Is it just me, or being level 20 killing a lvl 20 mob seem FFXI hard to kill?( maybe even harder) Unless it's a Quest of sorts :O.

* The battle system is currently undergoing significant revision, including changes to all damage algorithms and the claim system.

Not only that, but that's a Dullahan and an Adamantoise. Not exactly a marmot or coblyn, eh?

I understand, but even so.. it's still a level 20 . I know there's going to be alot of Revisions, but it doesn't hurt to point it out =).

Eeyup.

Personally, I get a bigger kick out of watching an enemy's life bar get slowly chipped away a sliver at a time, rather than in giant chunks.

Until you do that to a Dhalmel and it uses Healing Breeze. Ooh, those bastards!

They put that lv20 turtle in there just for the video, lv20 turtles don't exist

Turtles do exist in the game.. but unless your in the Alpha, How can you know there is lv20 turtles or not?

Those mobs aren't naturally level 20, they were lowered because it would have probably killed them otherwise. (One of the later Producer letters shows the adamantoise and all the people following him were afraid to go near them.) They probably also boosted the stats to make it more interesting.
