Echoes of Vana'diel FFXI Alliance Raid

Really wish Aiming would be the second from the left, but it’s probably not…

Well, if they go by the jobs that cross between the games then:

The Miqote woman is wearing the set worn by Ark Angel Mithra, which is a Beastmaster / Thief, so it could be ranged, maybe.

The Lalafell is wearing a skirtier (and I am insulted by this) version of Ark Angel Tarutaru who is a Black Mage / Dark Knight.

The Elezen is wearing Ark Angel Elvaan's, who is a Paladin / White Mage.

The Roegadyn and Au Ra for that matter are wearing Ark Angel Galka who was a Samurai / Dragoon.

Going by that, there will probably be a couple of sets that double up and get reused. Since there's the dileniation between DEX melees and STR melees now, such that we have more than 5 roles etc.

Could be, nothing really fits it job wise.

For reference :

Assuming they do a weird job split I guess Tank and Healer could be EV and Maiming/Striking could be GK. Then HM Scouting and MR Aiming.

Or MR is healer because it's the girliest.

Looking at the trailer, seems this first raid will be.

First zone: Jeuno with Prishe as the boss
Second zone: Sanctuary of Zi'Tah or The Boyahda Tree, with the boss Fafnir or Nidhogg (So maybe The Dragon's Aery)
Third zone: Ru'Aun Gardens (Sky) with the Ark Angels as bosses.
Fourth zone: Castle Zvahl Keep with Shadow Lord as the boss (given he's voiced in the trailer, I assume he is the final boss.)

If this is the correct order of zones, seems a bit weird. Normally you would fight Shadow Lord way before you could get to the Ark Angels in the Zilart expansion.

It covers the base game and first expansion, there was a connection in the game for this. So we'll see if CoP and ToAU will be next raid, and then WoTG and last expansion, but they aren't as connected as base and Zilart.

Finally some good fuckin' food. A nibble of a single corner of an old Ritz cracker.

Last will likely be WoTG and Adoulin, I doubt they would leave Adoulin out. It was a very good expac. But Rhasodies and Resurgence iirc are considered the last expacs even though they were not paid

[Fawkes]

Since Prishe is here I expect CoP would be last, it makes more sense as a finale. Also it's the most popular expansion.

[Sensui]

The more I see the less excited and more filled with worry I become.

No love for Abyssea rip

In terms of bosses and locations yeah I can see it splitting up as 2 expansions per raid. Keep in mind we already have Ra'kaznar stuff in Dawntrail, so they might tie it in with that.

God I'm gonna be doing this raid for weeks
