Will Maat make a comeback in ARR?

[Duuude007]

I am personally a fan of requiring some sort of "Rites of passage" to allow a player to proceed to new levels, once the level cap is raised.

Although some jobs in FFXI had it really easy (BST, WHM), with careful balancing, they could make a solo-only challenge against a difficult-to-defeat npc with the same job [AKA Maat from FFXI], so a player can prove that they fully understand how to play their job effectively, before they can access higher-level content.

NOTE: I am not a fan of Testimonial farming, but merely the solo-only event as a test of personal skill. Rebalanced so that the challenge between jobs/classes is both similarly difficult and class/job-themed.

Please Like if you agree with having Maat-like solo only content in ARR.

knowing SE they would make Hildebrand the ARR Maat

fun idea! lol

Please Like if you disagree with having Maat-like solo only content in ARR.

And please, if you do vote no, try to explain why. Thanks.

I will flip a table at you so fast if they implement anything like that which cant be done solo.

(Solo wise I think its a good idea to skill check a player, makes levels a more reliable basis of ability)

I gave you a like :P, just really really hate content like that which cant be solo'd, in the long run it will mess with the new people who join in late.

Something like Maat I think would be amazing. Some kind of test to prove your worth of advancement!

[Thunderz]

would be interesting

I remembering beating him on my Samurai

had 100hp left!

Probably, since Maat, Prishe, Shanttoto, Lion, Shadow Lord and Cait Sith are pretty popular FFXI elements which they're clearly bringing over for ARR given the fan service nature. (We already got Crystal Tower and FFVI style Magitek and soon to get a golden saucer type place, so yeah time to expect certain XI elements, hopefully Nyzul or Salvage.)

Cait Sith originated from 7, not 11. Cait Sith ACTUALLY being a cat and not a puppet, well, that's from 11, I guess.

I'd love to give him a good thrashing again.

Maat was one of those things I really agreed with in FFXI (Limit breaks in general), as it slowed the grind down a bit and made your first level 75 a real accomplishment.
