It would be cool to see a Zodiac themed set of NMs. Could even make an entire Sky/Sea-like area with them as the bosses. Most of them already have a obvious mob in the game that represents them, so it would just be a matter of recoloring/remodeling them and giving them new abilities. Of course it would be nice to have unique models, but here are some suggestions for simplicity's sake:

Cancer (the Crab): A crab, but bigger and meaner.

Scorpio (the Scorpion): Diremite.

Pisces (the Fish): Could be a group of anglers/orobons.

Leo (the Lion): We know coeurls are coming, just give one a main and we have our lion.

Taurus (the Bull): Could use the buffalo model, but make it's horns curved to the front.

Gemini (the Twins): 2 imps that act together and share enmity. They could both do the same attacks or do actions that compliment each other (one will cast burn, then the other will cast fire).

Aries (the Ram): One of these. To offset the cuteness, it could light on fire and summon ogres or something.

Virgo (the Maiden): Could be a Sylph that summons roselings and eventually a morbol.

Libra (the Scales): Can't really represent scales as a mob, so make the fight represent balance. It could be 2 bombs that you must do damage to evenly or the one with more HP will grow and become stronger as the gap increases. Then if they don't die within a few seconds of each other, the living one will explode and kill everyone.

Aquarius (the Water Bearer): A giant water elemental that spams water based spells.

Capricorn (the Goat): Often shown as having the front half of a goat and the back half of a fish, so they might have to do a little more than use an aldgoat.

Sagittarius (the Archer): Often shown as a centaur, so again, current models in game might not suffice.

Ophiuchus (the Serpent Bearer): The semi-official(?) 13th sign, a man grasping a serpent. Could be something that summons drakes and peistes.

I think more beast tribes that seem to be connected to the primals. I posted in another thread my thoughts on the tribes we have now.

I think it's important for them to keep a final fantasy spirit, but not be gimmicky by just adding races from other Final Fantasies. They need to keep it original with the beast tribes in this game since this is a different world. There isn't really all that much that connects this game to XI save for the majority of races and being an mmo. Any other parts are also things that connect XIV to other final fantasies. I am all about them adding more beast tribes...and ones that appear to be connected to summons.

Amalj'aa - Ifrit
Ixali - Garuda
Slyphs - (carbuncle? o.o)
Kobolds - (err... titan due to where they live and the currency they drop known as "titan" etc pieces?)


Basically beast tribes should drop beast coins and have some similarities to those 'primals' they are connected to. So fish faces for Leviathan and icy amazons for Shiva? It can be thinking outside the box, but connecting it to its final fantasy core still.

I wonder if every primal comes with their own beatstribe, heh.

Makes me wonder what kinda beastmen would worship Alexander.

[zaviermhigo]

Yeah I noticed that, I just wish they were more feathered and Garuda should be more feathery. From the moment I heard Garuda though, I was SO PUMPED TO HOPEFULLY SEE IT IN GAME!

beast coin should unlock epic nm fight (bcnm)

Omg, i know this was back in the forum a bit, but I just read this and OMG, i would SH*T myself if there were ufos from xi in xiv.

I like these from Teknomans post, would love to see them in game as the monster designs are actually one thing the game does very well.

Flamehound
An elemental beast composed entirely of flames. Also works for the alternate version, Frosthound.

Rhinotaurs
Dont remember seeing them anywhere outside of FFVI, but they were pretty cool enemies.

By the way, I think this is a good thread so could you perhaps remake this with the appropriate dev code title. Surprised more people haven't put any input here.
