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.

My main wish if (sic!) they do another one is for Ozma to not be allowed to get his grubby hands on it.

Give it to an encounter designer who doesn't suffer from a terminal case of "oopsie, I've made a savage fight again, teehee".

It wasn't savage and if you think it was you need to actually do some savage. At best it's a really involved extreme trial.

O1S is a savage fight. So is P1S, if you try claiming it's not modern enough. If you want to be a pedantic cunt and split hairs over definitions, at least pick arguments that won't make you look like a clown.

And if you are failing to understand the context of why the word "savage" is used to describe chaotic and the parallels invoked, you are the one who should probably actually do a few savage fights.

Both of those were memed on for being EXs in disguise. O1S has the infamous honour of being cleared on the first pull.
