Alright, who wants Sashimi?

Can't wait for this. You know peeps going to make king of the world and I'm on boat jokes. Along with some fishing jokes.

Quest Name Whorl of a Time

Should have been

Quest Name You've got Maelstrom

Leviathan looks soooooooooo badass, just as he should as the King of the Sea!

My only hope is that his music is as awesome as Titan's and Garuda's.

Excited for a new fight, rather than rehashed old fights. Weapons look awesome, any idea what iLv they'll be? Not that it matters with the vanity system coming.

Was hoping for a video when this preview came in, since we got one in the Live Letter. Would be nice to get a taste of the battle theme.

I for one, when this is released, going to make PF and say the following;

Quote:

---

"Hello everyone, This party is going in raw! no youtube videos!, no spoliers! we going in... making mistakes and learning it! Join if you want to have fun!"

---

Tired of every fight being spoiled by "have you watched the video?"

I smell something in the air...... All the gil to be made by selling leviathan extreme... mmmmm! Nothing like easy gil. nomnomnom

Should go like:

"Know the fight, iLvL90+ onry, will queue Coil T9.. don't bother if you have not won"...

xD I would not be surprised to see those pathetic Comments like 2-3 days after release. But yeah, beside that i am seriously excited about the fight, not only the weapons which are hopefully really powerful or finally bring some additional Stats. x_x
