Add Notorious Monsters Final Fantasy XI style into Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Ryuko]

I agree to a point with you Ryuko that the FFXI style NMs wouldn't work, but I think the old 1.0 style NMs would.

I do agree that the FFXIV 1.0 NMs would be more doable. I enjoyed going around in 1.0 and killing all of them to get the achievement. If they respawned often and were a challenge to kill, they probably wouldn't be camped constantly. Making sure they don't drop anything TOO good (and certainly not anything sellable!) would need to be a priority to make this realistic.

I'd love to have the free-roaming NM return to ARR..but for sure not the kind of HNM - looong fights - 3days spawn kind.

I liked the giant Rams that shook the ground when they were near.

This got over 3k likes in Beta. They said no.

I'm all for it myself, but the devs have spoken.

Would love to have these open world NM's return. Not the 1.0 versions but the FFXI version where they actually mean something. It adds a ton of content for a huge amount of players for very little development effort.

Read above explanation..

My point still stands. Why is it bad to take ideas from XI but it's okay to put GLORIOUS LIGHTNING-SAN in ARR? How is that okay?

It isn't. If we can have Lightning in game, we could have NMs with pop timers. Besides, we already have something similar with Odin/Behemoth, which are 24-72 hour pops. But everyone has a chance at it so it's fair, right? Oh wait, you can't even see the mob because it's so congested and it's just as unfun as NM supposedly were.

Okay.

[Hikozaemon]

they said they would look into adding NMs to special chain leves where the spawning of them can be controlled so there are no hissy-fits over claims.

We had this in 1.0, but sadly due to the WoW, and bandwagon mdia the game got shutdown, and now we have 99% WoW clone.

FATEs are zergfests and are not in any way the same thing. There is zero skill involved, just spam and no fun in any way for me. I want them to be in the game because others enjoy them though. Personaly I love to solo/lowman things out in the open world and some competition for that added excitement when you claim. Most people that say no to a regular NM system just say no because they don't like doing it, but then just don't do it. Nobody is forcing anyone to do any content. Botting was not an issue with regular NMs and there are ways to combat the issues present with HNM (but at least regular NMs should be there). As far as drops go there is no reason not to give them good drops too as long as the same items can be found in instances etc so everyone can get them whether you enjoy NMs or not, it would just be an added way of getting already obtainable items. With a system like this I don't see any reason not to have NMs and I can't for the life of me understand why some people are so adamantly against it when it doesn't even affect them, but takes away such a big part of the fun for others.

As long as the drops are bound and can't be traded then I'm ok with this. If not the no keep it out of the game. No more, never again do we need content that can only be done via botting.
