Hell yes, take my money.

Speed up or not,
Back to time with FF11 Notorious monsters lol

18 ppl waiting 72 hours for a NM, kill it and .....
cross finger for a drop (3% chance of drop) .....
then roll and best luck to all ....

No hell no, i prefer grinding fates or going back to dungeon level 15 100 times XD

I mean, as it stands right now, even working full time I can complete each Relic step within 10 days tops, so I agree. I'd rather farm mind numbing content on my own time than have anything tied to a 72hr spawn a select group of people will zerg down and get, at hours I will likely be at work.

Perhaps a hagoromo could be nice...

72 hours. Koji Fox only gave that as an example. I imagine spawn times will vary as will rewards.

Probably just be a much much harder 72 hour fate or hunt type thing where we can all zerg it down to get loot, since more than 18 people can attack a mob in this game.

At most you will need to actual know the mechanics and come with a party to live, but if it's open world everyone is gonna have a chance at the loot. So really wouldn't worry about it. And we already have some fates that are 36-48 timers, odin/ultima/coregula. Not much difference

Disappointing that they don't care about Western audiences enough to give us even one non-cute race.

Interested in learning more about Ala Mhigo. That and the inventory expansion are pretty much the two things I'm looking forward to at this point.

Oh and dropping PS3 support, as that means they won't have the stupid "not enough memory" excuse to fall back on.

Woops, that should be 72 hour timers.

But I would not be surprised if the long spawn NM are tuned for 3 24 person alliances. Kinda like how the Brachiosaur in diadem is designed for that.

I keep seeing people saying this zone is akin to something from FFXI. I never played XI, were relics able to be completed without having to do this stuff?
