It would certainly be interesting! I think the closest thing to an Esper in XIV are the Primals, which Era is sort of in charge of killing... haha..ha... But they're like evil horrible Eikons/Summons so nbd. Otherwise pretty much every living being is comprised of at least some magic, since the magic in XIV is aether, which is synonymous with life energy.

... OH my god I've just been snooping on the FF wikia to learn more about Espers and noticed 'Espers were created as a result of humans coming into contact with magic and the Warring Triad during their war for dominance. The gods realized what they were doing was wrong and sealed themselves away in the forms of statues.'

LMAO those are three of the Primals Era has slain in her own world. I am so amused aslkgjhag


She's also slain a version of Kefka as like one of the last memories she has of her original world, actually. The FFXIV developers made this entire raid tier a sort of ode to FFVI. The previous tier was all FFV stuff (final boss of it was Neo-ExDeath). The concept is basically a tournament of worlds, and the Warrior of Light is pitted against antagonists from famous 'stories' around a great many universes.

Lots of crossover from other FF games are everywhere in XIV but never has it been so in-your-face as this tier hahaha

/rambles sorry galsjdgh


and I can definitely relate to that. It's always tricky adjusting your hobbies to fit your new job.
