Final Fantasy X's Monster Arena for Final Fantasy XIV

[Nuru]

I never did the monster arena thing. ;-;

[Teakwood]

Guys he's not saying "port Pankration over", he's saying "do something like the FFX monster arena".

Which... I actually think would be really cool. <_< I'd watch people show off fighting huge ass monsters! I think there's a lot of potential for something like this in a system where you can see other people's rankings and- just the concept of an openly accessible monster arena in an MMO is actually pretty exciting to me. (Honestly, it interests me a lot more than a PvP coliseum!)

Pankration is not the same as Monster Arena.

Pankration is Mob vs Mob
Monster arena is You/PT vs Mob

You do collect mobs however, you have to kill them with a specific weapon though (or specific attachment i cant remember).

I really like the idea and think it would be good.

I would certainly want Blitzball, It's awesome, so why not? It could even be connected to Limsa as a New Sport from the Eastern country?

On the topic, I think that Monster Arena is cool. It would give players something to do/work on more than just grinding, crafting, End-game, etc.

Capture Rate + materia incoming!

I'm glad that you like this too. I also think there is a lot of potential on Monster Arena for FFXIV. Let's hope devs likes this too!

Actually I think it fits perfectly in FFXIV, everyone could get profit from this, solo and party. Players capturing monsters over Eorzea by defeating them with speacial weapons would make all areas and places useful.

Capture 10 of each monster from a single family and unlock a unique NM with unique drops!
Defeat unlocked NMs and unlock higger tier NMs.
Capture 10 of each monster of all monsters and unlock HNMs!

You know what I mean... lot of potential on this!

FFXIV 2.0 should just be renamed Final Fantasy: I-II-III-IV-V-VI-VII-VIII-IX-X-XI-XII-XIII-XIV.

Let's just not be original anymore.

final fantasy has always recycled ideas from the series, final fantasy 9, was almost a remake of final fantasy 4, they used that much from the game. but there was enough different about 9 that it was original and great

the idea of monster catching "yes please!"

[Eugenics]

"Its called re-inventing." That's all the Japanese do.

[Renshi]

This would be awesome to have!

My kind of idea for this:

First menu:

-----------------------------------------------------

1. Low-level NMs (L25+)
2. Mid-level NMs (L35+)
3. High-level NMs (L45+)

[ ] Gauntlet Mode (no time limit) <--- Checkbox

(Cancel) (Next)
-----------------------------------------------------

Second menu:

-----------------------
[List of NMs]


(Back) (Next)
-----------------------

Third menu:

-----------------------

• Easy (15 minutes)
• Medium (30 minutes)
• Hard (60 minutes)

(Back) (Start)
-----------------------


The NM Arena will accept every kind of party, from 1 to 8 members.

Low-, Mid- and High-level NMs will be all the NMs in the world, like Pyrausta, Nest Commander, Kokoroon Quickfingers, Dodore, Great Buffalo,...
Once you select one group of monsters, you can select a max of 3 NMs to fight at the same time. Then it's time to select the difficulty.

Difficulty depends on which moves they do, their health, defense, attack,... Obviously, more the difficulty, more the reward!

Firstly talking about this mode, once you Start, you'll have to survive an onslaught of monsters of about 4 rounds. In Easy and Medium difficulty, each round will have a 15 seconds pause. Then when you've killed every monster, in the fifth round you will fight the NM. At the end of the fight you'll move to the next NM fight with the timer resetted, rinse and repeat.
The final reward will also depend on the time you take to finish the fights, summing the used/elapsed time from each fight.

About the Gauntlet mode! It's kind of a Survival mode, where there's no time limit and your reward will depend solely on how many NMs you can kill. You can't choose the NMs to fight, because you'll fight them all until you fall down!
The fight will begin with the first NM, then there'll be a timer for the next NM to appear. Regardless of if you killed the NM you're fighting or not, the next NM is gonna spawn if the timer goes to 0!
To make things even more exciting, the timer will decrease each 3 NMs fights. The timer will also depend on which NMs you're fighting, if Low, Mid or High-level ones (for example, for low NMs it'll be around 5 minutes and each 3 NMs the timer will decrease of 30 seconds)

Reward will be randomly Gils or Seals, and as items could be any kind of potions, foods, materials, weapons, armors,...

There you go! Ideas? Pros? Cons? F*ck you Renshi?

See ya!

See ya!

first I d like the "Gauntlet mode" will not be a check box because I think it is wrong for a survival mode to have lvl limit, imo it is bette when you dont know what kind/lvl of NM will spawn instead of you always know their lvl range.

second the last option 45+ I d like it to be 50+, in this case the 50s dont have to right with 47 mobs, but the NM at the end game will be 55+

the CON I see in this idea is:

there is no lvl limit, I dont want any lvl 50 to sign up for 25+ to solo NM and farm reward, even when the reward is only gil.

I am against the idea with rare wep and armor for this as I dont want the idea to become a item farm fest, but instead there should be at gil, seal and list of the best time or damage total, or total kill for example so ppl can have some competion, that ll be a better idea and suit for Arena imo.

and here is the question:

the concept about NM, will it be arena exclusive NM or the NM around the world ?
