When will we see these again?

When will we see the Shadow Eaters and when can I smack one in the face with my Axe?

I had completely forgotten about these as it has been so long since I had finished the storyline so far, but they look pretty menacing and would be a welcome change from dodo's, puk's and sheep.

Do you think they have something to do with the deaspected crystals and the turn of events we may see in the near future?

Need to fix the links.

I would like to see them again, yes.

I had been wondering when they may make a reappearance as well.

Ascian

It would be so kind if you edit your post adding a spoiler warning...
Anyways, IIRC the correct name for these entities race is Ascian and it's catalogued as "Attackable mob" on YG database.

no, not if Yoshi has anything to do with it. He is really trying to get a hold on targeting and putting Full and light text to everything. Next: Full inventory text will pop out when you have no more space in your inventory.

Time to find a new game, I suppose. When it's time for content addition all mobs will return. FFXI you fight every mob present in the game's files, so the only reason XIV wouldn't do this is if they're that adamant on trying to not be like FFXI.

I highly doubt we will see those guys. If we were to see them again then they wouldve appeared again in the story somehow. Also like LoLo said the Dev team is set on making this a visual experience not a game playing one.

Again, prove that XI doesn't use every monster they've created for it because their previous 2 MMOs kind of proves that's a false statement to say "we won't see something again", especially FF wise which is known for reusing monsters.

They not only do not use all mobs in the dats, but they do not use whole areas in the dats. There are areas that you can only visit if you do a mission with it in there. Like the Market Wards, and several islands that you only visit during missions. This game is in a poor state. I can't believe they have created stuff that you can never again visit, unless you are on a mission that requires the area.

Pay attention to the numbers please... Jennestia was answering a point about Eleven, Lolo responded regarding Fourteen.

They are asking why is it that in FFXI players can fight all mobs in the dats while in FFXIV that isn't the case. My comment makes perfect sense. You are kind of confused.. Since this whole thread is about why we can not fight the hooded mobs from a mission currently active in the game.

They could make for an interesting boss fight for sure. :)

Have you read Jennestia's previous posts? You have not demonstrated that FFXI didn't use all the mobs in the .dat, which was the question that was asked.

They are behind in content release, due to reworking the game's foundations. The story segment made it clear that the Ascians had a part to play in the story later on. Jennestia's point was that once content starts coming in the mobs in the .dats will certainly become available to fight.

The whole point wasn't about me proving anything. I went back to the state of FFXIV and how they only use areas and mobs for missions right now. If you want to answer that, you are free to do that.

There's no question there, but your point has already been addressed.
Anything that's not already in this thread is pure speculation. SE has the mob in the .dats, so it will at some point be used, as demonstrated in SE's previous MMOs.

I won't get excited. May time people have predicted this or that will make it into the game. Where are we now?
