Castrum Novum - Content for a better tomorrow

[Jocko]

I must say, I'm rather pleased with this new addition! A fun, open world romp capped off with an interesting, challenging, and unique boss fight. If XIV can continue to add such content, I believe it will easily become an MMO worth playing. If 2.0 perhaps adjusts the current Primals to be more like this area and ups the drop rate, what we have now would be far more enjoyable as well

that fight... was... epic.

I have to say, as I've said many times before, SE never fails in the storyline or music department. This battle was well designed, the music for it was very fitting and the storyline cutscene screamed epic.

Honestly, the whole fight gave me a very strong FFXII feel to it, and that is a very, very good thing.

[Doho]

it was just aesthetically outstanding. I want more. NOW

And on the other side you have Relic weapons once again proving that luck is everything in this game.

But, yeah Castrum Novum is fun. Heck, even wiping at the fight was fun.

Best addition to the 1.22 patch so far.

I had to stay Castrum Novum instanced really gives amazing sci-fi feeling but it doesn't feel like its out of the world. That little small room is just really amazing in terms of design, The fight itself is easy but i would really love them to expand this room and have a tough fight inside.

Kudos really.

The open world is ok i guess, too many people, so i won't really say anything since i don't see much.

Best addition to the 1.22 patch so far.

Agreed, and I would even go to say it's the best battle added to date. It can be a hard fight, but it wasn't impossible, which is what this game needs more of.

It's casual and hardcore all wrapped up in an epic fight. I'm looking forward to more of this in the future.

Wish we had that new engine now because it was really fun to be in that strong hold in the heat of the moment. Right after you finish the quest beforehand and get pumped, and while everyone is actually rushing in and fighting for the good of the region.

My group of friends didn't bother too much today though, the mass amount of people caused a lot of people some headaches. But in my opinion it wont be as fun without them there. If this is an example of how story, art and music and gameplay are going to tie together in 2.0 then color hyped. Sure i bet it isn't going to be too hard or meaty of content, but it sure is fun.

You know, I think I'm actually sad this fight will go away after 2.0. Since it's 7th Umbral Era content, that means we lose it.
