So, about the "Phantom Ship"

[Zophar]

By now, many of us have seen that strange airship that occasional shows up in the background of Churning Mists, Sea of Clouds, and Azys La. Anyone stumbled on information about said ship? I thought at first, that it might be imperial, but after a few more sightings, I actually wanna say Allagan. I'm sure it'll play a role in the story later on, and may in fact be a future dungeon, but I'm interested in hearing what others might think.

It's likely the 24 man UFO raid for this expansion. Same thing as CT from ARR.

If so there is a theme. Coils was the Primal Raid. CT was the Allagan ruin Raid. Alexander, Primal Raid. Fancy strange ship, Allagan? Raid

Coils was an Allagan themed raid. The only primals were Phoenix and Bahamut.

Coil is considered Primal themed Raid in my book because the entire story of Coil focused on defeated Bahamut just like Alexander's Story is about defeating Alexander.

CT is more Allagan Ruin raid because it focused on the Allagan's Empire itself with us facing the former Heroes of the Allagan Empire and the Former Ruler along side what allowed his Empire to prosper being the contract with the Cloud of Darkness.

I have to disagree.

Coil was all about what terrible people the allagans were and how them being terrible people was directly responsible for bahamut being so pissed off. Not to mention the allagans were directly responsible for bahamut being reconstructed in the first place with their simulated prayer engines. Bahamut may have been the final boss, but he was far from the star of the show. He was just another consequence of the allagans' tyranny and hubris. 9/12 bosses are either some allagan experiment gone wrong, allagan tech, or enslaved mercydians. Honestly you could consider it a full sweep if you consider the reconstructed bahamut and his 2 tempered followers a consequence of the allagans (which they are).

Alexander on the other hand follows the traditional primal story of being brought about by worship through actual followers like ifrit, titan, etc... Illuminati hear stories of a walking fortress, worship the idea and make it a primal. Every encounter is some crazy gob machine, illuminati or some piece of alexander. Solidly primal through and through.

See, I assumed the part of the central complex in Azys La housing the "Warring Triad" would end up being the new 24 man raid.

There is a fairly securely locked door on that complex that should end up being the entrance to something else.



Edit: In the other thread, someone got a pic of the top of that ship, where it appears to be organic with mechanical bits built around it. The pic is fairly glitched so it could be off though.

Warring Triad could end up being an MSQ dungeon or trial, I'd be disappointed if it wasn't a raid though. As for that ship, guess we'll have to wait until 3.1 to see, doesn't look very Allagan to me, but everything alien is Allagan in this game.

I would not be surprised if the Warring Triad are for a future MSQ. It would fit the part how the Garleans are both stranded in Azys Lla and that they are still trying to obtain the secrets of Azys Lla.
