I don't think we've seen any tooltips. The songs could still be handing out damage buffs but they weren't touched on or simply weren't implemented yet.
Sike she will appear mid story and it is reserved as a surprise and it will become "Follow Wuk Lamat" again!
Agreed. Though I feel like a hypocrite since I loved the Ivalice raid. Then again that had Matsuno involved and led to the stellar Bozja content as opposed to the over and done raids like Nier or (presumably) FFXI. Sucks that plot wrapped up so poorly though and Matsuno isn't coming back. Feels bad man.
yea well.. which Gundam? so long as I get my classic Char outfit I'm game, I'll take that other guys outfit, ya know that guy seperate from Char, with the sunglasses.
The Ivalice raid was actually tied into the gameworld, though, beyond 'golly gee here's this strange portal!'
NIer fits right in, its world already involves multiple dimensons, Automata happened because a fantasy world brought fantasy aids and magic to Earth, afterall.
Ah, I think I misspoke with using 'thematically.'
I grew to really like them as the expansions went on. They really went from being annoying tag along kids to being the the FF equivalent of the justice league.
Agreed. I remember seeing people getting all emotional over the Endwalker launch trailer and the stuff in Ultima Thule and I was just going 'none of these fuckers are staying dead so why does any of this matter?'
The hill I will die on is that Alphinaud is the perfect example of character development over the expansions, and a role model for the care they should have shown all our main cast members.
The Ivalice raid barely counts as a "crossover" as it was directly tied into the story and was being setup to be the next "main" area until they shuffled it all off into the Bozja relic area instead. It's no more a crossover then the FF6 / FF4 was.
I really like the idea that it basically indirectly confirms FF14 is in the same universe as Ivalice. Shame about the drama behind the scenes. What was going on in particular? I thought it was pretty cool the whole way though.
Wasn't it confirmed FFXIV is doing its own thing? There are visible differences between it's version of Ivalice and the OG.
There apparently some differences in names and what not. But it kinda feels like the same way the star wars MMO handled its connection to KOTOR. There's an alt version of Canon to fit the MMO storyline, but everything to a certain extent still happened. The events of a version of FF tactics and even Vagrant story happened and its part of 14's world. That's pretty cool.
if they want to ride the wave then something based on UC to tie to hathaway. Alternatively G Gundam where devil gundam can be the final raid boss. Or if they want play it safe, SD world with the 3 kingdoms.
