I'm wondering how large the maws are going to be. Considering the one in IX was MASSIVE.

Behemoths, I'd imagine. They keep popping up in the 2.0 trailers.

Had the game become stagnant with nothing new added my FFXI subscription wouldn't still be active.

Have you seen the trailer, is specifically shows Dalamud hitting, and it says how the only way we survive is being sent through time to wait, then we come back.

Also Zumi, the maws weren't just in Abyssea, they were in the past as well, looking exactly the same, this does not mean Abyssea will come to FFXIV, if it does I know a lot of people will quit. Atomos looks very similar to all the other Atomos incarnations, with some differences as he evolved so to speak.

Also for anyone who doesn't know Atomos is a gravity type mob/summon/whatever which is why he can suck people into his huge mouth, and in FFXI he had the ability to move you through time, if there was a linked maw, working just like wormholes.

EDIT: Stop calling Atomos a Carvernous Maw that was just FFXI, some people need education on FF games it looks like. Atomos is Atomos just like in all other games.

You're wrong, but let's not get into that here.

Look at it its a copy paste job from the FFXI cavernous maws. Giving how much people loved abysssea in FFXI they could bring the same system to FFXIV.

---

Copy Paste.. damn...

SE should stop letting their Mobs looks similiar to their previous alter-ego's. /sarcasm off.

What i'm more curious about.. he's popping in certain Zone's... weather effect's changes... Is he actually fightable? or will be? And what is that new item for from Alchemist Recipe.. i wanna experience.. NOW! D:

Why do people associate the maw from being part of Abyssea? My memory betrays me, but weren't they introduced FIRST in the Wings of the Goddess expansion and were implemented as a means to go back in time?

Almost everyone I talked to on my LS in FFXI say the game is better now then pre 75 where everything was so hard to organize groups for and had crap drop rates. Abyssea let you gear up in a decent amount of time.

Fixed for you. This Atomos is not a maw, yes it looks like them from FFXI, but its only in FFXI they were refered to as carvenous maws. Atomos was around and looked very similar to this Atomos, that make FF9 Atomos a maw, and all the others?

Yea they were introduced as a way to go to the past [S] areas. However they also became the entry way to Abyssea which is a major part of FFXI endgame for the past couple years. People used the maws for abyssea in FFXI on a daily basis so that is what comes to mind.

Atomos goes all the way back to FF5 if you wanna be technical about it. :P

Actually, in the trailer it seems like something emerges from Dalamud, like some sort of bridge. It doesn't exactly collide at all, at least not in its entirety.

I would have to agree with you on Atomos though, I do not remember Cavernous Maws being linked to Atomos aside from the design. Though I wish the dev team would have remodeled Atomos altogether instead of using the FFXI rip and having everyone go nuts and saying Abyssea is here. xD Besides, weren't Cavernous Maws introduced in WotG? Not Abyssea? O-o

Well any 75 content basically got erased. The 99 cap broke ffxi its neck.

I know, all jobs lvl 99 in 2 weeks (less actually) all geared in no time, Abyssea is just easy mode, give me a good old Dynamis where one wrong move would wipe a linkshell, or (in the case of windy) one wrong move meant the rest of the run was almost impossible any day over "Lets duo this with a WAR and WHM" and the awesome "You can't proc GTFO and level something useful" yeah loads better when my SCH and DRG struggled to get into fights just cos they couldn't proc as well as other jobs, and oh yeah "we only want as many jobs as we need so there's less competition." so much better.

I did all of WotG missions and yes the maws were linked to atomos in FFXI. They used it as a way to take players to another time, reality, dimension whatever you want to call it.

I used the term on accident.

I'm not saying Atomos is a maw. I'm pretty darn sure if they created a different model, people wouldn't associate this Atomos as a reference to Abyssea.

Yes they were. They were portals through time.

I'm glad to see them for those of us who remember Wings of the Goddess it's a familiar way to warp us somewhere safe while Armageddon wipes the slate... :p

Yes they were, but no one remembers that useless content, FFXI = Final Fantasy Abyssea now.

i agree with you what if they included legion in realm reboron where you fough hnm after hnm like lets say ifrit then garuda then moogle the the gc end boss and then then the new hard bosses ect
either way they will make it so no endgamer will cry

Wrong about what? I don't think they're wrong about anything at all. Why on earth would anyone be upset that they now have access to new gear to work towards that is superior to their old gear? That's how these games work after all, isn't it?

My english is a bit bad, and i can't understand something correctly, so please help me ^^.

Completing the sidequest "Living on a Prayer" unlocks both "Rivenroad" and "Rivenroad (Hard)" repeatable battles. Please note, however, that no further reward will be issued for completing the former.

---

This mean that the reward from the hard and the normal one will be the same or what?

I think you just get the reward once, if you drop it or lose it, you cannot get it again. I am pretty sure the rewards are different for each difficulty. :)

They mean that only "Rivenroad (hard)" will reward you with something.
The regular one doesn't.

Former means the first thing they mentioned
Latter means the last thing. Just a quick education

I'd assume that the to-be-introduced quest "Monster of Maw Most Massive" will probably involve Atomos, and so they could actually be referred to as "Maws" as a nickname they'd be given like in this title. It could be about something else entirely, but familiarity in names is something that's likely to have happened here (that added nostalgic feel and so on). It's not exactly unheard of.

It means that the Rivenroad fight (the normal difficulty one) will not have any reward for beating it multiple times. You only get the reward for it once.

Sounds like you get a one-time drop from a normal version. Kinda like once you finish the normal mode of Ifrit fight there's no point in going back and doing it.

Am I the only one unimpressed? The regen/refresh rate needs to be pretty decent for these earrings to be truly worthwhile.

---

Nah, I'm feeling the same way. I just can't see myself giving up my stonewall earrings for this. Now, the crown on the other hand...I'm very interested in seeing that. Curious as to what the stats are.

Not sure if you're just being facetious or not, but we already have plenty for that. Goobbue, legacy, legacy chocobo, possibly primal weps. Sure there's more, that's just off the top of my head.

when you think about it..

"A realm reborn"
"A realm"
"realm"

...Atomos will take us to a new realm

My linkshell refused to believe me when I told them I was in walk mode and got mauled by trees anyway. ;P

Now I have proof.

"An issue wherein players with Walking Mode switched to "Walk" would still be detected by sound-sensitive enemies."

I dont get why they'd have an easy mode in the first place then if you get no reward :P Just skip that and do hard mode.

---

75 was the cap for many years. Seeing the years worth of work get replace so easily is depressing. It's like Vannilla WoW to BC, your gear was good still if you did endgame, but eventually your purples get replaced by blues, if not GREENS. BC to LK was the worst, though. Unless you had t6 gear, or sunwell gear, the first greens were immediate upgrades.

Thats why the whole "Gearing up to be better is what this is about right?" mindset is wrong. People have worked harded for the 75 year. When it became useless.. people were bothered.

This makes more sense, exactly how i said. There would be no reason for an easy mode and a hard mode if there were no rewards for the easier mode.
