Thread: What/Who will be the 6.0 expansion final boss? And what about the raid bosses?

Okay so, starting with 2.0 every expansion has had a final boss that is common in the series, either as a super boss or a reoccurring summon. We had 2.0 and 4.0 with super bosses, Ultima Weapon and Shinryu, and 3.0 and 5.0 with summons Knights of the Round and Hades. So who could we get for 6.0?

Additionally, the 8-man raids have done something similar as well, 2.0, 3.0 and 5.0 were all summons; Bahamut, Alexander, and Eden, and 4.0 was Omega a super boss. At first glance it doesn't look like the Pandaemonium raid will follow this theme, but another theme is incorporating old main/side villians into side content. We got Chaos from 1, Cloud of Darkness and Xande from 3, Exdeath and Gilgamesh from 5, Kefka from 6, "possibly" Sephiroth from 7; but that occurred more in 1.0, and Ultimecia from 8. And more than likely are getting Mateus from 2 in the new raid. But who is left and will it make sense?

We know from some information given to us from the announcement that more than likely we can expect references to Mateus, Golbez, Zemus/Zeromus, and The Magus Sisters. But, who else could we see that is common/well known in the series?

Yes, that is why I asked the question. They might do something similar to Ultimecia, which would fit both niches.

Trying to be original.

Reuses Anima.

Hmm...

Not that I'm complaining. I loved FF X, and Anima was one of my favorite bosses/summons in the entire series. But still, not entirely original. And that is based on everything we currently know. We still have a lot to learn about this new expansion. I didn't get into FF 4 much, but I see a lot of people talking about the similarities there as well.

I'm not so certain that the expansion is going to be FFX themed. Remember we just had the WOL turn from Dark Knight to Paladin, he's traveling with the healer and DPS caster jobs, we're getting the lunar whale mount, and we're going to the moon... that's all pretty strong allusions to FFIV. So if I had to guess, I could see a situation wherein there's some combination of Zodiark and Xenos becoming Zeromus.

That said, many of the expansions take elements from multiple games as reference. Stormblood had some strong FFVI vibes with Castrum Abania being a reference to the Magitek Research Facility. And the story of stopping the flood of light being similar to the backstory in FFIII. They do this without the final big baddie actually being from the game the expansion references, so there's no way to really tell based off the clues we have so far except to say that it definitely WONT be Anima as the final boss.
