To be fair, the Bozjan Capital was blown up by the Meteor Project and is in fact part of the Moon falling, because it was an attempt to draw the energy of Dalamud (and involved already being tempered by Bahamut).

If nothing else, Ishgard will probably stay frosty longer than Bozja stays trashed.

Are people who played in 1.0 only 8/14ths since they got teleported to the future before the 7th rejoining happened?

Nessus posted:This is making me imagine an uncharitably written Bozjan NPC who will constantly compare all our past adventures to the the fall of the Bozjan capital. I'm now imagining this guy as essentially being the mirror to the Wandering Minstrel for a trial or raid series. Instead of dramaticizing your tale, the Extreme trials are all him hearing our story and going 'oh yeah, must've been REAL fuckin' hard, but let me tell you what a real battle is like'. For extra comedy, have him also be the contact for the Bozja Ultimate I assume we'll eventually get, and it's framed as him talking up how hard all these fights were without knowing we were actually there for those.

I don't think we're getting Bozja Ultimate. Specifically because the pattern for Ultimates seems pretty set and has a logic to it. Raid Ultimate, then Trial Ultimate. Bahamut, then Ultima, then Alexander, then Thordan/Dragonsong War. Following this pattern would lead to Omega, then Shinryu (which admittedly could be the same fight and the Trial Ultimate becomes Tsukuyomi and the Four Lords), Gaia, then Hades, who knows, then Endsinger.

Oh man, the thought of Endsinger Ultimate is really appealing. I know it's not that complicated of a mechanic in practice, but smashing planets together and blowing them up just looks and feels really cool.

The ultimates always bring in a bunch of relevant bosses so I'm a little curious who Endsinger's groupies would be. Hermes? ...Zenos?

Hermes/Amon/Fandaniel in some capacity. Since Ultima the Ultimates have had a "musical" name which continues with Thordan (kind of). The Weapon's Refrain, The Epic of Alexander, The Dragonsong War. To that extent it could be the Dirge of the Final Days (Ultimate) and thus include Hydaelyn/Zodiark and the actual Blasphemies as well.

Chillgamesh posted:No way they wouldn't do some kind of Rejoined Zodiark in the ultimate version of Endwalker story bosses Oh absolutely, the first part would definitely be actual factual martyr to the world final days Zodiark, when you beat him he gets sundered by Hydaelyn. I'm honestly shocked the actual EX Zodiark doesn't include Zodiark Completed as a second phase.

There aren't any rules they have to follow; if they think that Bozja or the Weapons would make a better fight than Hades or whatever they could absolutely do that.

You could just do a Fandaniel Ultimate for how many times we fought him. Syrcus Amon, Aitiascope Amon, Aitiasvope Amon, Hermes, Zodiark. Fit in an Out in the Cold reference somewhere.

If they do break the pattern, I think it'd be neat to have a Lightbringers (ultimate) with Vauthry and Titania headlining, and then an Ascians (ultimate) with Zodiark and Emet-Selch headlining

My unironic hope for an Ultimate, even if I'd never do it, is a Historical Superbosses Ultimate. Probably in the Stormblood Ultimates cycle, because Stormblood alone offered up Shinryu, Omega, Yiazmat, (Proto-)Ozma and Absolute Virtue.

Amid azure seas, encompassing the westernmost of the three great continents, there lies a realm embraced by gods and forged by heroes. Her name...Eorzea. The annals of Eorzean history chart the rise of a succession of great civilizations, each one enjoying an age of peace - the Astral eras To date, all have proven ephemeral. Could be mentioned elsewhere too of course, but the scope was set even back then.
