember when I first started playing seeing those tracks and standing at the edge of the tunnel, wondering if I should make a run for it. I didn't know at the time if there was a train that ran through.

I hope they add Doom train in as a primal fight.

Problem there is... Who worships trains...? It would work better as a Voidsent machine created by some tech saavy Voidsent. The entire fight would also have to be like Alexander and take place inside.
