I think it would have been better if all ground only mounts had a sprint ability so that they stand out from flight mounts.

I can't agree with this more; Titan and Thordan (EX, specifically) were fun and amazingly well made encounters. Both were difficult, one admittedly more than the other, yet they were completely fair.

... So long as you had a stable internet connection.

I know there are a lot of silly things about this game but... i have my limits.

That guy reminds me of "Doom", one of the warring triad bosses from Final Fantasy 6. He has the same arms, same skin color, and nearly the same overall design.

That's probably because it is. Already been confirmed in the last live letter. xD

Well the boss is meant to be a reference to Fiend/Doom, and he is part of the Warring Triad in FFXIV. :p His base model is very similar to Ravana though, except with another two arms.

I suspect that they and Phantom Ray all use a modified version of the frame created for the eight-armed version of Gilgamesh used in Battle in the Big Keep.

I was going to mention that but I didn't want someone to jump on me and go all "But this part of the model is different! You're not accusing SE of anything bad, are you?!" and so on. I am getting somewhat sick of that model at this point though...

Yeah, the fight is designed by the same guy who did Thordan, and Titan.

So with that said, prepare to get knocked off - in some way.

Because Ravana and Bismarck didn't have that, nope.

Totally original.

Kinda feels like potential ring-out encounters are the only sort of fights they know how to make anymore.

You know, as much as I dislike Alexander, A4 has probably been the most interesting encounter we've got in a long time, and even then they wasted the potential there...

Those vents, why can't we get more of that? Ring after ring after ring... OK they occasionally make the environment interesting, but every encounter is still just a bleedin' ring... Can't we get a Trial encounter which is more like a small dungeon? Something similar to Battle in the Big Keep, but not as pathetic...

I miss Rivenroad...
