Crystal Tower

So.... Which is Coil of Bahamut stronger or Crystal Tower?

I was of the understanding Coil was stronger.


Wait so these are just re-hashed bosses from FFIII? That just seems kind of lazy.

I predict tower will have iLVL 80 lootz.

It's not a prediction if it was already confirmed :X haha

And yes, Coil was supposed to be harder, you gear yourself with CT to take on Coil easier.

ilvl 80 loot was confirmed??

Just because its confirmed it will not be as hard as coil I don't believe that confirms the exact ilvl loot will be?

Believe he said it in one of the 2 TGS live letters.

iirc the crystal tower is supposed to expand on the main storyline, probably why its being DF'd

I really don't see the hype for Crystal Tower. It's going to drop ilevel gear WORSE than Coil. Seems genuinely better to just farm AK, WC, and Coil.

And a 24 man instance? :/ Really? Groups cap at eight. So why four separate groups?

Unless there's a new group feature I'm not aware of coming in 2.1.

For some of us, FFXIV:ARR isn't just about getting best gear, it's experiencing the Final Fantasy inside a MMORPG.

I doubt they'll add these in Crystal Tower later but in FF3 all the Legendary weapons (Excalibur, Ragnarok, Masamune, Elders Rod, etc) came from there (specifically dungeon inside the Crystal Tower, mentioned in my previous post), for gear wise listening to what YoshiP said at TGS, we can assume Genji set to be coming from Crystal Tower and probably Crystal gear set <--- this one is just my guess.

So much this. I mean really, once you have the best gear, its kinda game over till next patch. Experiencing the story they laid out first hand is the fun part. Also, if they add crystal gear that'll make my day.

The hardcore power-gamers (and WoW cast-offs) will likely chase their self-worth in the next big/new/popular MMO when it rolls out. (Lets hope ESO and WildStar keep them occupied)

ARR's player community should see a significant base attitude improvement around the same time.
