- Lost in Translation: All text during the first 1/4 of the fight is in Japanese, unless all party members are wearing a subligar.
- Flavor of the month: Can only take damage from 1 of the 3 types of damage (Ranged, Melee, or Magic). Completely immune to the other 2 forms of damage until ability is used again.
- For whom the bell tolls: AoE Doom that hits the entire party. 10 second countdown. To remove the doom effect, a player must hit a bell like the ones we had for the initial Christmas and new years events.
- Materia Cluster Fu-I mean Geyser: AoE damage and knockback. 85% chance to put a random piece of gear to 0% durability. Can be dodged by running out of range.
- Delay Patch: Has a small chance of happening below 10% HP. Antecedent Doblyn King despawns and a message appears in say: "Sorry for the inconvenience" .
- Server Lag: Sometimes players get hit with abilities regardless of if they did what they were supposed to in order to dodge it in time.

Reading this thread made me realize how stale FFXIV fights are. Pretty much every move boils down to AOE or enfeebling.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...EGoM #t=01m54s this is what a boss fight should be like. -

I want Absolute Virtue that way this game will really be the true FFXI-clone that we all want it to be.
Sarcasm aside, I want Gilgamesh. I don't need any other FF anything in this game. Just give me Gilgamesh. Not that terrible FFXI pirate either. I want the glorious incarnation from FF5/12/Type-0. -
03-20-2012, 04:05 AMMajidahIt isn't. The guy makes it look a lot easier than it is, because he's a god. Even so, that fight isn't one of the hardest ones. There are ones like this and this.Quote:

I really don't see anything spectacular in those boss fights, spider was kinda cool, but isn't much different than a normal MMO battle, 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 is not the same as 8 on 1 the dynamics are tuned to specific roles in an mmo, its not good if a spider like that is running around raping your healers.
Maybe some day From software will make an MMO though.
Tera has very active boss fights like that and that's because the battle system is action based, maybe give that a try.
