FFXI did kind of disappoint on this (Even though I thought it was awesome.). Not saying Shinryu, Ultima+Omega Weapon, and so on don't have a place in FFXIV, but they have to be implemented right. Perhaps maybe you can add him in and each expansion he has a new challenge that matches the level cap, fighting only fragments of his power. Dumb idea, but an idea is an idea.

On the case of NM's in the beseiged like areas at camps in FFXIV. I want NM's to be recognizable and iconic. So far, SE seems to be delivering. Iron Giant and Adamantoise are definite iconic monsters that can be considered an NM. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
Shinryu, Ultima and Omega weapon were implemented terribly in XI. I'd rather them ignore them than make the same mistakes.

They were far from ultimate bosses. Shin is solo-able without a brew now-a-days.
