Part of me hopes the alliance raid plays out this.

I kinda hope it gets a little meta/fourth wall-y, and goes down a players versus developer narrative. Like we end up fighting XI's Absolute Virtue again, and upon defeating it Sareel Ja gets upset over the outcome, and 'patches' in a new version with new attacks. I also think it would be hilarious if in the end Sareel Ja gets permanently sent to Vana'diel, and ends up as a punching bag for XI players.
