Crystal Tower

[Blindfate]

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.

three groups, not four

There could be 3 rooms, in every room a boss and all three bosses need to die at the same time (just an idea)

They have already said that the groups will need to split up in the tower to accomplish certain things at the same time. Specifically in the puzzle sections.
