“Drawing upon his ever-fertile imagination, the wandering minstrel weaves his own interpretation of events surrounding the Flood of Light, the calamity that engulfed nigh the entirety of the First. From the cause of the Flood to the outcome of the struggles that followed, the man's evocative verse conjures up vivid images in your mind's eye─images of an alternate future that may have unfolded for Ryne, the young Oracle of Light...
— In-game description
Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) is a level 100 ultimate raid introduced in patch 7.11 with Dawntrail. The raid, which is abbreviated FRU, is based on the Eden raid series from Shadowbringers and is the sixth ultimate raid to be added.
Unlock and Requirements
- After completing
AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage), speak with the Wandering Minstrel in Tuliyollal (X:11.1 Y:14.6) as a level 100 Disciple of War or Magic. - Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) can only be accessed via the Raid Finder after forming a pre-made party of eight players who have all completed AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage).
- Limited jobs not allowed
- Unrestricted Parties not allowed
- Having more than one of any job in the party will eliminate passive limit break generation
- If a player logs out or disconnects when combat is initiated, they will be KO'd upon returning to the game.
- Players are expected to have item level 730-735 "best-in-slot" gear to participate. Best-in-slot sets for each job are provided by The Balance and Icy Veins. These primarily consist of Dark Horse Champion's Weapons, Dark Horse Champion's Armor / Augmented Quetzalli Armor, and Dark Horse Champion's Accessories / Augmented Quetzalli Accessories, all fully melded with certain materia depending on the set.
Guide
All throughout this battle, the arena will be surrounded by a border that will kill any player who touches it.
Failing mechanics or being hit by avoidable AoEs will inflict a crippling -90% 
Damage Down debuff that lasts for 3 minutes. In addition, taking certain stack mechanics with fewer than the intended number of players will inflict stacks of 
Mark of Mortality to all players in the stack based on how many players were missing, which functions and lasts identically to the Damage Down debuff. If any player receives 2 or more stacks, they will explode and wipe the raid.
If the player does not need to be immediately alive for a mechanic, they should incapacitate themself by walking into the wall and then be resurrected to remove these debuffs, as the 
Weakness debuff is only around a 25% damage loss that lasts for half the time.
Phase 1: Fatebreaker
Phase 2: Usurper of Frost
Intermission
Phase 3: Oracle of Darkness
Phase 4: Usurper of Frost and Oracle of Darkness
Phase 5: Pandora
Reward
Upon completing Futures Rewritten (Ultimate), players can earn a separate reward once per week. Players who have yet to receive that week's reward can still claim it even if other members of the party have completed the duty prior to the weekly reset. This restriction will be removed in Patch 7.2.
The reward can be exchanged with Uah'shepya in Solution Nine (X:8.7 Y:13.5) for Ultimate Edenmorn Weapons.
Completion of this duty will unlock a new Adventurer Plate design in a later patch.

Trivia
- The raid was first revealed at the 2024 Japanese Fan Festival, making it the first ultimate raid to be revealed in a Fan Festival prior to an expansion release, instead of a Live Letter prior to a major patch.
- This is also the first ultimate raid to be referenced in the key art of a major patch.
- The theme of this raid breaks the existing pattern of prior ultimate raids (8-man raid > main story > 8 man raid > main story, etc.) because the prior ultimate raid,
The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) was also based on a raid series. An ultimate raid based on the Stormblood main story was apparently skipped. - This ultimate is named after Shadowbringers Patch 5.4 "Futures Rewritten", which introduced the final tier of the Eden raid series the ultimate is based off.
- This is the first ultimate where all dialogue is fully voice acted. There are also several new voice lines compared to the original fights, including lines that have been re-recorded.
