Jenova as in FF7

[Vidu]

its not its own game.

people keep saying canon but ultros and typhon and kefka and other references like esper statues.

music this like the center of the final fantasy world. the game is basically fan service it has its own elements but bringing stories from other games you can't ignore it

And we're not ignoring it - but there is a huge difference between having some fanservice refrences to things that were adapted to fit into FFXIVs story/lore and the thing you are proposing, which is basically to turn part of FFXIV into an FFVII-prequel.

FFXIV is its own game and especially with its own story. It might borrow characters or creatures from other FFs and that absolutly fine! But it shouldnt tell another games story. If Jenova ends up in this game as some sort of allagan creature that we defeat in a dungeon - sure, I'm cool with that (as cool as I can be with more allagan stuff at this point). But it shouldnt have any connection to FFVII and it shouldnt add anything to FFVIIs story.

either way in some shape or form you all know sephiroth or cloud or anything from other games will eventually make its way here regardless of what people say or want.

I am putting my 2 cents in before that happens and what I am interested to see come and hopefully one day when it comes they take things in consideration or not but least I gave some input.

Sure, we're most likely going to see them - most likely in the form of a limited time event that will tell a neat little story with no real impact on either world, just how the FFXIII, FFXI and FFXV were: All of them tell stories that are pretty much "isolated" and only on the edge of being canon. Basically "canon with a wink". Those events arent the place to make lore revelations or add to the actual story of any of the involved games.

Seriously, having Jenovas origins explained or expanded on in FFXIV - maybe even in an event that only runs for a limited amount of time - would be pretty shitty for any FFVII-fan who isnt playing this...

Yeah I understand that.
