Possible Raid Idea?

[Kos_Mos]

This was a dream I had awhile back that I posted in another forum online. A member suggested I post it here as well. Not sure if I'm posting in right section.

In Honor of Final Fantasy XI

Raid Options: 8-players/16-players/24-players
* Raid could be entered as a Premade or as part of standard Duty Finder
* Treasure was strictly glamour gear. Better resolution reskins of the iconic gear sets.

Raid started off in a room similar to Walk of Echoes with multiple Atomos options. Each Atomos represented a part of FFXI: Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, Wings of the Goddess, Seekers of Adoulin, Abyssea, Add-on Trilogy (A Crystalline Prophecy, A Moogle Kupo d’Etat, A Shantotto Ascension). Note: Rhapsodies of Vana’diel was not released yet when I had this dream.

Within each section there were three paths, one built for 8-players, one for 16-players, and one for 24-players. The more players needed the more difficult the fights and the larger treasure pool. This was done so that if players wanted to enter strictly as an 8-player group they could farm or 16-players or 24-players respectively.

Groups of 24-players for example, could either split into 3 groups going after 3 different areas. They could also split 16 and 8, or stay as a full 24 to tackle a path.

In my dream specifically:
Group A – Rise of the Zilart, Group B - Treasures of Aht Urhgan (My Group), Group C – Add-On Trilogy

My groups path lead to Hydra. In our fight we had an interesting mechanic. I forget what the move was called but I went from controlling my Hyur Bard to switching being in control of the Lalafell White Mage. It was programmed that if you had the job leveled, your hot keys were set to what they are as if you were on that job. If you did not have the job leveled it was as if the abilities were auto-filled in from leveling. A tribute to ‘knowing all jobs’ end game and being what was needed from the older days.

Group A beat their Shadow Lord and was rewarded old Dynamis gear. Group B’s pool had Salvage gear. Group C lost their fight. After winning the path the group proceeds to the final treasure room where duplicates of the gear earned from the groups individual pools are added to a main pool. Only groups that completed their paths get to lot in the final treasure room. This gave group members a second chance at the item their group earned and/or a chance to win an item from another group’s path. Each player was restricted to winning only one item per attempt at the raid.

I stopped reading here. I really did. Can people stop asking for FF14 to be FF11 reborn. They tried that and look what happened.

If you want x,y,z FF11 feature then go play FF11, it's still running.

We already had an event in honor of ffxi. We got some sweet armour. No need for more than that. Lets give ffxiv more ffxiv related content instead of dwelling in the past.

Sorry if I'm rude. This is not FFXI-2, despite how much some people wants to turn this into FFXI. So, no FFXI if possible in this game.

Jesus H. Christ on wheat toast you guys

Calm the hell down. I thought it was an intriguing idea on its own merits. A fun side thing to do. I don't think OP means for this raid to overtake Interdimensional Rift or anything.

We've actually had two, the first one celebrated FFXI's eleventh anniversary of service and featured Shantotto and a giant simulacrum of her that you had to fight in a FATE (with a Shantotto minion as the event reward), and the second event that you're referring to was celebrating the official completion of FFXI's storyline with the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel missions, and of course featured that mission line's main character Iroha (and the FATEs that were a part of the event all had some meta in-joke or reference to FFXI).

You are totally right though, we've already had FFXI-tie-in events in FFXIV, it's time to move onto more original content.

I thank you for your kind reply. I am happy that you found my idea intriguing, it means a lot to me. ^_^

I made the post in reply to a request like I mentioned. I was unsure if they liked the concept or the content so I left the post unchanged from the original on the other forum. I meant no disrespect to anyone nor do I wish to cause issues. I am truly sorry.

Forum Mods: If you think this will get out of hand please just close the thread, I don't want to cause trouble. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you. _(_ _)_
