New 2.1 Content Semi-Revealed

In the new letter from the developer set up (advertising for the 22nd), the following was said:

Themes Enjoy a first glimpse of patch 2.1! Ascend the Crystal Tower and take a tour of Pharos Sirius via never-before-seen footage of these two new dungeons.

Bear witness to the ferocity of Extreme Mode Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan, as well as the arrival of Good King Moggle Mog XII.

The tenth letter LIVE will also introduce new features including duty roulette, the aesthetician, hard mode dungeons, and a hard mode encounter with a memorable foe from the main scenario.

Anyone want to guess who the hard mode foe is? Gaius? Ultima Weapon? Also, any idea what the Pharos Sirius dungeon will be like?


I'm aware of the "2.1 delayed" existing thread, but this is more about what you think about the content, not if the content is going to be delayed. :)

Ultima. Obviously.

My money's on gaius or that other guy before him in praetorium.

Ultima or Labrea (however you spell his name..) are my guesses.. given Darnus HM from 1.0 some variant on Ultima would seem likely, I can't think of any other overly memorable stuff aside from the dragon in Brayflox.

Some reddit people are guessing Siren (the one you had to briefly fight for a quest). That'd actually be pretty cool.

HM Cape Westerwind. =P

I'd love to fight a proper version of Siren. That battle was such a joke, honestly :/

Not as much as the final boss battle, but still pretty bad...

I doubt it's Siren since she wasn't a memorable foe. My guess would be the one badguy who escaped in Praetorium.

Or, y'know, hard mode Odin and/or Behemoth!

JK. That'd just be sad.
