How should Tonberries be implemented?

Yeah, that's more of a TP calculation problem rather than mob problem. Instead of doing the smart thing and readjusting the calculation of it, especially under leve regards, they rather just blanket nerf a mob for no reason D:

Tonberry's, Hell ya! But... Game really needs a spot for them tho.

Hopefully there's a spot in 2.o.

Tonberry Primal...??? Would be cool.

Is there any back story to Tonberrys in FF?

In FFXI.. I think they were beastmen but didnt have any real role but maybe... as assassin's.

[Elexia]

In XI tonberries were what became of the Kuluu (mostly), so they're essentially beastmen as they're not just mindless monsters, they have a society and were actually people during history at one point in time. (iirc, been 7 years since I did Zilart's storyline.)

They serve no true purpose, not even the Cryptonberries in the story aside being spirtual protectors, which is why most of the higher Tonberries/Cryptonberries are Summoners.

Yeah, if you read the whole Toneberry backstory in FFXI, it was really depressing. They're the remnant of the Kuluu civilization which was also responsible for many (though not all, the Zilart had their hands in there too) of the landmarks throughout FFXI.

Tonberry basic move should be to cast 'Stop' (or equivalent) on someone, walk up very slowly and then stab them for 9,999 damage. They should have lots of HP and Def so there is a panic rush to kill them before they wipe everyone out.

FFXI made it hate-based, but the core concept was still there.

As far as a beastmen race... well maybe. I'd like to see one or two of them just hanging out in dark corners of the world or dungeons as a bit of an anomaly first. (like Lone Coeurl is)

I'm thinking more Heavy, or Bind. But good idea.

This is my first post on the forum! Thought I'd mention that lol.

From what I remember in FF8 (its been a long time tho), you found Tonberry in an evil tower like area. Could be put in Mor Dhona region maybe. Regardless more classic FF monsters are welcome, these guys are definitely in a top spot!

Tonberry would make an awesome and creepy primal done right.

However they're implemented, once they're aggro'd they need to have a countdown timer to "Donk!"
