Echoes of Vana'diel FFXI Alliance Raid

[Ryskim]

I think it will revolve first around Dynamys versions of Bastok, Sandoria and Windurst mostly (maybe Jeuno too?). Since Dynamis is a huge thing in FFXI and also strongly tied to Endwalker. Then you have Sky (Ru'Aun Gardens, The Shrine of Ru'Avitau and Ve'Lugannon Palace), and Sea (Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu and, well, you know, the Zilart capital).

So there will be 3 raids: Dymanis capitals, Sky, and Sea.

I hope we get some nice cutscenes

Why'd they feel the need to make the Shadow Lord's throne room look like something on the 13th?

I guess he did some renovations and added sky lights.

It is appropriate though, given the Kindred exist in FFXIV already as generic Voidsent. Calling it now - this is going to involve the Void/Thirteenth again, with FFXI references; Shadowlord being another high ranking Voidsent leader like the Cloud of Darkness or Golbez (and even more appropriate, given FFXI itself was actually described by it's original designers as "everything they wanted to do with FFIII but couldn't due to the technical limitations of the time").

In other words, we're getting another Eden essentially. I so want to be proven wrong though!

Castle Vzahl Baleys wouldn't be the worst theme, albeit one note...

I actually preffered Castle Zvhal as a theme, aka the 'Baileys' theme... (still remember the first time I ran through there to fight Shadowlord.... my heart was pounding the whole time even though I had a full party helping me).

And to say nothing of Awakening..... (hopes both these themes will be in the upcoming raid - either originals or remixes.... I'm not picky).

Dancer artifact, Monk Artifact, Dark Knight Artifact please

The bad part of role gear is we can't get each job's different af armor with a couple new creations in the same theme for jobs like ast and mcn that are not in ffxi. I would love for the 3 raids to drop the articfact, relic, and empyrean gear sets respectively even if the relic is just a recolor of the artifact. I would go bonkers if they showed off all that gear as possible drops.

I know its an unpopular opinion, but I am of the stance that we desperately NEED more job/race specific gear. There is plenty of gear that is open to everyone or every job in a specific role. In a game where rp is so important it's sad they don't let us have more job/race/cultural identity alongside the diversity the system already gives us.

I still feel it could potentially end up taking place in the Walk of Echoes (sky kinda has a similar colour). Maybe someone does a Shantotto, but instead with making an Atomos and instead of it going to a different shard, it goes to a different dimension entirely (a place where Atomos devours timelines).
