[Spoiler: 7.3] So, what predictions do you have for Alliance Raid part 3?

With part 2 done, we now have a pattern as well as specific things we've seen and things we haven't seen.

Here's some predictions:

• Gulool Ja Ja fight
  • This one is almost a given. Gulool Ja Ja is a big baddie in Treasures of Aht Urhgan, so having some sort of Gulool Gulool Ja Ja Ja Ja fight is inevitable.
• Promathia fight
  • As they have now fully laid up Shadow Lord -> Eald'narche -> Promathia, there's no way we won't get Promathia as one of the fights in part 3. Likelyhood for final fight material is there, but who knows what they're cooking.
• Altana fight:
  • Less likely but Sareel Ja does say "gods" in plural. Considering CoD is unlikely, maybe there's a Hydaelyn style "test".
• Shantotto (fight?)
  • Ok real talk if they don't put Shantotto in there will be riots in the streets. Just randomly fighting her when ramping the finale would perhaps be a bit weird but then again it's Shantotto. She either has to show up otherwise or just come to beat us up or this whole crossover is ruined.
• Absolute Virtue fight
  • Is it already in Eureka? Yeah. Do we care? No.
• Iroha
  • More in the pipedream category, it feels like something these devs unfortunately wouldn't do due to "reasons". But the thing is: Iroha specifically doesn't leave Eorzea at the end of her quest. As said there's all the reasons of pocket time and optional timed event blah blah but again she should be out there and she should feature in the big FFXI crossover. This all obviously also applies to Shantotto.
• Memoro de la Stono & Distant Worlds
  • Relevant boss themes are a given. We already have Vana'diel March, so these two will definitely follow. We already have a bit of music box Distant Worlds in part 2 and a bit of Memoro de la Stono with Despair (Memoro de la Stono). Expecting straight up orchestrion rolls.

There's tons of fertile crop in FFXI bosses, but unfortunately a lot of them already appear in FFXIV, like Alexander, which wouldn't be too exciting of a raid boss because of that. Then again we had Byakko cameo in part 2 so who knows what kinds of ways they can implement stuff.

Also. I'm going to need the devs to get it together and get to work on putting in some code that will let us give Prishe a HUG.
