Castrum Abania is a Dungeon Dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood.

Story[]

FFXIV Castrum Abania 01

Castrum Abania opening cinematic.

The Alliance and the Resistance cannot suffer a repeat of the slaughter at Specula Imperatoris. As such, they will not march upon Castrum Abania until they can be certain the fortress's main cannon will not be brought to bear against them. With the aid of an Alliance contact in Radiata, you and your comrades have devised a plan to infiltrate the castrum and seize control of the cannon. Several parties, including yours, will attempt to create a diversion inside the castrum, thereby allowing Lyse and her unit of Resistance fighters to proceed relatively unhindered to the fire control center. Weapons research is to be your destination, and one can only imagine what manner of foes await you there...

Behind the scenes[]

Similar to the Aetherochemical Research Facility, this dungeon draws heavy inspiration from the Magitek Research Facility from Final Fantasy VI, in particular the bosses—the Magna Roader is a recurring enemy that first appears in the Research Facility; Number XXIV is based on the Research Facility boss Number 024, using the Roman numerals for 24; and Inferno is based on the boss of the name which appears in the Research Facility portion of Kefka's Tower, and is a palette swap of Research Facility boss Number 128.

Of particular note, both Inferno and Number 128 have a third eye on their foreheads, indicating they were Garleans who were experimented on and turned into monsters.

Had Inferno been instead named after Number 128 and used Roman numerals like Number XXIV, it would have been named Number CXXVIII.
