Thread: New Notorious Monster 2.0

I want Absolute Virtue that way this game will really be the true FFXI-clone that we all want it to be.

Sarcasm aside, I want Gilgamesh. I don't need any other FF anything in this game. Just give me Gilgamesh. Not that terrible FFXI pirate either. I want the glorious incarnation from FF5/12/Type-0.

It isn't. The guy makes it look a lot easier than it is, because he's a god. Even so, that fight isn't one of the hardest ones. There are ones like this and this.

Dynamic fights, with enviroments that get torn down. The first one is a two on one battle with a really speedy knight and a really slow powerful giant; the second link is a spider naked lady that spits lava making certain spots unavailable for a while (kind of like ifrit) and spits fire and much more.

why would a giant wolf need a sword in its mouth to kill me?

Same reason the moon can cry monsters

Maybe some day From software will make an MMO though.

Well, that's an online game too. Guy's just soloing. But you can play with two or three friends to help you. I don't remember.

There's this hydra fight that lives in a lake and shoots ice at you that tear down trees, and you have to go chopping off its heads. Then it starts dropping its head against you once you get close, like trying to squash you or something.

Once they fix the server and give us some spells we can cast while moving... I'd like to see more mobile battles....
thats something FF has always managed to do well....

A battle on a boat/airship/raft/train

In another thread I talked about a battle where some NM was barreling towards a town... and when it got there it would destroy the town.....
You'd have to fight it while it was running. It would run just slightly slower than our characters and slow down when it wanted to cast something on your party

It kind of sounds like besieged it that what you aiming at Rydin?

Kind of... but in besieged when you had aggro the mob would follow you
Im talking about the MOB would always be running toward the city...
And it would slow down to hit you... but still be headed to the city
