Proposal about NM's from FFXI

I propose that they bring Jaggedy-Eared Jack, Leaping Lizzy, and Spiny Spipi from FFXI to FFXIV in some way. Maybe as lvl 20 NM's? Or, for a fun quest? Perhaps as summons? Or, as mounts?

I think it would be fun to see those classic NM's around. I almost had a heart attack the first time I spotted JeJ. I would have fun with any content that involved him or the other NM's I mentioned. Like this post if you would too!

those nm's are about as classic as new coke.

No, not really.

As long as they aren't camped 24/7 by people who can see them spawn, target and attack 2 seconds before you can then I am all for it. God I hated that in FFXI when I played.

You forgot Bubbly Bernie.

Are there "Notorious Monsters" in any earlier FF titles that I am missing genius? Your'e comment is about as useful as new coke.

you did miss his comment due to the fact that those aren't classic nm's classic meaning they aren't almost older than dirt and they weren't really of high standard nms. and no there are no nm's in any of the games besides XI and XIV. Honestly, I'd rather not see them at all we have our own set of nm's already and those are good enough for me.

Yeah! I remember him. It would be neat to have him as a mount.

What was the flys name that you got the hairpin... Well farmers got the hairpin and I had to spend a ridiculous amount of Gil for when it was the must have thief accessory

It started with a V and was in Valkurm Dunes... the Valkurm Emperor

Or we could just have all-new nms for ff14 and leave ff11 alone :)

The OP is just trying to be nostalgic. It wouldn't bother me to see them I would actually think it was pretty cool.

We have exactly that kind of NM, bunch of reskinned NMs with funny naming.

Their were 2 flies orginally. Valkurn Empress and Valkurn Emporer.

I camped LL, VE, and JeJ for months on and off without any drops. Then, one day I got the boots, the hairpin, and the necklace all in a row. The odds of that had to be like 1/10,000 and it felt like the luckiest day of my life.

I almost miss it cause we would all be chatting while waiting but I hated it cause if even one player in Asia was campin it then they auto got the tap cause of the server lag. Did they ever fix it? Stopped playing like 13 years ago... You know level 50 cap. 4 hours of shouts for a party. Only beast master could solo past level 10 (damn those hard hitting dunes rabbits)

Yes, VE was fun to camp occasionally. I liked to camp there when there was some--but not too much--competition lol. I would go thf/rng and use rng map, flee, and darts to claim VE. I think that competition slowed down to a more tolerable rate after a few years. Knowing how to find the place holder and having thf/rng with darts helped alot.

Bring them all back! Sick of crafting being the only means of making money. That goes for mining fishing and botany. I know there are people who hate camping, but there are a also people who love it. I know gill sellers were a pain, and until SE puts their foot down, they will continue to be here whether they are fish botting or claim botting. NM's became part of FFXI's identity, and I vote should stay.

Yep, I loved camping NM's/HNM's and my thf/rng was my favorite job made specifically for that and chest/coffer hunting (bring back more chest/coffer hunting!). I enjoyed the competition. HNM camping got a bit nasty at times, but NM camping was, usually, friendly competition. Many people dislike NM/HNM camping, but, I think, they were the ones that did not get the claim/drop. sorry :/

That was what I used my thf/rng for. Pld and rdm for groups till they figured out the nin tanking thing. Man nin was expensive back then. There was another one I camped a lot. Again it has been 13 years so I couldn't tell you the name but it was the birdman one (again 13years) think it had a staff or something that sold high for casters
