New Avatars Are Coming

[Francisco]

They should give Cait Sith some dialogue while he's out walking around. A little chatter.

Afterall, he was a bit more prevalent in the storyline than some other avatars. More important.

[Korpg]

Hey all! Got a bit of information from the development team about the new avatars that are incoming in a future version update.

While we don't have too many specifics to share because things are still in the planning stages, the current plan is to make Cait Sith an avatar similar to the likes of Carbuncle, where you can go into battle with Cait Sith at your side. Atomos on the other hand would be similar to Odin and Alexander in that he is used solely for his 2 hour ability.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to us.

Atomos is a letdown, but is there any way you can give us any information about the movesets for Cait Sith? And what Atomos's 2hr will be?

[Tarage]

I get the feeling that Atomos's move will be similar to his ability in that one fight. Ala, he sucks stats from surrounding enemies and gives them to you/your party.

I get the impression he can only really talk about things that are somewhat set in stone. Getting avatars is, pacts isn't.

Not that I'd mind them telling me things that end up false later. I'm quite used to never get what I expected anyway.

As long as the plan still calls for a light avatar that isn't just a 2 hour, I'm happy.

1/2 usefull pets is better than 0/2 I guess.

Most don't mind being told "Well we're probably going to do this", but you will get a few that will get in an uproar over "promised" things, that are different upon implementation.

Depends on what Atomos does tbh, I fully expected him to be either 2hr only or part of Cait Sith(Called for 2hr).

[Soundwave]

Just as i suspected!

Have to consider the positives of Atomos too, If he does what he does during the BCNM (Drains Enemies stats to 1, and gives them to player) then it would be quite more useful than people expect.

Lowering an NMs/HNMs Stats to 1 and giving that ~80+ stat to players in range would give Abyssea-level Stat boost while nerfing the mob. Could be quite powerful when used properly.

Actually quite excited about Cait Sith being a "walk around" pet.

My thoughts as well, I do think maybe mob stats wont be lowered to 1...but who knows until we can actual test it. I'm sure it wouldn't be to far from imba. Boosting player stats will do considerable damage for sure. I do fear zerging has already come and gone though...in regards to Atomos.

Extremely interested in how the cat will perform. I'm actually kinda scared from the moves we see in game don't seem that appealing to me.

i can see the cat being underpowered like carby is and is gonna be no more then eye candy, atmos will most likey be the main prize in the whole thing.
