- 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.
