Castrum Novum - Content for a better tomorrow

[Zaaku]

I ran my ass up from Brittle Bark at the behest of the Bull General himself. Had to traverse literally shiton (A ton of shit) of Imperial footsloggers and their hell hounds. After I made my way into the temporary cave HQ they told me I had to penetrate the Disco Fortress and then inlaid a goddamn Battle Plan map in front of me. Outlining the objectives and routes.

Pushed into the narrow choke before the first gate and just rolled back in my seat. THAT was an army. After a tastefully short and awesome cutscene of the throngs of Grand Company men throwing themselves into the fray I got to experience it first hand. There were a half a dozen strong, mixed LS PC's waiting around anxiously. All braving one more tip toe towards the aggro line. Gathered them into a party and began to chip away at the bulk defensive line. One after another after another links of Imperials crashed down on our little half PT and we were losing HP and MP at an alarming rate. Then the others reinforced! A new PT charged in and flanked the remaining guards, taking the pressure of us.

Knocked politely on the First gate and they were hospitable enough to let us in.

20 more minutes or slaughtering and running through Imperial strong hold outs and Machina vanguards we got to the final door and were presented with an interesting and unique boss fight. All of this open world, without a typical 8 man set up. Just throwing Adventurers at a problem until enough of them work together to beat it.

The fact that this was just after an update and everyone and their moogle was doing it made it feel that much more epic. Nothing like an army of adventurers, full parties, light parties and soloists/duos cleaving through an Imperial Stronghold. Quite the sight to behold, even with character limitations.
