[ FFIX/FFXIV spoilers] Is this the new trial?

[Alexftw]

A whole fight of nothing but balls. Ball adds, ball mechanics, ball boss. A debuff that turns you into a ball.

Epic! Ball drops!

That looks amazing! Never fought him in original version run throughs, but I have the steam version I beat about a week ago. I guess I'll go fight him this time. See what he's like. FFIX my fave FF.

Totally forgot about Ozma. Too busy trying to make a Kuja/Trance Kuja cosplay ingame

Not to spoil it for you but you'll have a bad time if you don't do the required stuff to weaken this primal
Wouldn't be surprised if this new raid paid homage to that.

So Turn 2, minus the 'Ball Costume' debuff.

Think big don't stop there. Dream it.

The weather has a % chance to turn to balls and rain fun pit balls on your team, applying a 25% weakness to ball-based attacks.

Can't wait for them to add Chocobo Hot and Cold to the Golden Saucer in 3.3.

I would rather see it as an standalone sidequest activity combined with current treasure maps/upcoming treasure dungeons content, more for treasure maps and companion content that so many have asked for so long.

Really? Other than the Antitower, I see very little FF9 references in Heavensward. Ishgard itself reminds me more of FF12 with the design and scale.

uhm....

uhm....

Does GiGi being a thing in XIV mean we wont ever see a proper Vivi for a potential crossover event?
I've not done the Hilidibrand questline so don't know too much about that doll that look like Vivi.

Its a short questline and the only things that doesn't match are the color and shape of its eyes. Although Vivi was also a type of construct in IX.

In the end its been buried deep in the snow for quite some time and cant remember a thing. So Hildibrand names it Gi-Gi despite it being the sound mamets make when turning on. It has not fallen onto its face while running yet.

uhm....

I already acknowledged that I forgot about it. The side quest was so short lived that it didn't leave an impression on me.

[Andevom]

Does this mean we have to befriend a bunch of spirit animals to even hit it?
