Please make Odin weather appear in Gridania too.

Gridania is part of the Shroud, right? So wouldn't it make sense for something that is effecting the Shroud to also effect Gridania?

I mostly want to see this because I think it would look cool.

I was agreeing with you.. until the last sentence.

It would be good to have major bosses events in towns, to wipe AFK and Gil Sellers for a bit ^^

Lol at the looking cool part XD

But yeah, really wish they could make it happen so, on the off chance I'm aimlessly wandering around Gridania when he pops, I know quicker.

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't be against the idea of him being able to pop inside of Gridania, haha. That could be really cool too!

That would be awesome. I won't lie. As to the OP I agree, it would help some people get into the action faster if they knew he was up while in town.

Do I think "Hopelessness" should pop in Gridania when it pops in the Shroud? Absolutely. But do I think it should spawn Odin in Gridania? Unless it spawns in a large enough area where newbies aren't likely to tread (i.e. the Botanist Guild's farm), then I'd rather it didn't just for their sake of keeping the streets of Gridania clean of the shit-stained trousers of everyone under level 50.

It would be fun. So, not happening. Fun is banned forever from XXI Century gaming. What is sold as "fun" now is boring questing (it's always KILL TEN RATS AND/OR FETCH THEIR TAILS, really), endless grinds, unplayable raids, awful PvP. Some older person like me still wanders more or less aimlessly thru games, looking at pretty pictures and hoping to snatch just a few moments of the fun we used to have in the ol' days of yore, when at least some devs cared. :P

Thank god you're here to tell us how much better things used to be, how else would we know how terrible things are these days? :p.

I'm fairly certain the Conjurers worked very hard on the wards protecting Gridania from the dangers of the forest that surround it. So it really would not make much sense for the Hopelessness to drift into the city state.

Nothing or no one is spared the wrath of Zantetsuken. If Odin really, really wanted to get into Gridania there wouldn't be a problem. :P

As powerful as the Conjurers are, I doubt even they have the power to outmatch an Elder Primal. A regular primal like Ramuh not being enhanced by Ascian artifacts? Sure. But an Elder Primal on par in combat ability with the likes of Bahamut and Belial? Not happening.

If I remember right, during the Odin sidequest everyone from Hearers to Wood Wailers are scared stiff of the Elder Primal attacking Gridania. They outright admit that if Odin wanted to attack the city, there's not really anything they could do to stop him.

Lol, this reminds me of the Atomos event in 1.0, when Atomos and a ton a level 50 mobs would spawn right at Horizon's aetheryte, wiping out all the level 20's trying to get XP. Good times!

I was in a similar event in DCUO. Random Level 30 (the cap in that game) mobs started showing up everywhere, including areas between me and my quest objectives. No idea how many times I got killed just trying to do quests.

Rar, rar, back in my day we walked to school thru 10 feet of snow up hill both ways with our feet wrapped in burlap rags because we couldn't afford shoes. Seriously if you think there is no more fun in the game what are you doing playing?

Probably because Everquest Phantasy Star Online Star Wars Galaxies World of Warcraft City of Heroes Champions Online Age of Conan DC Universe Online Rift Guild Wars 2 Star Wars: The Old Republic stopped being fun.

Okay so you can fight Odin as a crafter? I'll fight him with my magical sewing needle then.

Anyway, if this is made official then Gridania's zone would have to change from rested to the adventuring zones with monsters. You would get the global cooldown everytime you changed in town if Odin was allowed to spawn in the city. That just would be so stupid.

Bah you had it easy, I was a genetically made clone, being chased around by my blond headed psychopath of a brother who for some reason had to over enunciate "sn" sounds and me always being completely lost...Metal gear?

Go for the eyes!

To those that were in early beta you may have remembered a in city monster spawn test. So it is physically possible, and if the whole area is changed to a battle area the rules of reset would go into effect (Your locked in your class/job).

I would prefer something different. While I am rarely in the Shroud and barely ever in Coerthas, I visit Gridania, Ul'dah and La Noscea regularly. Result is, I never get to fight with Behemoth and Odin because I have no clue when they are up. I was once in a linkshell but only heard shouts for Odin, Behemoth FATE up was always unnoticed.

So why not make two special weather conditions in all three capital cities which indicate that Odin or Behemoth are up? Or maybe one weather condition and you have to find out which of the two is up. Downside could be, if too many people go there, the Server will most probably crash lol. I play FF14ARR for almost a Year now and have beaten Odin once. Behemoth I saw two times but it was on the PS3 so it was epic lag fail. I like both fights and they should't be THAT rare.

Try pitting a party of Conjurers against the Odin fate and see how long that works xD

I'm not disagreeing at all, I just thought it was funny because out of all of the reasons the OP had, looking cool was the biggest one.

Sorry if that came across as rude, I wasn't trying to be. I'm actually impressed that someone had the guts to say "I want it because it looks cool." Most of the posts you see on here have long drawn out explanations as to why we should have something a certain way. People tend to forget this is a game, and the most important part of playing a game is enjoying it. So yeah, it does look bada$$, and if that makes you enjoy it more, hell yeah they should add it xD.

I just want them to add in more things like Odin and Behemoth.

They got downright evil with it too further towards the end.. think aggroing elementals, cactaurs, etc. spawning at the heavily RMT-camped aetherytes like Cedarwood

Then there was the level 70+ spawns in towns and all the nael "ghosts".. ah good times ^^

I hope Odin himself appears in Gridania and burns it to the ground like this...

Good question. Problem is I am a bit of game addict, since I started playing with Pong (and had been doing wargames and pen-and-paper RPGs for some years before). I just unsubscribed WoW and uninstalled GW2 and Rift. If I also unsubscribe FF14 I will be gameless, for the first time... like ever.

Said that, there is a limit to the grind and lack of fun I can tolerate. Devs in modern games seem to take particular pains in erasing all the chances of fun, the nice little surprises, any kind of "emergent" gameplay. If a player discovers a little innocent "exploit" to, for example, manage to jump to a place without following the usual path, they immediately hotfix the "anomaly" into oblivion.

I don't really understand why they do that, why they want to kill fun and promote boredom so much. But they do that, in every game.

For now, I'm sticking to FF14, though the gameplay is awful, because the graphics and landscapes are gorgeous, and the music is good. But there will come the moment when I realise that I can look at pretty pictures, and even movies, without paying a monthly fee and performing the same mind-numbing tasks for millions of times (and/or being killed by damn Titan etc. for thousands of times). And then it's goodbye, guys.
