New Instanced Raids (03/07/2012)

I noticed throughout that whole video pretty much only PLD takes any damage. It doesn't seem to be a lot of damage either. So it seems the mobs in here don't AoE often if at all, including bosses, cause WAR and MNK are straight up in there.
It also seems that PLD is an awesome tank, holding all the mobs while taking minimal damage. This kind of makes me question how "challenging" this dungeon is. These people don't appear to be struggling at all. Also note that they're getting along fine with their stationary casting and without all their cross class abilities.
Last, I noticed with the food buffs at chimera that PLD has over 4k HP while WAR had over 5k. I know they don't have +HP materia either since AF gear isn't meld-able... So either job stats, AF gear, or both are awesome.

Video was to show off the Dungeon, not the Damage people do or take.

The damage people do or take regarding mobs in the dungeon has a relation to the dungeon itself, does it not?

Remember Darkhold Video and its 8k Damage from the eye? Yeah, that was really in relation to the Dungeon.. I'm unsure how people beat Darkhold :P.

Im not THAT excited of watching the video... its almost the same appearance of a normal dungeon in Thanalan.

i would have loved somethin really different .



and why can a boss have not more than just one attack spot? a chimera would have been perfect to have maybe around 3 different attack spots (3 heads).


in Offline Final Fantasys we have that, where you can attack for example the head or the big hand of a big boss mob.. why not in FF Online for more complexity?

We have it in FFXI as well since ToAU (it may not look like it, but it's in place.)

The hp/mp values shown in these videos tend to be a little bit above average. Also damage done to players often differs from "Real world" experience. Remember the party wipe caused by the eye in the dark hold video?

These videos are taken during testing while they are tweaking said parameters. And as such can not be used as evidence one way or the other.
