Garuda= Toughest Fight yet?

[Elexia]

Damn elixea we all know you love FFXI but you want them to borrow everything from it god lord. I mean do you have all these FFXI links bookmarked.

It's easy to find information when you need a reference lol, especially for a 10 year old MMORPG. Plus it's not "borrow everything from it", it's to show they've already have a good base to work from given their last feats with making "unique TP moves" that can create something challenging. I mean, the "female" form of garuda is pretty much an iconic XI symbol when you hear "garuda", most rarely remember the pure avian version from FFIX or FFX.

So when you think of devastating wind attacks, you generally think of Tornado or high tier wind spells like Aeroga/ra/ja, but when you take into consideration heavy wind attacks you're left scratching your head because most FF games rarely had "element" attacks, just attacks that may happen to have a element property to it that you can negate or absorb, so a quick reference to wind attacks and it's effects from a previous MMO they created is perfectly fine, especially since it's pretty obvious they're going to keep the signature moves for well known summons already. (They have so far, it's very likely they'll continue the trend.)

People are too hung up on "its from FFXI" to see the reasoning behind it, especially since the question was what have they done before in regards to wind so you have to look back to know what else wind is capable of, no? Especially since the only game that really put creative spin on elemental attacks was their last FF MMO, the other games was still the basic copy & paste elemental wheel.

Besides, if we're talking about borrowing from FFXI, do this: Google Search - Gallant Surcoat, see what comes up :P It's less about "borrowing" and more using it as a reference point of what they've done before, besides you never really had "primal fights" in most of the past FF games, so a comparison to XI is probably the best one you can make, because while you fought them in previous games, they were never always regarding a story or additional challenge for the summoner to fight in many, you just kind of...gained them as you went (Crystal/Fayth/Buy/Hey I'll join your cause/Gem stone off enemies etc.)
