A thought: Where are the other recurring characters such as...

[KaivaC]

In my downtimes that I take from FFXIV, I've been playing through FF Brave Exvius and FF Record Keeper. Between those two games, I re-experience a lot of the good times that I've had with Final Fantasy as a franchise. That being said, while we have some of the most recognizable recurring characters in FFXIV already, I can't help but wonder about who we've not seen up to this point. Like, the Magus Sisters. Think they'll ever show up between 4.5 and the end of Shadowbreakers?

Or the Four Fiends (though to be fair, they've only showed up in 3 mainline game, to my knowledge)?

Pretty sure I missed a few of the recurring characters. Which recurring character/primal/theme would you like to see? Or maybe share your favorite recurring things currently in FFXIV.

I prefer seeing more original new characters in Fanservice Fantasy 14 to be honest. Every time we've had one they've always been super memorable, ie Ravana.

That being said, I'm really hoping we get to see Shemazai and Ultima in the next Ivalice raid.

I'm in between on that topic. I'd say I prefer "obscure" legacy FF reference like we had the Warring Triad in 3.X or Doma in 4.X more than direct references (Deltascape and Sigmascape), although I enjoy the latter anyway. I'll say I don't like it when it feels pushed into the story just for the sake of being a FF reference.

Fingers crossed that we get to fight both her High Seraph and Arch Seraph forms in their glory. Especially curious on if she'll be using Ultima and Divine Providence in the 24-mans.

Except Ultima is alas, story wise, an Ascian (she shows up briefly during the meeting of the Ascians at the Chrysalis during the patch 2.3 story, albeit using her original PS1 FF Tactics translation name of 'Altima', no doubt because SE wanted to avoid confusing players with the Ultima Weapon (the battle theme for which is simply called 'Ultima'. Confused yet? ).

Fanservice references will continue to show up and appear in the game so don't give up just yet (although as far as the Magus Sisters are concerned, I wouldn't be surprised if SE went the way of FFXI and referenced them in a more obscure way, rather than have them as, say, a Primal).

Technically it wouldnt really be recurring, given that both my wish-primals only appaeared in FFX (my personal favorite of the series), but I'd love to see them finally reveal Valefor, who they hinted at in that sidequest with the doman kids in Mor Dhona!

But Valefor is only on my wish-list because I liked her so much as summon in FFX (I'd just take a Valefor-Mount aswell, please and thank you) - who I think would make for an intresting fight is Anima! If they keep the FFX-design, we'd end up with a top and a bottom half, which would make for an excellent way to split an 8-man-party 4/4 for at least part of the fights. I really think she could make for an intresting trial!

I've looked at Final Fantasy 11 only having played 7. I see all the classes are there. So I suppose in the future new classes will be here. The developers have met all our list of demands, but for new players who are not in the know maybe we can contribute to the concept of a new class.

Don't forget there is going to be that Final Fantasy 15 Crossover coming up. We've been so excited about the news of the next patch that we forgot about the news. Monster Hunter added so much new to this game, I hope Monster hunter is more than just a Fad.

Question: when the cross over of 15 occurs, do I need to start a new alt to get the benefits of the new lore?

Nope, the crossover events always exist in their own little bubble with no direct connection to the main storyline, so you can enjoy the event quests regardless of where abouts you are up to in the game (at least, the two FFXI events, the FFXIII event and the DQX event were like that).

So, don't be concerned, there will be no need to make an alt to get the 'new lore' when FFXV's crossover event does happen, because it will not have any impact on the main story.

What? Then this game doesn't go on?

I'd love some moombas of course we don't know what the other beast tribes for 5.0 are yet. I'd think we'd get the god/primal that goes with the Nu Muh. We have gotten a little of 8 but compared to 7, 6, 5 and 4 you'd of thought it didn't sell well or something. Of course we also don't have a lot from 9 either.
