Final Fantasy 14 has a lot of tricky content to try to overcome, which requires coordination between teammates to complete. While there’s plenty of content for eight people to try out, there’s virtually nothing for the challenge chasers that includes more players. Well, that’s changing in Patch 7.1, as a new type of Alliance Raid is being added called Chaotic Alliance Raids.
As the name suggests, Chaotic Alliance Raids will be harder versions of existing Alliance Raids that will be playable by 24 people. In Final Fantasy 14 Live Letter 83, director Naoki Yoshida reveals that this new level of Alliance Raid is a lot harder, more along the lines of a Savage Raid, and several screenshots are shared from the game’s first.
Final Fantasy 14’s latest Live Letter reveals chaotic Alliance raids
As the name suggests, Chaotic Alliance Raids will be harder versions of existing Alliance Raids that will be playable by 24 people. In Final Fantasy 14 Live Letter 83, director Naoki Yoshida reveals that this new level of Alliance Raid is a lot harder, more along the lines of a Savage Raid, and several screenshots are shared from the game’s first.
Right now, the only Chaotic Alliance Raid being added is World of Darkness, a battle that most everyone will be quite familiar with. However, instead of having players run through the trash to get to the final boss, this special Chaotic Alliance Raid immediately dumps players into the battle against the raid’s final boss.
At least we won’t have to fight that five-headed dragon again and again.
From the screenshots shared, we can see that the battle itself will be extremely chaotic, as the name suggests. It will require a lot of teamwork between alliances, so it’s likely that you’ll need pre-made parties to actually conquer the fight. Unfortunately we didn’t get any footage of the fight in action, but it looks pretty intense.
Of course, there will be plenty of incentive to actually try out this special Alliance Raid, as Yoshi-P has explained that special rewards will be available for players who manage to complete it. He doesn’t share what these rewards are, but you’d expect it to be something pretty important, like armor. If these raids are popular, Yoshi-P hints that more could be added. Terrifying.
