Similar monsters from FFXI to FFXIV? (examples)

I hope they add a giant wall crashing boss (the ones that are usually placed in a hall and have a tonberry like mechanic to them - and love casting death and or petrify).

I remember seeing concept art of the Demon Wall when they were doing the forum wallpaper event, so I imagine we'll see it in ARR.

I'm quite sure it was written somewhere that they will bring back 'traditionnal' mosters from other FF and create some new monsters that looks more like FF monsters compared to squirrels.

I'm glad they're bringing back Mandragora. They were my favorite mobs. And I much prefer the models of the sheep in XIV to the ones in XI.

Well standard animal mobs have been a staple to FF since the first game, so having SOME ordinary animals as mobs is not out of place at all.

For quite a while you only fight those animals - when my wife first saw me playing she was like "Why are you always beating up cute animals - that's a really weird game".

I had nothing to say back XD lol

Hope they bring some of the beastmen, like the orcs and yogados. ^-^

I can't imagine that not being in the labyrinth dungeon we're getting in ARR. It would be cool if the fight was be similar to how it was in FFXII.

If it means anything to anyone, Kobolds are based upon a real-world entity in German folklore. There are three types of Kobolds, so one of them in our game is the mining. They are referred as the Subterranean Kobold, who are entities that thrive underground in mines that humans make, and work alongside them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold#Mine_spirits

If Kobolds come from real-life folklore, where do the Ixali and Alamj'aa come from? I found that the the Alamj'aa and Mamool'ja look identical, which is why I linked them on the first post. But I know that not all Final Fantasy monsters are based upon things in real life.

I just recently got a book at Barnes & Noble about Monsters and Demons (I'm into mythology, paranormal, etc.), so yeah.

The answer is the same now as it was when I played FFXI "It is cute, but it has to die". My kids didn't like me killing mandragora or those little seedling things... god they were cute, what were they called? Lets have those back too.

I would like to see naga back in some form or another.

That's pretty standard for FF also. I just finished playing FF1, and most of what I fought was wolves and birds and horses, and a bunch of other ordinary animals.
