Xande is a villain in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, based on the boss from Final Fantasy III. He appears for the first time in patch 2.3 Defenders of Eorzea as the last boss of Syrcus Tower.
Appearance and Personality
Xande has white hair, white pupiless eyes, and dark blue skin with golden yellow markings and red forearms. He appears with great muscle mass shown by his exposed upper body, he wears a blue cape, orange pants, an orange and blue sash wrapped around his waist with a demon shaped buckle at the top-center of it, and brown boots.
Story
Xande on his throne at the top of Syrcus Tower.
Xande was the founding emperor of the Allagan Empire who desired to expand his dominion prior to death. Ages later, the current Emperor Amon used the technologies of his people to resurrect Xande within a clone body to restore their empire to its former glory by making a pact with the Voidsent of the World of Darkness. However, Xande sees the pointlessness of existence and decides to establish the pact in a way that the Cloud of Darkness would wipe out all of Eorzea. Though the events of the Fourth Umbral Era buried Xande alive within the Crystal Tower, he returns after the Seventh Umbral Era unearths the Crystal Tower with the Adventurer leading a campaign to stop Xande and negate his pact with the World of Darkness.

Battle
Emperor Xande is featured as the final boss of the Syrcus Tower. His most notable mechanics are as follow:
- He will summon a group of yellow orbs in the arena, which will then follow to blow up dealing raid-wide damage. In order to counter this, at least one person must step into the circles around each orbs, thus erecting a barrier around it and mitigating the damage dealt.
- After some time, he will disappear into thin air, and reappear on his throne. He will then summon a bunch of devices who, if not dealt with quickly, will cause a comet to fall on the group dealing massive damage to every player. It is better to focus first on the lesser devices at the side of the arena, and in the end destroy the one at the center.
- After he tries to summon the comets, he will cast an ominous black orb on the head of one party member for each alliance. The orb will then explode, leaving behind an AoE pool that grants Levitate. The damage dealt can be split between people, so it is necessary to stack up as to both mitigate damage and gaining the effect of Levitate, which is crucial in order to avoid the incoming Quake attack. After the Quake attack spread out as he will cast AoEs on the pools.
