Highly Notorious Monsters

[Rydin]

By the way, wasn't the term for "HNM" in FFXI known as "Hyper Notorious Monster" ?
"Highly Notorious Monster" doesn't make sense, and it just sounds silly.

Hypnotically Notorious Monster!!!!

I think HNM's follow the same group as normal nm's for devs I thought players made the term HNM up very much like Af when the devs keeps saying the gear we got isn't AF >.>.

There was also a question about the reasoning for the job-specific gear being referred to as AF (or artifact gear). While the upcoming job-specific gear is a type of artifact gear, there are plans to have other types of artifact gear in the future, some of which won’t necessarily be job-specific.
