Memoria

[Hakuro89]

I've been doing a playthrough of FF9 for the last few weeks and got to Memoria last night, and I started thinking- wouldn't this make an amazing dungeon for FFXIV at some point? The whole place is literally made out of memories, so it would mesh pretty well with the concept of the Echo. I could totally see it as an MSQ dungeon later on. I know we already got our FF9 dungeon reference with the Antitower (Ipsen's Castle, the upside down thing), I just figured this would make a lot more sense though. Thoughts?
And Hades would have to be a thing, naturally.




That and what I wouldn't give to have that amazing BGM remastered...

Edit:
This thread about Memoria and other FFIX content, suggestions and topics regarding FFXIV 1.0 should be held elsewhere.
Too much topic deviation = locked thread.

I would love this full support!

I fully support more FFIX references. It's my favorite in the series.

Want, very much want. Also just realized that I called it memento in another thread now.. yay... time to go find and fix it lol.

But I really want this area! With all the crazyness involved.

Actually, while it would make an excellent regular dungeon due to the abrupt room changes it could possibly also make an interesting Deep Dungeon location. I don't really have a prefrence either way, but I love the area.

There are a number of places in that game that I think are really awesome, but just an immediate other one I'd like to throw out is Chocobo's Paradise (maybe just take all locations and the hot and cold mini game too lol) and Cleyra.

Put it upside down and here you got The Antitower.

I like the concept behind the dungeon. Imagine our characters reliving key points from ARR, Heavensward and arriving soon Stormblood while running it. OP, you have a guaranteed like for your thread.

Kind of like the Caverns of Time in WoW. It'd be kind of neat to go through some 1.0 stuff there, or key points in other regions at the time we would have been in another location. That said, a short memory spurt about knocks our character on their side, I can only imagine the violent reaction our character's body would endure from that level of interaction with the echo. So much blood. *shudder*

How? I don't get it lol.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, Memoria (FF9 spoilers, it's the last dungeon so yeh):

Which one do I flip upside down?

That was what I had in mind. The bossed could either be the original 4 element guardians, or switched up to be significant bosses from previous patches/expacs. Gaius, Nidhogg, Warrior(s) of Darkness, etc.

That image literally reminded me of Dark Souls 3 final boss area
