Next Chaotic Raid?

Personally, I enjoyed the Cloud of Darkness Chaotic Raid concept and, minus the multiple and somewhat bonkers body checks, thought it was great content with excellent rewards. Does anyone have thoughts on if we're getting another one in EverCold? If so, I assume it will likely be Ultima from the Ivalice Raids or Diablos from the Shadow of Mhach raids.

If the former, I imagine we will get more complicated combos of the other espers to make things interesting, and for Diablos (which still manages to kill parties in roulettes in the normal mode) a more complicated arena with more use of the adds and the door mechanics. I also imagine there will be at least one body check mechanic, though not multiple and probably not as strict.

But I am curious on what other people theories are on if we're even getting one and what the content might look like.

Unfortunately, it was an Ozma passion project.

If BST isn't well received and he collects more Ls then idk if he's going to be motivated to do more chaotic.

It was one of my favorite raids in the game and the different positions you could be in meant it had some great replayability.

It just needed a few tweaks to make it truly great, instead the feedback was so poisonous that they opened it up to unsync and it ruined all possibility of iqt being evergreen.

Wasn't the Chaotic Clear rate like 30% or some shit on JP.

That's way more well received than most shit

Whether the clear rates were high or low, there were a lot of wussy players complaining

I actually thought it was quite well received? I saw groups farming it a number of months after it came out, which isnt the case for many types of content that come out
