Raid itself was mega fun. I've run it like five times now. Very first run felt like SE was watching me/we live in a simulation, because I was in Alliance B and got tethered to Ark Angel Galka, and on my very first Divine Might clear, I wound up being the guy who tanked/finished off Ark Angel Galka before the Wipe Reraise, netting us a 3rd dead Ark Angel that wasn't planned to be dead by that point :)
I may be biased, but the new raid is probably the best one in the game. Kinda hoping we get an Aht Urhgan themed raid next and fight the Serpent Generals
It's definitely one of the better ones! Especially for a first entry. I've always sorta felt like the first in line for Alliance Raids gets kinda shafted a bit.
Like, I love all of them, but Void Ark just doesn't feel fun these days and Copied Factory is kinda like... I'd rather just be doing Puppet's Bunker or Tower at Paradigm instead.
I'm trying to decide if we'll just have Prishe and Alxaal along for the rest, or if they'll try to introduce more of the FFXI Maidens.
I'd love to get an Aht Urhgan themed raid with Aphmau showing up, and I would also LOVE for us to fight the 3 TOAU Beastmen kings, Pandaemonium Warden and the like.
And I would definitely love an Adoulin themed one with Arciela and the Naakuals.
