Reintroduce Maat in 2.0

[Req]

Me too, and they say "Oh just watch it in your inn room later!" I don't WANT to watch it later. I want to watch it in context with the fight I'm about to enter!

I wish SE made all cutscenes non-skippable.

Sorry but I don't want to watch the same minute long cutscene a billion times. They are cool the first time, after that they are just annoying as hell. If anything they should have done the opposite and allowed you to disable all cut scenes considering they have time based requirements for dungeons, and each dungeon run you do you are losing atleast a minute when you add up all the cut scenes you are trying to hastily skip through.

Iirc didn't they add in the feature to skip a little bit after one of the first updates?

Maybe they did. I wouldn't know, since I never even bothered to try skipping cutscenes until Toto-Rak and Darkhold were introduced, and PTs started demanding it.

no, I just wish everyone had to skip it for it to actually skip (e.g., people dont get put into the battle until everyone is done watching or have pushed the skip button)

You're right. This is a better idea.

An NPC involved in breaking level caps by giving you a fetch quest (50), fetch quest with NM fights (55), forcing lazy people to explore dangerous locations to show them what a real adventure is (60), to show people that adventuring (playing MMORPGs) isn't purely about battles and loot and forced you to seek out certain NPCs (65), then someone who mastered all jobs but Aht Urhgan and Wing of the Goddess jobs and you had to fight him one on on as your job and beat him before he mauls you...basically a test of skill as your class with support abilities locked off and only medicines and a prayer to support you.

Then why want the OP him in 2.0? There is no new level cap with 2.0.
It should be with the next expansion pack.

I did a quick search on Maat and it sounds interesting
More solo content like this is fun

The one the OP is specifically talking about is the fight one which is the one that tests your skills. Also it wasn't confirmed if there was or wasn't a level cap raise with 2.0, they said there might be one. They can easily make the quest happen at 45 since we already know leveling will change in 2.0 to begin with, so it technically doesn't even need a new level cap to be implemented.

Noone learned to play their job from the maat fight. I think this is a terrible idea!

[elreed]

Maybe not a exact Maat, in the AF quest you have a teacher for every job, they could add the fight against those teachers easily, without adding complex lore, and if they raise the lvl cap they could make quest every 5 levels until the fight, that should and must be difficult, i remember using a necklace and a sleeping potion to build full TP, because there wasnt other way as drg or drk to have a chance against Matt without using weapon skills from the begining.

I would love to see something like that applied, winning leaves you a sense of achievement...

Had to laugh at this:

Maat in FFXIV? Everyone please comment if you like or not.

I don't want Maat

(@TheVedis) So we can't have Maat just because YOU said so??

[Eekiki]

I know! Let's have the devs make two versions of the game. One that they make themselves, and one where they implement every fan-made suggestion without question.

Which game do you think would be better?

The first... that should go without saying.

Still, SE ran the ship aground with FFXIV release, so they are asking for our help to get it up and running again. They filter out the stupid suggestions for the most part~

On Maat... I thought he was a great concept in FFXI, and I love/hated fighting him (had to do it as RDM back pre-CoP @_@' )

I think what people really want is a challenging solo battle that is tailored for each job as an advancement hurdle... I know I'd like to see that.

...but Maat by name? nah..

I'd rather have Gilgamesh be given that role in this game
