Fenrir is a dungeon boss. Oh o. Not a lot people are going to be pleased with that.

Wow! cool to see Fenrir will be in game, though kinda disappointing to see that he's been reduced to a duty boss.

As someone who can't read Japanese all I can say is: "Fenrir!? And the Abominable Snowman!? AWESOME!"

And is that Antlion as boss for Sastasha HM?

I'm more concerned over the Headcrab pirates surrounding the big bat headed pirate captain.

Just because Fenrir, Siren and Diabolos are in dungeons doesn't mean they can't be used again. Ultima Weapon is a good example of one that was.

Got to say this seems to be the worst patch since the launch, only nin saves it from being just a minor patch.
As far as we know it only includes 3 dungeons, 1 primal, coil end, and nin, every past patch brought a new feature to make the game feel different and new for the next month, this one only adds more grind, it feels a bit lackluster... but well, there are 1 and may be 2 LL before the implementation, they may be saving something good for the first fan fest... -
10-06-2014, 08:56 PMAtomnium+1, myself included :x, after Siren then Diabolos now Fenrir reduced to a weak dungeon boss............................................Quote:

I know a lot of people who are going to get set off regarding Fenrir.
-
10-06-2014, 09:21 PMmelflomil
Going to be optimistic and say Fenrir will probably be the toughest dungeon boss we have ever had. Just by the fact that ST will have no lockouts. Free sands anyone? Sol will be uncapped as well. Average ilvl will be 105
-
10-06-2014, 09:29 PMTheMunimaiIm really hoping they bring back some difficulty to the game.Quote:

Hopefully with the lockout being removed from ST, they up the difficulty with the new stuff. -
10-06-2014, 09:41 PMLord_ZlatanI really can't agree more with this, and the post above yours as well.Quote:

Ramuh Ex is pretty difficult with a PUG but with a good group or with ur FC its just another boss.
I also understand that Yoshi cares a lot for the newer players and he is also satisfying the raiders with coil3, but what about the rest of us "middling" players? I find it insulting that ST is considered challenging content for tier 2 stuff (anything not coil and not a normal dungeon). Hullbreaker Isle, Tam Tara, and stone vigil are easily doable with 3 people. No challenge at all.
I love the game and still log in everyday because it is fun for me, but at the same time, if I die its usually just a derp and not because something challenign caused me to fail. -
10-06-2014, 09:45 PMTupsiIt does mean that technically. They can be used again but for what purpose? They're originally summons - in XIV would make them Primals. Which primals were used as dungeon boss before becoming a primal fight? Ultima is a good example simply because it's TECHNICALLY a primal as well and didn't have a proper fight. Omega will likely get the same treatment.Quote:

Speaking of Ninja and Yugiri .. is this just a normal mi'qote tail or is this man from the same race as Yugiri's?

10-06-2014, 10:00 PMVelhartIt sounds the same as every major patch, except we have a whole new class/job. So technically it is better.Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:06 PMmelflomil
Getting off the topic of Fenrir.
I see some new hairstyles and I love the rouge outfit. Especially the the shirt and pants. I hope this isn't only restricted to DOW classes -
10-06-2014, 10:09 PMTheMunimaiI too like the armour Rogue is displayed in!! I really hope we can get our hands on it, and its not just for show!! :)Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:13 PMTheMunimaiAhh yes, I remember them mentioning that reveals were to be happening at some point .. I know no other jobs are meant to be implemented into the game until the first expansion - but I'd still like to know what they are :)Quote:

I, for one, am excited to have the chance to fight Davey Jones. That Disney collaboration stuff is killer.
PART OF THE CREW, PART OF THE SHIP -
10-06-2014, 10:16 PMAshgarthThe thing is, until now classes (wich the rogue is) dont have a distinc AF style gear set.Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:20 PMlololinkThey all have actually, they more or less wear uniforms most of the time. But i guess they wanted to give more personality to the rogues since they could, and that they kinda replace the thieves.Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:29 PMKaiKatzchenI don't remember him saying that, exactly. I do remember him saying Gunner and Rogue are coming out soon that you think, please look forward to it. And then I remember him saying, to some who were asking about another healer and tank type, that he was considering it, but they would not be out until the new expansion at the earliest. But then again Gunner is a class, not a job. :)Quote:

For all we know it's at the same place as rogue/ninja but they wanted to save an announcement for the Fan Fest, and this gunner has been long awaited by many people. But, with that said... I'd just be happy to have it finally announced, seeing I've been waiting for it since 2010. -
10-06-2014, 10:44 PMLeonesaurusThe ultimate surprise: They reveal that Musketeer is coming out in 2.4 alongside Ninja and Rogue and no one sees it coming. That would be much sooner than we thought. They did that to us with Scholar and surprised the hell out of us, if anyone still remembers.Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:54 PMFelisGear that you can only clamour as a class and not as a job? If you mean class explicit gear.Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:55 PMRenikWell you may have no interest in certain content, but since the launch they have released housing, dailies, treasure maps, wolves den, frontlines, hunts, riddles, chocobo stables, gardening, vanity... content to enhance and diversify our playtime, but this patch only brings the essential, dungeons, trial and raid, the common denominator of every patch, and a class, that may be new, but it's not new content.Quote:

10-06-2014, 10:56 PMKaiKatzchenHeehee, honestly that would be wonderful and I'd love to see it. I don't know if they will still call it Musketeer, but yes yes~! Limsa will be really busy then with Rogue and Gunner. :)Quote:

10-06-2014, 11:01 PMTiamat
So no signs of the Gold Saucer making it in this patch?
-
10-06-2014, 11:02 PMTheMunimaiI've been secretly hoping that they've kept it all hush hush and quiet, and that they will release it alongside rogue and ninja - we can hope!!!Quote:
