Echoes of Vana'diel FFXI Alliance Raid

[MicahZerrshia]

Could be a dynamis nm too - although we had dynamis mobs into prishe for jeuno so maybe that’s more an indication of enhanced npc.

Honestly with the lackluster, to put it kindly, way the devs have been doing things the past few expansions, they likely just googled "Jeuno Enemies", found there were only dynamis enemies listed, and used those without looking any deeper into it.

They did say they had help from the XI team, but my guess is they were solely used for visuals and the nostalgia bait chat bubbles above the Jeuno ghosts heads.

Delkfutt (presumably) looks closer, even with the less visible cermet spine and pattern on the outside. Chateau d’oraguille looks a lot more exaggerated, not sure if the taller spires are meant to be underlining/caricaturing the elvaan arrogance or not given it’s through the lizard’s recollections. Again the angle/camera depth might be skewing things, the fountain is set a way back from the drawbridge; I’m not sure this view would be possible in xi without the fountain obscuring everything.

What seems odd is them using San d'Oria as the second zone when Ordelle currency is already being used for the first raid series (Ordelle coins in XI was San d'Oria's Dynamis endgame coins). So are we just getting Byne bills next in place of it? (Byne bills being FFXI Bastok Dynamis currency papers in place of coins for the endgame zone). Seems out of touch. Dynamis Jeuno (from the XI standpoint of Dynamis) was just all cities currencies depending on which beastmen you killed. IE you killed Yagudo in the past-- you got Tukuku shells from Windurst nation. You killed Orcs, you got Ordelle currency. You killed Quadav, you got Byne Bills. You killed Goblins or any other types, and they were any possible types of currency to drop.

It seems like we are really getting the 3 general zones of Dynamis though (or the starting city zones for Dynamis + Jeuno). Qufim tower does look like one of the zones though

Maybe we're getting Montiont Silverpieces next and Ranperre Goldpieces for the third raid.

I'm not sure if we'll get Windurst and Bastok in the raids, I hope we get them all as visitable zones like Lower Jeuno though.

[SeriousPan]

I'd be sad if we didn't get to go to Bastok but I have a feeling that Windurst will be the last one given the Mithra/Taru love and its unique aesthetic.

Taking the opportunity to demand they add the Igqira Weskit to the game.

During the aurora weather qufim looks a bit bluer than normal, not quite to the degree of the xiv screenshot but I can appreciate they might want it to be a bit more vibrant than usual.

[CidHeiral]

The chances of Ronfaure being included are pretty high I feel. They seem to be including much more music than usual, I feel like I've already heard half the original OST in the first entry of the collab lol. Personally my dream track would be Battalia Downs but that's probably very unlikely.

[Nadda]

I wonder if they'll do that FF11 deal again... but hopefully for this patch so it's in the public consciousness.

I do need to visit Vana'diel proper someday.

Since they added prishe’s boots to the may login campaign, there might be more back and forth after the second and third walks are released. It was pretty fun visiting all the areas the raid passed through in the ffxi graphics afterwards.

[RagAndBoneLady]

Come on devs... Still time for that Galka minion(Tradable).

Pretty please?~ ;v;

(Isn't this the tower where you first meet Zeid too?)
