    We've fought Phlegeton and Acherons but what about the rest?

    Recently I was reading on the game FF Dimensions' wiki, and a few thoughts popped into my head. In the Crystal Tower, we fight the boss Phlegeton (named Acheron before patch 2.3, and Acheron now being an enemy, both being names of 2 of the 5 Underworld rivers in Greek Mythology). In the game FF Dimensions, that have Warriors of Darkness/Light as well, there are 2 bosses among The Four/Divine Generals named Styx, and Cocytus, named after 2 of the remaining Underworld rivers, with the remaining river being Lethe (probably already used as Matron's Lethe tree?). I'm wondering if we get to fight Styx and Cocythus* on the First or some other place/time? We're restoring the elements on the First with the Eden 8-person raid, so that could be a place they could place them?

    PS: Apologies for the many side-thoughts ^^;

    * Also noticed the ice flowers in one hand on the concept art on the wiki of Cocytus in FF Dimensions looks like WHM lilies, and the one in the other hand look like the new ShB artifact staff, but that's most likely a coincidence I guess.

    The whole Crystal Tower raid series is actually based directly on FFIII, right down to the music, so the enemies appearing there are references to FFIII's final dungeon (it even features FFIII's final boss the Cloud of Darkness). FF Dimensions is just a multicrossover fanservice game featuring things from all past FF titles, so I doubt you'll see SE throw in any FFD references I'm sorry to say (not that I've played FFD), although anything is possible I guess.

    Hmm, ok... Though the Return to Ivalice raids are throwbacks to both the FF Tactics series and FFXII, so it's not like they haven't done it before. I haven't played it either (yet). Mostly I just want their outfits after having read the main character wikis

    Tactics and XII take place in the same universe.
    III and Dimensions do not.

    I mean, nearly all of the primals and a bunch of the raid and dungeon bosses are named after real world mythological figures; it's pretty much only a matter of time before we see those names, reference to tertiary FF spinoff-game or not.

    The real FF3 Eureka is underneath the Crystal Tower. The Eureka we visited (Anemos, etc) is The Island of Val. I suspect we will be visiting the REAL Eureka in perhaps a Dungeon form, or like a HoH thing.

    I could have sworn there was an enemy somewhere in FFXIV called Cocytus. Some icy thing or other somewhere.....hmmm.
