An ideal overworld zone

[Ath192]

You've described Final Fantasy XI.

Not at all. XI's mobs mainly auto'd you to death and a lot of them were certain death and there was nothing you could do about it. That is more Eureka. Deep Dungeon mobs are dangerous without having to rely on heavy auto's and give the player more of a chance. Early XI had some of that feel NGL but I feel the encounters weren't all that intriguing.

I liked XI a lot but I hated the fact that an Easy Prey or Decent challenge rabbit could downright annihilate some jobs a la Rabbit of Caerbannog really sucked.
