Spotted - Odin

There are two picture, hit next image.

First, he is super tough. He was hitting people for 24k dmg a hit. He was AOE dmg for like 14k. The timer for this FATE is only 15 minutes I think. I'm guessing it's a server boss, and you basically have 15 minutes to get the entire server to him and kill it before he despawns.

Also, casuals were already QQing about how tough he was. We all know once they get to end game this is going to happen. They are already starting with some lower dungeons. We have to fight these people with all out might so FF doesn't become the other 534215345 other MMO's that are faceroll easy.

if the entire server gathered in one place, ps3 users would be f'ed. "oh i'll heal y..wait where did you go?" a place of a thousand+ people looks like a place of about 10-15.

I found some dungeons challenging and utterly satisfying but..weird as it may sound I am terrified of seeing patche notes "adjusting" everything. So many mmo's have done it, and it always ends the same.

you have have "15 minutes" to get the entire server to him and kill it before he kill EVERYONE FIGHTING HIM (zantetsuken) then he despawns

where did you see him at?

i think he shows up in Black Shrouds of Gridania

We beat him on Sargatanas in South Shroud. Got the mantle.

Even on a high end PC I couldn't see everyone there. It was insane.

Very cool!

I honestly hope they keep difficulty around. Too many new MMOs are honestly too easy. And it makes sense for it to be a Server boss if it's coming from a FATE. I look forward to being big enough to experience this stuff and hope the difficulty isn't nerfed before then.

what do u get from beating him? just tons of exp and cash?

I don't particularly see the challenge in having a boss hit you for 24k. All that is is a boss that you throw bodies at. If it were anything that required any kind of skill it would be something that could be legitimately tanked.

Behemoth seems like the same kind of zerg.

I already saw him. He's a Duskwight. I got killed quite a few times to get right in his face to see what he looked like. Also, in regards to PS3, I saw about 40 people prior to me starting to record my video. Then most of them ran off because he kept killing them. It was fun to watch them drop like flies, though.

And if you're lucky, you may sometimes see Odin for like half a second http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...es/biggrin.png...

You do realize "challenge" is subjective and pretty much every challenging thing in any MMORPG ever falls into the category of either "able to instantly kill you" or "some weird ass gimmick", right?

Personally, I wouldn't mind more "wierd ass gimmicks." Something along the lines of, performing such and such action causes the boss to reveal a weak point for 5 seconds allowing damage dealers to target it for 2x damage, more platformer'esk play. =)

I'd like to see crazy gimmicks like "need to deal damage slowly, or it kills you", to see how many would be prepared to downgrade their gear to live.

Everything he does that deals that much damage is dodgible. If you are throwing bodies at him you are not doing it right.

Also, at least 8+ groups have to use a dps limit break on him right before he zantetsukens you or everyone dies.

It's a pretty interesting fight.

Way too many flashy lights on evrything we do. SE take that crap out and simplify it because honestly we dont need it and doesn't even come close to looking good. Those screenshots show you exactly what I mean, you cant even see the guy your fighting lol.

You can take the flashes off under character options. That's what I did for this fight.
