I feel little uncomfortable, because not everyone beat Final Fantasy VIII, what means, not everybody know how this battle proceeded. So if you do not want to spoil anything yourself from FF VIII and potentially from FF XIV, leave this topic.
Like now.
I want to talk about your ideas about how battle with Ultimecia will be implemented in FF XIV? Battle with Ultimecia stick with me because I expect her to have second, maybe third form. But I never suspected that she will have 5 different forms. Every form has own music theme, mechanics and in 3 from 5 cases, own battleground. Every time when I "beat" her I put my controller away, thinking it was the end, but it wasn't. When I finally destroyed her in climatic finalle, I was exhausted, but it was so satisfying and memorable experience.
What is your idea of implement about battle with Ultimecia, that will have the same feeling of surprice? In that way, that will be faithfull to original but could be surprice even for someone that beat FF VIII?
Speaking for myself, I imagine it that:
These are just ideas. They cost nothing. Instead of real production. So these are things what I would to see in game, but not what I realistically expects or demand (lol). Some of these are realistic, some not very much. But let's just release horses of your imagination. How you imagine battle with Ultimecia in FF XIV?
Sorry for butchering english.

Speaking for myself, I imagine it that:
- After beating first form of Ultimecia, it changes to another as we saw in other battles in the past.
- After second form, it looks like you beat her for good ("fanfare cutscene", UI information), but it's fake and turn out it's just beginning for next phase.
- The same for next two forms.
- After that everything is the same after somebody goes to "exit from dungeon" and everything goes to Final form of Ultimecia from FF VIII.
- But beating her is not the end. It's FF XIV not FF VIII so after Final Form of Ultimecia from FF VIII you fight her Final Form for FF XIV, so even FF VIII players will be surprised
- Every step has own music theme, battleground, mechanics.
- Whole battle is as long as Preatorium. Because why not :d
