1.23a Patch Notes!!!

[Zumi]

You're wrong, but let's not get into that here.

Almost everyone I talked to on my LS in FFXI say the game is better now then pre 75 where everything was so hard to organize groups for and had crap drop rates. Abyssea let you gear up in a decent amount of time.

Why do people associate ATOMOS from being part of Abyssea? My memory betrays me, but weren't they introduced FIRST in the Wings of the Goddess expansion and were implemented as a means to go back in time?

Fixed for you. This Atomos is not a maw, yes it looks like them from FFXI, but its only in FFXI they were refered to as carvenous maws. Atomos was around and looked very similar to this Atomos, that make FF9 Atomos a maw, and all the others?

[Reika]

Copy Paste.. damn...

SE should stop letting their Mobs looks similiar to their previous alter-ego's. /sarcasm off.

What i'm more curious about.. he's popping in certain Zone's... weather effect's changes... I she actually fightable? or will be? And what is that new item for from Alchemist Recipe.. i wanna experience.. NOW! D:

Hes going to do 9999 damage.

No it didn't FFXI still has like 2000-2500 people on a server at peak times. Most people who didn't quit weren't butthurt over their 75 gear being obsoleted found Abyssea to be really fun and gave you so much to do. I still play FFXI because of Abyssea. Had the game become stagnant with nothing new added my FFXI subscription wouldn't still be active.

i agree i love it also where i got phruba the lv 89 dnc dag 44dmg plus +10 to healing waltz which had a subprim drop rate from an monster that you had to fight lesser nm's to get and it took an allience to get

Yea they were introduced as a way to go to the past [S] areas. However they also became the entry way to Abyssea which is a major part of FFXI endgame for the past couple years. People used the maws for abyssea in FFXI on a daily basis so that is what comes to mind.

Atomos goes all the way back to FF5 if you wanna be technical about it. :P

[Nuru]

Have you seen the trailer, is specifically shows Dalamud hitting, and it says how the only way we survive is being sent through time to wait, then we come back.

Also Zumi, the maws weren't just in Abyssea, they were in the past as well, looking exactly the same, this does not mean Abyssea will come to FFXIV, if it does I know a lot of people will quit. Atomos looks very similar to all the other Atomos incarnations, with some differences as he evolved so to speak.

Also for anyone who doesn't know Atomos is a gravity type mob/summon/whatever which is why he can suck people into his huge mouth, and in FFXI he had the ability to move you through time, if there was a linked maw, working just like wormholes.

EDIT: Stop calling Atomos a Carvernous Maw that was just FFXI, some people need education on FF games it looks like. Atomos is Atomos just like in all other games.

Actually, in the trailer it seems like something emerges from Dalamud, like some sort of bridge. It doesn't exactly collide at all, at least not in its entirety.

I would have to agree with you on Atomos though, I do not remember Cavernous Maws being linked to Atomos aside from the design. Though I wish the dev team would have remodeled Atomos altogether instead of using the FFXI rip and having everyone go nuts and saying Abyssea is here. xD Besides, weren't Cavernous Maws introduced in WotG? Not Abyssea? O-o

Well any 75 content basically got erased. The 99 cap broke ffxi its neck.

I know, all jobs lvl 99 in 2 weeks (less actually) all geared in no time, Abyssea is just easy mode, give me a good old Dynamis where one wrong move would wipe a linkshell, or (in the case of windy) one wrong move meant the rest of the run was almost impossible any day over "Lets duo this with a WAR and WHM" and the awesome "You can't proc GTFO and level something useful" yeah loads better when my SCH and DRG struggled to get into fights just cos they couldn't proc as well as other jobs, and oh yeah "we only want as many jobs as we need so there's less competition." so much better.
