FFXI Alliance Raid Hope

[kaynide]

I'd love for it to be related to FFXI's Dynamis. That is, "Dark" versions of the main towns overrun with mobs...BUT, the big thing there was you could choose how you wanted to move around and what mobs to attack (or not). Raids by default are going to be linear, so I don't really expect it. (This concept of Dynamis has nothing to do with FFXIV's)

Maybe a solo duty with one would be interesting.

Oddly enough, FFXIV and FFXI lore could actually overlap quite well regarding the Shadowlord.

TL;DR version if anyone cares:

Pre-story, a group of adventurers were adventuring when a member of the party betrayed one of their own. The betrayed hero was a Galka, and he became overwhelmed with grief, rage and sadness...which caused his body to change into a demonic form (Crystals were involved).

He sympathizes and leads beastkin against the allied races in that game's first MSQ series.

It's not unlike Dynamis (the FFXIV emotion power version this time), or even Primal summoning.

If it's gonna be echoes of Vanadiel-- I'm betting that all 3 raids will have some form of part to each expansion (other than RoV - aka Rhapsodies of Vanadiel). But this would have to exclude Wings of the Goddess (and the abyssea mini expacs) as well as Seekers of Adoulin. Since it's 3 raids, it'd be up to ToAU (The Treasures of Aht Urgan).

What (I myself) would be hoping for-- would be the entire Dynamis section:

Dynamis zones:
Zone 1 - Dynamis - San d'Oria
Zone 2 - Dynamis - Bastok
Zone 3 - Dynamis - Windurst
Final boss zone - Jeuno
-----
Second raid series:
Dynamis - Buburimu Peninsula
Dynamis - Valkurm
Dynamis - Qufim
Dynamis - Tavnazia
-----
Final raid series:
Dynamis - Beaucedine
Dynamis - Xarcabard
Castle Zvhal
Shadowlord room
