[Theory] A totally different kind of event

Discussion

So I went for a walk and started brainstorming. What if there was an event that spanned multiple realms? What if it wasn't about a Final Fantasy party member or notable character? What if, for example, it was an event all about Bahamut? I mean, we summon the guy in the tutorial, and we fight him in a few places, but we can't get him as a summon.

So... picture, if you would, an event spanning multiple realms, where you fight Bahamut and bosses with events tied to Bahamut. For example, you'd go through the Citadel of Trials, you'd fight Deathgaze, etc. Along the way, you'd collect the orbs needed to hone Bahamut, maybe a yet unreleased Summoner (ADULT RYDIA PLS), and at the end, the big reward is the dragon, the king, Bahamut himself.

Thoughts, opinions?

There was this event called .. room of trial or something.

Just wait for a little more than 3 months.

pqvqsWhere's my FFXI realm?•

There was an event that had 4 realms: IV, VII, VIII and X. Each realm had three stages, of difficulties: 20, 50 and 110. By clearing the difficulty 20 you were allowed to pick any past missing character (up to four times, since there were 4 of them). The lvl 50 gave any MC released in the past. The lvl 110 gave MC2, they also released 4 new MC2 on this event: Tyro, Paladin Cecil, Rinoa and Tidus. The ideia was to pick those.

After clearing all the levels an extra battle against Ultima Omega Weapon (V) was possible. Fun thing: you only needed 1 stamina for this fight.

Just a minor thing, but it's just Omega, not "Ultima Weapon".

I'm all in for just Adult Rydia xD Hopefully she can also use the Ice Whip >.>

Here's to hoping that she has other assets as well to bring to the table...

In the game adult rydia loses white magic and gets stronger black magic.
If they want to stay true to that she'll probably have BM 5 SM 5 WM 0

What's weird is that I think JP is getting a Kidia buff. She gets 5 star Black Mag and keeps her current White Mag. That kinda bugs me.

smoothjkI can has Rosa?•

It would be strange if she couldn't, considering the adult version is the one who used whips in the first place.

To clarify, hoping she'll be able to use the SB on the whip as well ;)

I'd kind of find it a bit fun to play through levels pertaining to something running, like Biggs and Wedge or Cid throughout the series. Could award the playable Cids (4 and 7's), or just weapons pertaining to them (Hammers, Spears, etc.)

Would be a nice way to add some variety without having to particularly change the format.

My bigger question on the tutorial bit: Dr Mog has Bahamut, and is doing nothing to help himself. Why not just give me the summon to use? If not, why not just have something like a Soul Break finish the Guard Scorpion. Heck, the updates could retool it as a demonstration of how Roaming Warriors work.

I personally think they could add events where you face multiple versions of a boss, or several bosses in one fight.

  • Hellfire Boss ++ : Ifrit incarnations from V, VII, VIII, and X

  • Golbez, Kain, and DK Cecil

  • Final Fantasy VII's Bahamut Boss Rush: Face Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, Bahamut Form Zero, Bahamut Fury, and Bahamut SIN. (Good place to award FFVII AC Cloud, methinks.)

And so on...

GILGAMESH!!!

Gilgamesh is an FFV character in this game, and had his own event or something. So it's not likely to be him, even if he is one of the most recurring characters.

Awww that's too bad :( I would love to fight him in his various incarnations. His FF XII appearance in particular.

I hope he also comes as a summon. Although it would be easy to exploit his random nature with S/L... Still he is pretty awesome and can't wait to have his almighty powers within my grasp. But enough expository banter. We will fight him like men. And ladies. And ladies. who dress like men.
