Do you think FFXIV will ever have bosses like...(FFXI spoilers, maybe?

I never understood what Tanaka's team intention was with those two superbosses. They kept moving the goalpost on Absolute Virtue, and I can't help but wonder if they even play-tested Pandemonium Warden before releasing it.

Let's also not forget the cryptic "hint" video they released for AV.

I think it'd be cool to have a similar system to ZNMs in this game, but something manageable within a given time frame.

Why bother? People are going to figure it out anyway and post it on youtube.

What kind of person would want a boss fight that is either unkillable or last 18 hours? Sorry but no thanks. The thought that they even did such a thing in any MMO is mind boggling.

I think it would be cool to have some fight in the game that is impossible to beat, always will be. If by chance anyone beats it, then it gets taken out, adjusted, and put back harder than before.

This coming from a "filthy Casual White Knight Scum" poster.

Please explain to me what purpose making an unbeatable boss serves to the player or community as a whole. Sounds like some developers dream of stroking his ego.

I dunno. Some people seem to like the idea of slamming their heads against an immovable wall until they figure out the solution. Isn't that what point and click adventure games are for?

If there is a solution then it's not unbeatable is it?

I think I wasn't real clear in my post. I had two thoughts going and kind of ran them together. xD I edited it to be less confusing.

As long as they don't do the stupid "take pictures of mobs mid battle thing."

We had to implement a freaking No Photography rule in our Dynamis shell because people were so busy taking pictures of the durn bosses they didn't do the mechanics!

That's not the point. People like to be challenged, even if it goes past masochism

Oh good grief, that crap can die in a fire. I liked how ZNM progression worked, and there were some fun fights in the mix, but the picture part was silly. lol

Why am I now imagining your linkshell in Dynamis going, "Black Mage, sleep the mobs. Black Mage? WTF ARE YOU DOING?" *click*
