F.A.T.E. and the future of Notorious Monsters

[Enma]

It was hinted by a community rep post somewhere/sometime that "there are some interesting pop conditions going around the office for notorious monsters", in which I presume are not entirely based on the FATE system.

I hope you are right.

U guys do know that Behemoth is a F.A.T.E. NM right? Fern confirmed it

Yes, I remember it. But it does not mean that all Notorious Monsters will be F.A.T.E. events.

I need to keep up with all the updates. Noob question, what is the F.A.T.E. system?

From what we know, each time you enter an area where a F.A.T.E. is planned, you can decide to join it or not. At that point you will be added automatically to a Party and can fight with other players against a special monster.

I hope you are right.

We’ve been told that there are some very interesting ideas floating around the developer’s room for notorious monster spawn conditions in 2.0! Although, I cannot tell you what they have in store for you just yet (of course, right? ), I hope this information piques your interest.

There are a lot of great ideas in this thread so far, we would love to hear more of what you would like to see so that we can continue to share your ideas with the dev. team.

It was in the HNM thread. Was easy to find.. It's about as clear as mud but just using logic to make a presumption.

Using logic, I daresay we will see both.

I was referring to this.

I read it, it is quoted on first page. I would like more information about it, but for some secret reasons we players have to wait. (For what?)

well i was thinking maybe Fate Behemoth drops a pop item for the King behemoth, would give EVERYONE an equal chance at claiming the more prized King

That would be cool. I'm pretty sure in the beginning that Behemoth will reward the little Behemoth pet and barding for your chocobo. Since FATE is something anyone can jump in and do, I don't expect the rewards to be anything mind-blowing.

When Yoshi-P says "Roaming Primals", I'm fully expecting this to be open world content, ala old school FFXI, but maybe he has something different in mind.

Well its not exactly clear IMO.. as Ruk's old post from the HNM thread could have be referring entirely to the FATE system. The FATE sysstem itself could have many different spawn conditions (see GW2) and perhaps every HNM is infact tied to the system. Now, I hope to gawd that is NOT the case, but as the OP suggested, we haven't been given any confirmation, as they have not shown any open-world HNM type mobs that weren't apart of FATE, yet.
