Main Scenario/Dungeon Preview (Some images)

[Yasuhiro]

That slug is so adorable *-*

It's not, that snail got a few nasty things up its sleeve, unless they scale Y'mir down so the party doesn't make the mistake of attacking its shell.

I already see the nerf incoming when this mechanic stops groups from clearing because that one party member won't listen. >_>

Might get another case of this
"Keep attacking the shell guys! DPS DPS DPS!"

Go fight a Malboro, Cactaur, or Tonberry enemy with some randoms, and you can immediately tell the mmo crowd from the Final Fantasy crowd. I mean, an aoe from a Cactaur can't be THAT bad, right? Just some lame attack called 10k needles, I'll go ahead and stand it in.

More dps is always the solution.

So nobody here cares that Nidhogg looks like he would be at his full power form?

no question taht we will have a trial.

After seeing that image I really want to know what happens in the main scenario.

Estinien getting a new Gae Bolg.

Alas... although Nabriales wasn't as bad as the Lahabrea debacle, it could still have been reserved for a harder mode of difficulty. Same with the two in the ACF. Shame they don't do hard mode versions of those fights. I'm betting Niddhog will endure a similar fate, which is sad.

I'd honestly love a Nabriales, Minstrel Ballad.

ffxiv in a nutshell

[Lauront]

Not entirely true, but certainly for the non-savage/-extreme mode content that is often the case.

I'd honestly love a Nabriales, Minstrel Ballad.

I'd like them to just do much harder versions of what are meant to be very powerful entities, period, rather than what is essentially a fanciful embellishment of it, and just make a casual version of it for those who just want to see the story.

The new trial is getting a story mode...AND an EX mode.

Watch Nidhogg EX become the next Thordan EX...

Is that confirmed? If so, wonderful! Every major antagonist deserves an EX mode to better show off their capabilities. It's a good compromise, I think, since regular players can breeze through the story mode and those interested in a challenge can indulge in the more challenging version of the fight. Even better if there's more neat themed weapons/armour to be acquired.

Cool, now give me a Nabriales EX mode... and an EX mode version of the last fight in the ACF... aaaand one for any future Regula and/or Varis (not that I want him to die) fights. <.< And I'll be a happy au ra.

If there is new gear for Nidhogg I really hope the devs are above releasing re-skinned Dreadwyrm weapons...
