Abyssea should be extended, honestly.

[Aliekber]

I use RR/GH/Apoc on my NIN (mainly for the Triple Attack, but the Quick Magic and RR3 aren't unwelcome), but I've never zombied anything to death with it. Also, I don't think you can really count Mijin as a zombie strategy, since you can only do it twice (if you have Revit) without a pocket soloer dropping blue chests at your feet, and not being out of the fight when any other job would be is pretty much the whole point of NIN's 2hour.

Besides, zombieing things (to whatever extent it actually happens) won't be limited to Abyssea anymore due to Twilight Mail set having Auto-Reraise on it, so if it's that big of a deal to you, better get used to snagging yellow mobs when people try to zombie.

Abyssea is one of the things that gave the game a badly needed update when it came to leveling and the level cap. You could now fight IT++ mobs with not only fewer people but with different setups or even solo if you'd like. Abyssea also made it possible for people to accomplish more difficult things without dragging an army with them. That each zone has its own set of confluxes makes me feel like that certain zones outside Abyssea should have them as well. The old game died when this add on came out and a new one started shortly after.

What I don't like about Abyssea is that all the zones are copypasta from existing ones with a few tweaks here and there. The zones Abyssea added were zones I've already explored to death. You have nine zones in which you have monsters placed convenient in groups spread across the map with little chance of aggro. I miss zones and content that feels different from fight this monster, get loot, rinse and repeat. I didn't miss the comeback of the "fame" system in each zone as it only makes repeat a specific quest over and over until you can get a specific quest done.There's only one song playing during no battle and another one played during battle, plus another one if you fight the very last boss of the Abyssea add ons. I get the idea that every job had something to offer when it came to the staggering system, which now feels stupid as people have grown so strong they hold back waiting until they've gotten the procs they need. I suppose it makes it more difficult because of you have to hold the mob longer, but there's already two-three groups waiting in line to finish a certain NM for their seals.

These add ons are million times better than the ones before it, but still subpar with content we've been served in the past.
If new Abyssea content gave genuinely new looking zones, more variation of content, an actual storyline that keeps you interested, then I'm interested in more of this. I hope level 95 content isn't based on the current Abyssea add ons or Voidwatch because of the first one is starting to get old and the latter one I've yet to show any interest in.

Lets move to the other places please, far east, west, south and north. Fact of the matter is Vana'diel is a huge place to explore. The ruin city of Tavnazia is one of the places I want to check out.

Devs, any news on The city of Tavnazia? Naja Salaheem hometown. The Olzhirya continent far to the south? anything? lol

edit: I should make a thread about this. >_>

Things I like about abyssea is it can make any job useful with atma choices. It also makes fights more fun due to the fact that its no longer a constant strategy battle of you most specific actions at certain times, like AV, yes I know about procs but hitting procs is so much easier than AV. My absolute favorite part of abyssea is it can be low manned, its not much fun getting 30 ppl together to go fight HNM kings or Sea gods or any type of uber endgame boss or for that matter battlefields like dynamis and einherjar. I always liked salvage it was a fun challenge and abyssea has some aspects of that but it makes it less job specific and more casual.

Things I dislike about Abyssea are the super buffs jobs with crit ws's get, for instance no ws should ever hit 10k except during a brew, yet theres ukon war's. Hell RR wars can hit 7k and thats just wrong. Then of course theres the fact that you only see shouts for proc jobs so if you lack a proc job you can forget about PU groups and some stingy LS's. Another problem I have is how despite all the ppl who constantly complain about abyssea and how old content is better I can never find ppl to do old content with.

I like the general route the game is goin in but I'm tired of the imbalance. Please SE start reading what we have posted and take it to heart.

Well you must not have followed the story of it. Abyssea is the alternate demention that mirrors Vana'diel.

And yes there is a story, and it is pretty good from what I did play of it before I had to quit.

Last I heard there's no plans for an expansion, which means none of those. Which is exactly why I wish they did more with Abyssea's storyline.

Thunderbumping from page 2 to thank you for getting where my quote was from >_>

Almost lost faith in humanity

[Vicious]

You know, I have 3 NINs with Kagannis in my shell and I don't think any of them actually use apoc atma.

I know that 2 of them use RR items prior to fights. I guess I must be really lucky that other groups haven't done that in front of me yet. But then again, I don't usually stick around waiting for them to fight stuff.

I guess that might be common in Leviathan though.

Really? 3 Kannagi NIN in one LS, and not one of them has figured out the proper Atma configuration for their job/Empyrean? Wow.

Although given the context, I suppose it does explain much.

[Karbuncle]

RR/GH/APOC is generally the best DD combo for THF, But recently I've tried out RR/GH/SS, I don't like the lose in nearly 50% of my Triple attack rate (from 35 with apoc to 20 without), But the WS damage was fun. Think i pulled off a normal 2.2k SA, and my highest Evisc was 6480 or something in that area.

Admitted i was just killing Bats in (A) Tahrongi for my Fire Dakini Trials but still, It was fun

Abyssea story is complete. I can't think of anything to further develop the story in there except for megian trials. They're working on content for Lv95-Lv99, as far as I know.
