New Ennemies !

[LeoGreenwood]

Playing Dark Souls,I thought I'd like to defeat the Ruin Sentinels in FF14

Which new ennemy would you like to see in FFXIV ?

• The Hell House/Armstrong (FF7/9)

• Sorceress (FF8)

• Abadon (FF8) ( We need more undead ennemies )

• Namul Niram ( The Last Remnant )

• Joker (FF7)

I can see the hellhouse being some kind of goblin war machina

I know it really shouldn't, but the fact that there is a space before the exclamation point in this thread's title is bothering me.....

This game is missing a large chunk of undead (and probably for the reason of trying to release in china). That being said, if they get added, I would like to see their real mechanics like in 8, were you can heal to damage and use a rez to kill (with some percentage, like the death spell in 13).

While this would be cool, and extremely useful during fights with them, I really don't see it happening since they would have to rework the targeting system of healing spells when those are the enemies being targeted. As it is, targeting an enemy and casting a healing spell means you heal yourself, and can sometimes be easier to work with if you need a quick heal than just targeting yourself, (especially during solo play when you're already targeting the enemy). I could see it being implemented in a mid dungeon boss fight however, with some sort of NPC object that the healers can cast their spells on to "charge" it, at which point it activates as an AoE healing blast that damages the boss while healing the players....

You can also heal yourself by not selecting a target if that's really issue. There's probably just a line of code that says that if you don't have a legal target for the heal (i.e. a PC or NPC) it defaults to yourself. It wouldn't take much to change an enemy to a legal target when they are of this type (or all enemies for that matter, but heals won't affect them since it by default does no damage). There is already a modifier for healing (seen in skill such as mantra, convalescence, defiance, etc.) so the modifier can by 0 for normal enemies and -1 (or what ever number) for undead.

I'm not saying it would be difficult to change. I'm just saying that I don't see it as being likely because it would affect a basic function of how healing works, and people don't like change unless it's all good and no "bad". Actually, they'd probably still hate the change even then.....

Well in that case, without messing with mechanics too much, I would want an aerial fight like Ultima Weapon (FFVII) where you can ram it with the airship to engage and it flies around. In fact, I would like roaming mobs in general; the leashes get on my nerves.

Ornstein and Smough

like, literally Ornstein and Smough

It'll be like, "You were expecting someone else or perhaps someone that vaguely resembled Ornstein and Smough as a clever reference but NO! IT WAS WE! LITERALLY ORNSTEIN AND SMOUGH!"

On that note, also: Dio Brando
