Similar monsters from FFXI to FFXIV? (examples)

[Elexia]

I never got to fight a flan in FFXI, but only in FFTA and FFTA2, as those were nearly immune to damage from weapons, and only magic could damage them? They are a pain in the butt as well.

Depends. By default they're weak to magic, however some of them like boss types (Princess Pudding, Cumin Custard etc) are weak to only certain elements and absorb their respective element.

They also have an "ability" when they grow spikes which is when you'll be able to hurt them a bit more with physical damage. Non-elemental damage also does boosted damage to them like using one of the new Sword WSs you get at 96 will bypass their physical defense.

Apparently you've never played FFXIV

apparently i've played it more than you (prove me wrong), and apparently you're either illiterate or too much of a homer to realize almost every single post is asking for mobs from xi that AREN'T in xiv to BE in xiv.

your posts are so consistently bad and wrong they hurt me physically.

also, a lot of you here are confusing the meanings of the words "similar" and "identical"

even if two things look very similar, they don't look identical unless they are... get this... actually identical, like identical twins. IE: amaljaa and mamoolja look very similar, with differences in skin color, skeletal structure and bulk. you could say they're cousins. maybe one evolved from the other. but do they look exactly the same? no, they do not. no matter how you try to slice it- whether minor or not, there are aesthetical differences.

I look forward to seeing behemoths (2.0), I hope they add a giant wall crashing boss (the ones that are usually placed in a hall and have a tonberry like mechanic to them - and love casting death and or petrify).

Speaking of that, tonberries would be great lol.

Demon wall you say? Coming in ... you know the drill.

That's what I meant, actually. Similarities. The Amalj'aa looks similar to the Mamool'ja, along with their names. To me, I think FFXI had a ton of monsters, but I'm not sure compared to past games. FFXI was my first main Final Fantasy game, but my first spin-off of sorts was Tactics Advance.

I really want to see Giant worms (Land worms) as some sort of normal mob, having them as a NM was cool and all but you rarely got to see it.

I hate when new cool monsters are regulated to dungeons and special events only.

^ I just looked up all of those monsters on FFXIpedia or whatever. It was really interesting to read about those as I've actually never heard about them. To be honest, my highest job on FFXI was Lv38 or so. I just didn't have the time to play the game while doing schoolwork in high school and college.

I just hope that there will be some kinds of these monsters when ARR releases. Either that or new ones, but I like the variety that FFXI had. Which Final Fantasy game had the most monsters in-game (such as the families, eg. rarabs, orcs, birds, etc.)?
