Monstrosity: Players playing as monsters system.

[Ultimatecalibur]

This is were this idea came to me, from Palace of the Dead. I got Monstrosity vibes as soon as I transform into a character. Wonder why they stopped at the Manticore & the Morrigan thing?

It does not have to be full on FFXI Monstrosity. They could add onto Palace of the Dead or something like that. Like adding more transformations and expanding the content. If it was like monstrosity, that would be great.

It is in the game already, they just need a kick to add a little more. With how the FFXI team handled this system, it is like FFXIV prior to A Realm Reborn. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and should never be spoken of. The last impression is the one you remember. Many people remember the FFXI team completely abandoning this system. So they recall half-effort incomplete side content.

They didn't really stop. While the deep dungeons only have 3 transformation pomanders (Rage (Manticore), Lust (Succubus) and Resolution (Kuribu)), they did add the Rival Wings PvP mode in StB where you get to "ride" (aka transform into) Oppressor (A1), Cruise Chaser (A11) and Brute Justice (A8) and all of those MSQ quests where you play as another character. They haven't dropped the mechanic and likely plan to do even more with it in future patches.
