The FFXI "Gyms of Vana'diel" Self Improvement Reborn!

[Rambus]

I'll add my support to this thread. Very nice idea in making an official activity for skill ups. Hope the devs utilize it.

With all the pokemon comparisons, I for some reason foresee gimmick-based gym leaders in the major cities. >.>

YES!
somone that is expert in daggers, evade, so on.

Lol If I could get my hands on one of those new iPad 2's and the iMovie with it, I'd be pretty good I'm sure ^^; but as it stands, I'm a noob at it /stagger

Funny song though ^^/

Thanks for the support friend ^^/ I too am holding on to hopes and dreams that the Dev Team is chewing on this concept in secret lol
I wish to some degree I would have actually played a Pokemon game to understand the comparisons ><; I'm probably going to have to google some videos to get a better understanding ^^; At any rate, I'm sure FFXI would find a very cool way to pull off such a thing as Gym Leaders, similar to Besiege Generals and such or even Campaign Generals. I highly doubt it would come off as something "cheezy" or "kiddy" like the overall feel of Pokemon ^^/ I would imagine Gym Leaders in FFXI would be the equivalent of Npc NM bosses the likes of what Maat use to be, but even stronger.

Only time will tell though /salute

Sure thing. I really hope the development team reads this thread and implements some form or another of this idea. Due to the PS2 limitations (CURSE YOU PS2!!!!!), I'm not sure how much of that they would be able to implement, if at all, but it's an awesome idea.

you know there is a way around that, why not reuse Burning Circle Arenas? the PS2 already has those so all you would have to do is implement the system, which should be as simple as zoning is

also using Maat as a trainer wouldn't be a bad thing

if this was suggested I apologize I didn't feel like dredging through 30+ pages to find out or not

lol Yep it was in fact suggested ^^/ I'll do you the favor of finding the exact post as I vaguely recall which page it was on. I'll post it in a sec. **Found it!** lol

My response would mirror that of the poster that suggested it back then: So long as the functionality made it to the game, I wouldn't give to spits as to where the Devs chose to build it lol

Thanks for the feedback though, it would still be fun to use the old BCNM arenas ^^/

also for lower level players use of Maat at different difficulties might actually prepare people for LB5, something I wish I was prepared for

I recently replied to a post in regards to Gym leaders (on this page in fact towards the top), and I personally think the Devs would do an awesome job with such a concept.
I'm quite sure they would find a way to expand types of Npcs that train you for certain battles you may come across elsewhere in the game.
