If you’ve played Final Fantasy XIV for any amount of time, you’re likely all too familiar with the Crystal Alliance raid series — and by too familiar, I mean you’ve spent tens if not hundreds of hours doing those three raids. The age-old frustration of doing Douty Roulletes for experience and, once again, getting dropped into Labyrinth of the Ancient or World of Darkness. Luckily, you’ll have some way to use all that experience very soon, as FFXIV’s 7.1 update will bring a much-requested feature, alliance raids with increased difficulty.
Titled Chaotic Alliance Raids, this will be one of the major new pieces of battle content in patch 7.1, which is titled “Crossroads.” As you might expect, these are harder versions of the game’s current alliance raids — and the first one will feature World of Darkness. It doesn’t sound like Chaotic Raids will feature the entire scenario, but rather specific battles from the raid — but you’ll still have 24 players.
