    Highly desired items, in fact, will be separate from all other aspects of the final chapter.

    Other aspects will exist normally; highly desired items will be suspended in a realm more akin to nonexistence. Similar to the idea illustrated by Schrödinger's cat, except the cat illustrating this idea would be dead either way and the unknown factor is how bad it smells.

    But if the cat is dead does it drop loot?

    It doesn't smell because the decomposition bateria don't know if its dead either.

    Basically, it's now going to be a few whms, and as many empy DDs as you can get hold of. Fill any spare slots with non-empy WARs/CORs/BRDs.

    If you proc, great, it gives the WHMs a rest for a minute. If you don't, they'll just keep spamming cures.

    At the end of the day, it's still just going to be a spreadsheet of how many times you manage to kill them before you actually get a drop that you want.

    This. Looks like I'm going to have to level up and get an empy for WAR or MNK or be one baller WHM or BLM in order to get a spot in this 'final chapter.'

    Hell, I was niche coming PUP/SAM or PUP/SCH. I didn't do much, but I covered procs. Now that I don't have that, I can expect to see absolutely none of the new drops from new Voidwatch. Oh wait. Drops in Voidwatch. I didn't see any before this new system.

    I revoke my statement. This changes nothing.

    This plays well into the next expansion that they have planned, in which you enter yet another version of abyssea called "Aessyba" through the maws. In this new abyssea, atmas are randomly assigned to players and cannot be selected. Harder NMs will infuse atmas that make you suck more. This will be ok, because defeating NMS will not be necessary. Instead, you will be required to befriend them, and bestow them with sufficient self esteem to let go of their material possessions and embrace their inner beauty. This will be considered a full expansion as it will have 9 old zones re-skinned in different colors, 200+ renamed NMs and the new job class "Evil Genie Developer Bro", a job who's JAs have names that imply something awesome, but when used do something neither you nor you party expected or wanted.
