FFXI crossover event comming to FFXIV

[detlef]

I would say it mirrors dynamis a lot. I think they added it because a bunch of FFXI players wanted an event like this were you go around and kill trash mobs for a couple hours and collect random loot. Most of the loot is pure junk you have to get really lucky to get a drop that has any decent stats think Diablo 3. The better content in the patch is King Thoradan and alex savage from the previous patch.

I have a hard time imagining players requesting something like this. You'd think that they'd know better from experience how horrible old school Dynamis was. Anyway, GF seems to enjoy it for now but she's resigned herself to not getting anything she actually wants and all but admitted that the only thing that really mattered to her was that Pegasus mount. Unfortunately her group is stuck on Thoradin and A3 so it remains to be seen what it'll take for them to break through on those two.

If it sounds like I'm being critical, I do have an overall negative opinion but it's going to be a part of my life regardless so I try to understand. I just feel that the game is just memorization, DPS checks, glamour, and mounts. And daily/weekly caps.

I want the Pegasus mount too because I am a mount collector halfway toward getting it at the moment. Personally I don't find the zone fun, but I do find savage alex and extreme fights really fun. The zone also makes money in that its like the only good source of tier 5 materia which sells for millions, and offers high level craft items. I know some people in few my LS they spend all day doing this zone because they want more gil. SE already said they are going to let you put materia in your raid/tome gear in the next patch so I am sure this will be farmed even more for Tier 5 materia if you want to be the best of the best next patch.

I am going to farm extra coins from the zone too because I have a prediction that the new relics that come out in the next mini patch will somehow use them. If not I can always buy materia with those coins.
