Let me back off for a 2d to offer some background for individuals who don’t know. In Ultimate Fable’s upcoming mid-November patch, the brand new alliance raid Echoes of Vana’diel – Jeuno: The First Stroll might be added. This new raid sequence is in line with Sq. Enix’s earlier (and nonetheless lively) MMO, Ultimate Fable 11.

We Want Extra Difficult Ultimate Fable 14 Seasonal Occasions
Quick and candy FFXIV seasonal occasions are all smartly and just right, however I would like one thing tougher once more.
In FF11, Prishe is without doubt one of the primary characters within the Chains of Promathia enlargement, a tender Elvaan lady with a noisy mouth and a large punch. Prishe is a loved persona within the FF11 fandom, so she’s the easiest candidate to function within the raid sequence, however the worst candidate for a design alternate.
Individually, I used to be additionally by no means keen on Prishe’s final design tweak in Dissidia 012 Ultimate Fable, as her face didn’t really feel proper.
Let’s get again to the FF14 screenshot of Prishe then. It’s certainly our perfect lady, there’s no mistaking it with the ones red locks and that outfit. However for some explanation why, she has whopping nice giant punchy hands as though she’s about to debut as the brand new persona in Nintendo Transfer’s Palms. I am getting she’s a Monk, however that is comical. Her fists are 3 times the dimensions of her head.
They’ve additionally given her a cape, too. It’s like they took Ultimate Fable 7’s Cait Sith’s cape, and the robot Moogle hands, and slapped them on Prishe. She’s additionally been blinged up with much more gold on her bulbous hands and been given a brand new hairdo, the latter of which isn’t dangerous. It’s simply the ones bizarre hands and cape I will’t recover from.
There’s one saving grace to the most recent data drop, and that’s within the patch art work Prishe seems to be very devoted to her FF11 design. Hair and garments are customary. No cape. Most significantly, no foolish, giant, punchy hands. We will be able to are living in hope that no matter explanation why she is dressed in that hideous outfit is short-lived and Sq. Enix simply loves to wind us up by means of having that be the primary screenshot it stocks of her. However, possibly it’s the other. Perhaps she’s best in short conventional Prishe after which will get some new outfit to put on for FF14. I wouldn’t put it previous Tataru to just do that.
This isn’t the primary assembly between FF11 and FF14, as up to now there were a few crossover occasions between the 2. The Maiden’s Rhapsody with Iroha from FF11’s episodic Rhapsodies of Vana’diel storyline, and Burgeoning Dread, which noticed Shantotto, some other company fan-favourite from FF11, talk over with Eorzea. Either one of those had very devoted representations of the characters in query, however a temporary tournament may be very other to an entire raid sequence.
It’s value noting that each Ultimate Fable 12 and Nier have impressed previous FF14 raid sequence, but characters like Fran and 2B controlled to retain their lore-appropriate seems to be.
We don’t know but precisely how those two worlds will collide, as thus far we best have the next clue: “A pall of unease has settled over Yak T’el, and reminiscences of a global no longer our personal now in finding themselves buried within the woods. The Warrior of Gentle has activate to analyze, however what secrets and techniques will they unearth underneath the ones shaded boughs?”
In response to the occasions of Dawntrail and the way the Yak T’el noticed visions of the Golden Town, this is able to imply some other portal to but some other shard or shard fragment would possibly lie buried within the woods, possibly even some new Golden Town to discover.
When Echoes of Vana’diel was once introduced, the primary art work we noticed was once of The Shadow Lord, the unique antagonist of FF11. That is top FF11 goodness that FF14’s plot is venturing into, and this fresh screenshot of Prishe has me apprehensive it received’t be the gripping dive into this narrative that I believed it could be and as an alternative might be some lighthearted, comical content material that doesn’t give the subject matter the correct remedy it merits.
It’s no longer that I’m steadfast in the concept FF14 can’t combine issues up with the Echoes of Vana’diel content material. Then again the 2 meet will no doubt permit for some inventive liberties, and it might be truly attention-grabbing to mess around with FF11 lore in a FF14 environment. Simply please don’t make the characters we adore glance so daft.
