Hydatos - An Anticlimactic Ending

/topic

Weapon skins suck, zone is tiny and uninteresting compared to pagos/pyros, afaik the only reward for doing the “ultra-hard” dungeon is a mount...

All my opinions of course, but I’m rather underwhelmed.

Thoughts?

Careful, someone may report you for having a different opinion lol. Personally feels more like Pagos, which is not a good thing. Then again, only level 54 so. Still have that instance which is hopefully where the grit of this instance went.

The zone being tiny might not be a bad thing. If you think about it, there were a large number of mobs that no one touched (unless they agro'd a player and the player could fight them) occupying a large amount of space. Maybe the smaller size will also mean less "filler" mobs. It would be nice if every mob group help you in your progression.

I think I’m the most annoyed about the weapon skins. Granted I haven’t seen them fully animated, but they don’t have that fullness that I was hoping for (see: Lux).

Weapons look pretty bad is comparison to past relics imo. I'm especially disappointed by the PLD relic. Not sure how but they actually made it look worse each step along its developmental path.

I think the Healer and Caster Relics look good. I'm not really a fan of the effect, but then again I don't really care for the glowy weapons personally, they tend to detract from the design of the weapon itself, which is usually why i choose a weapon. The designs aren't bad though.

Agree with this 100%. Square Enix has been lazy with relic and the relics for this expansion has been a total disaster. All these relics look extremely bad. Except maybe the blackmage relic and wtf happened with the Red Mage/Samurai relic? wtf was that?

But I love my Sch relic, the wings flap!

tell me why no wings in my SMN book... i cant even tell tge difference between SCH and SMN... and what the hell did they do to PLD sword design!?

The DRG lance looks like a lobster fork. It doesn’t look imposing at all.
