    Voidwatch=Abyssea 2.0

    So thinking about how VW looks next to Abyssea. VW is just a copy in many ways.

    These are almost copies of what we saw in abyssea-------------------------------------------

    Abyssite=Periapt
    Atma=Atmacite
    Traverser Stone=Voidstone
    6 Caturae needed to fight Shin=3 Petrifact fights against 6 Caturae total to fight PW
    Shinryu=Provenance Watcher
    Abyssite of Celerity=Periapt of Exploration
    Abyssite of Avarice=Periapt of Frontiers
    Lunar Abyssite=Periapt of emergence
    Atma of the Apocalypse=Atmacite of Provenance

    Past here things are not the same, but close--------------------------------------------------

    Lights effect drops, not of which kind of chest, but its contents, just as within abyssea however it is now only 1 kind of chest, lights still effect the contents of said chest completely.

    Weakness procing effects drops. Certain types of procs effect different drops. Abyssea Magic procs effected Seals & +2s, VW Magic procs effect quality of drops. WSs effected either Gear or KIs (depending on elemental or not) where as in VW they rise quantity of drops.

    Weakness KIs, these are the same as brews in many ways, it makes mobs very weak by compare to you, and easy to kill, even if you may not proc it for its full drops, they also cost roughly the same, as 200k cruor is 519k gil, weakening items are 500k total, and dust is roughly 20k.

    1 Traverser Stone was originally worth 30 minutes in abyssea, 1 Voidstone is used to start a VW fight that lasts upto 30 minutes. Also original time for you to get another was 20 hours for both, and with certain KIs it was lowered by 4 hours for each.

    KIs can be bought with cruor and these will not drop from NMs, however there are KIs that drop from NMs only. Atma is also gotten from some NMs, but not all, many will drop both, and some will drop only one of the 2.

    Both award the player with temps, abysseas temps are mainly gotten from T5 Blue chests via Azure light. VW temps are gotten from procing the NM.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is all I can think of at the moment, I feel as if I'm missing more though. It just came to mind how much VW has copied Abyssea, but changed the most important thing in abyssea. The fact Effort=Reward. I have also never seen anyone say or list the amount of similaritys between them, which is stupidly high. Now I cant even look at VW and think of it as original content that just sucks, now I get to blame the fact its the sequel to abyssea, and just didn't live up to the name of its original.
