Alexander Appreciation Thread

You can rely on the forums to be filled with negativity

Anyhow, I personally really like the steampunkish theme of Alexander, it's only a shame we didn't get to explore more of its inside! I loved how everything was sortof askew in A1 and A2, made it feel more like you're inside the Alexander that you see outside.

My favorite Alexander:


No seriously, he's just a crossover between the worst-looking giant Mecha ever and Howl's Moving Castle.
I apprechiate that I got the core and shut that thing down before it could ruin more of that beautiful landscape in Sharlayan.

My favourite Alexander is 9's version
My least favourite is 13's...even though I'm a 13 fanboy...Alex there looks vile.

Never seen this one before but this is how you make alexander dramatic and epic.

Big mistake in FF14 is to not show what alexander is capable of in a cut scene, but just tell us in text. Bahamut in 14 is epic not because its Bahamut, but because we saw, through cutscenes, what he is capable of.

Alexander's look in XIV is okay. Not as good as IX's version but a decent iteration nonetheless.

The problem, as others have mentioned, is how he's been presented so far. The image of him halfway out of the river with both hands on the ground is how he should've appeared, followed by a small display of his power. That way he looks more imposing despite being inactive. Right now he looks like he's clinging on for dear life trying not to drown.

Forgot the story for Alexander.
But is he sentient in this game? From what I remember and correct me if I'm wrong, the goblins just made a giant fortress for themselves that's named after a series mainstay primal.

I dunno about Alex being self aware. I guess you could say he's fundamentally no different to a wind up minion, except he relies on aether to function.

I prefer Type-0's Alexander.

They didn't make it they summoned it and live in it believing it will destroy everything but keep them safe and not harm them. I am pretty sure Alexander is self aware its just because he isn't full strength yet so most likely his awareness isn't as high.
