    Monstrosity is incredible

    I just discovered this like 2 nights ago and have been having a great time ever since.^^ Not to mention the screenshots I get to make my friends jealous with, and getting newbies to chase me around the city gates :D I know it's not fully fleshed out yet but that just adds more to look forward to! Cheers to all those on the XI team

    YES. Double EXP and new species + skins at least. And add partying for monipulators!!! At least duos.

    Maybe even allow us to get NM bonuses outside of belligerency.

    Monstrosity is unique in that it's extremely fun even without giving practical rewards. Even though I can't use Cerberus outside of monstrosity, unlocking Cerberus is one of the most memorable and awesome moments I've had in FFXI. Walking around, so gigantic, so powerful, it was awesome.

    I think it's kind of like what made Pokemon addictive as a kid, but in Monstrosity, you actually get to directly control the monsters, and you have to play as them to earn more, so it's not just collecting sprites and adding them to a list like in Pokemon. You actually use the monsters and get to experience moving as them, fighting as them, growing as them.

    Arguably one of the biggest draws to the Final Fantasy series as a whole is how interesting and iconic a lot of the enemy types and bosses are, but no matter what the game, you only ever interact with them by summoning them or curbstombing them for delicious loot and EXP. Monstrosity is not just a neat and different idea, this is the first time someone opened the door to the idea of switching sides, being able to live the life of the cool enemies and bosses, and letting monsters be more than just loot pinatas.

    If you told me back in FF VII I could BE the Midgar Zolom, or in VIII that I could BE XATM092, I wouldn't have believed you for one, and two, I wouldn't have a head anymore because it would have exploded from sheer awesomeness. Monstrosity is one the coolest things to ever happen in the entire FF series let alone XI and thankfully, so far it's one of the few things in this game that doesn't exist as another shameless, soulless gear grind, (although the devs could put a bit more effort into creating appealing yet non-important trinkets to lure in Gladiators with so that Monipulators can have something fun to eat for a change).

    I just wish the devs would spend more time on it and realize that no, level grinding is not proper content and no, switching species doesn't reset the boringness of grinding past level 50 for the thousandth time like it does the EXP bar.

    Seasonally, October would be the perfect month for a Monstrosity extravaganza. (Not to mention some jack o'lanterns for our Mog Garden)
    Bring on the arcana, demon and undead families!
    Give us access to more areas! (like all or most of the RoE conquest areas) Large MONs need some love especially.
    Double XP events!
    More Belligerency areas! I don't want to be stuck in Uleguerand Range from ~54-99 in order to take advantage of extra RoEs.
    Partying!

    Hmm. Well the POL page for Monstrosity says cooperative play is on their schedule (really looking forward to that!)... but how long has it been since its had an update?

    I enjoy this content, give me a reason to do it... I want real main-character rewards from monstrosity. Otherwise I just feel like... "Welllll.... I should really be doing dynamis" etc

    Also parties and perhaps quests plz.

    I don't think it's had one in at least 6 or so months sadly. I hope I'm wrong about that, but I don't think I am. Party play was brought up not long after release, and it's release was more than a year ago, and since we've had no news on anything Monstrosity related in quite a while it's getting quite disheartening.

    Cackling into the night while you stomp those lesser, smaller monsters into the ground isn't enough?

    More seriously... I think I like this more than playing my main character. :D Now if only I could be a black mage rabbit or white mage roc full time...
