So... That Morbol...

Right, I could be completely wrong about this so sorry if I am and this is all a bit pointless but...

From what I understand/from what I've heard, there used to be a Morbol skulking about in Central Black Shroud when the game was first launched. It was then later removed when people were getting angry about it roflpwning them whenever they came across it. :rolleyes:

So, with the introduction of a stealth skill for gatherers so that they can safely navigate dangerous areas, has there been any thought into putting the Morbol back, possibly at a lower level (from what the wiki tells me it was level 70 which seems a tad extreme for a lowbie zone) or perhaps in a different location (maybe East Black Shroud where the enemies are around rank 30-40ish)? :confused:

Just wondering 'cos I like Morbols/Malboros and I wish I could see one close-up in FFXIV, since I missed my chance at launch.

I've seen free roaming morbols near the higher ranked aetheryte gates in the Black Shroud area when I was running around grabbing gates. So yeah... they should still be around.

Have some pics here.

IMO the best / scariest / strongest looking Malbaro so far in the FF series.

You can find them at snakebolt aerythe gates.

Those pics are awesome, thanks ^.^

And yeah, they are pretty scary looking o.o'

I'll have to track one down one day then... preferably when I'm a high enough rank in something that he won't kill me on sight.

Actually, if for some reason I were to feel I needed to gripe about them it'd be that they aren't at the same kind of scale as other FF games, they used to be huuuuuge.

Maybe SE could put in an NM version that was bigger than normal ones? :D

Molbols (sp?) scare me.

FFX, second and third deaths attributed to Molbols.

FF4... thank you Molbol, for I think I recall you casting Charm on Rydia, making her turn around, and unleashing Bahamut on our party for 9,999 damage. Thank you...

edit: wait, fished my memories and it turns out it was a lamia-like creature in the cave from Eblan to the Tower of Bab-il that cast charm on me. I don't remember why I was in that cave after Bahamut.

For some reason they have multiple spellings.

I always wrote it as Marlboro but that's a cigarette brand, but they're also spelled as Molbol, Morbol and Malboro.

Malboro Wiki Page

I kinda miss the Pieste that would randomly appear at Uldah's gate.

It was only r35!!! PUT HIM BACK!! ; ;

Miss that specific morbol. used to haunt r20 leves i believe

That Morbol around Tranquil was hilarious. I'm sad to see it gone :(

You can find the morbol from the opening cutscene in the river, if you head towards mor dhona from gridania.

and ya i remember that morbol when i first ran into it, it scared the crap out of me

I miss that pieste in Ul'dah that would sit in front of the entrance for no specific reason other than to kill everything on sight.

King Morbol one shot me once, true story.

I feel like this thread really accomplished something.

I remember that Morbol... I only ever died by it once and that was just as I finished a leve so I rushed to attack it :)

We should have high level aggro mobs just outside the city gates for ps3 release "Welcome to FFXIV, wanna know what your in for???" *BAM oneshot* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LOL! cruel, but also quite funny at the same time. all the PC players would be standing just shy of the gate watching the PS3 players go charging out the gate going "yaaaay!" then be all like "what the fu~~" *BOOOOOOOOOM!*

Indeed, a simple question that turned into a positive thread about remembering fun/silly things they've experienced in the game since launch. Nice when that happens ^.^

Yeah that thing definitely has killed me during my exploring. I'd like to go hunt him down, thanks for reminding me about him :)

They've got that cat thing being added in 1.19, Caole wasn't it? (Such weird spelling x3) Can't wait for Tonberrys to be added, be interesting to see how they're gonna act though XD

Can still see morbols in Lynxpelt Patch and Verdant Drop, near Camp Nine Ivies.

Lol XD

Yeah, all our GC's need to do is hire an army of Tonberries and send them into Garlean territory. Problem solved :D

@Alicia: I was running around Camp Nine Ivies the other day to do a main quest. Glad I didn't come across a Molbol then, I'd have choked on my cigarette! XD

Last one I seen was weeks ago on my way to Mor Dhona from The Black Shroud area, it was lvl 84 then ran to a pack of salamanders lol.

we do need more of the FF series iconic mobs back in the game,

molboros
tonberries
cuoerl
behemoth
REAL dragons not piest degenerates
Adamantaimai
Christopher
Dark Dragon
Armadodo

Ah, I haven't been to darkhold yet so I dunno what to expect from it yet.

That being said I still haven't been in toto-rak either XD

I need to catch up with my LS ; ;

Is it really that cruel? I would be standing there all day on ps3 release to see it.

Hmmm if they add Tonberrys like they did on ffxi, imma get oneshotted so many times, it was quite funny after 3yrs on ffxi not resetting tonberry hate, I go to fight a Tonberry NM and get hit by Everyones Rancor for anout 15k dmg.

Please add shared mob hate like that, its so much fun when you dont reset it, also only soft ppl reset hate :)

I find Toto-Rak a very refreshing time, even though I tend to run through it at R50. Where Darkhold is frustrating with the wrong party set up, or people who have not had the time to become proficient at playing their character. Darkhold was certainly designed differently than Tot-Rak was.

I'm hoping for a dungeon with a Great King Morbol as the boss, especially if his Bad Breath attack causes as many status ailments as they normally do.

That'd be one tough cookie.
