Interview with Yoshi-P discussing Raids for the upcoming patches

Few highlights that I found interesting:

• Alliance Raid is coming in the first patch.

  “In patch 7.1, we will be having the [FF11 crossover] alliance raid Echoes of Vana’diel, and we are also creating a 24-person savage which is shaping up to be really good.”

• They built it with expected wipes in mind.

  “When a player goes through on their first playthrough they will probably wipe three times – this was what we felt was a good line to draw.”

• “24-man Savage” will be different content from normal.

  “On the other hand, the 24-person savage – this is going to be a completely different boss. So it is going to be completely different content”
