Alexander Appreciation Thread

[DragonSlayer45]

His in-game appearance is nowhere near as bad as his FFXIII look, but still nowhere near how threatening and ominous his concept art looks. I agree his FF9 adaption is probably the best incarnation of Alexander we've gotten.

As for the actual aesthetic, I could honestly have a field day with this one. I will just say I wish they gave Alexander to a less comic relief race, and maybe make it feel like we are exploring the interior of a primal. Alexander looks absolutely gigantic from the outside, like a castle. However, once you step inside, you are greeted with claustrophobic corridors and the standard circle boss fight arena. Its all just kind of... eh.

They actually get a small thumbs up from me there, because of the vent in A4. I mean, that's a faction of what they needed to do to make it feel like I was inside a Primal and fighting with him while dealing with whatever boss there was, but it's also the best encounter, at least from a map standpoint, that they've created since they decided Rivenroad was too good for us... Well, T9 probably still beats it just for the sheer spectacle of that encounter, but T9 was still just a boring circle in the end, made somewhat disappointing by the fact that it started out as Rivenroad minus the stairs... That vent got me so bloody excited the first time, shame they wasted it on dealing with some pos add...
