Will Maat make a comeback in ARR?

[Shougun]

I DID agree with others' comments on Hidebrand possibly becoming the 'new' Maat for X|V, lol.

Aww I like Maat, but please no Hildebrand as a final cap mentor. He could be a funny intro mentor, acting all epic and then you kick his ass at level 15 or something - that would be fun. But really do not make him a top end mentor >.>

Even with the gun spear a level 20 fisher could kill Hildibrand with wrist toss.

Ok, you got me to lol IRL there.

One complication I could see is defining class or job in the fight, since level is tied to class, and they already suggested the possible emergence of more than one job per class. Hmmm...

Class fights - require you to have no job added.
Job fights - require specific job.

No complication ^_^.

If the Dark Knight skill test quest is up then you go GLD -> DRK. Paladin GLD -> PLD.

And SE knows which ability pools you can pull from.

No.

If Maat comes back, I will throw this game into an incinerator. There is NO reason a grind should be accompanied by stupid quests that involve heavy RNG - getting papyrus, testimonies, etc. All of that stupid **** can stay with XI.

No.

There's no real reason to have arbitrary "rites of passage" like Maat. Most of those fights were extremely luck-based anyway. They're not a testament to your ability as a player, nor do they serve as much of a gear-check. Just a bottleneck that forces your LS to farm testimonies.

Though I don't share the same hype and reasons why Maat shouldn't be in FFXIV, I do cast the same /vote for not including the character.
Relying a character to progress in personal growth is so passé. With all the respect and love I have for Maat, he need to stay in FFxi and FFxi only. I don't want my memories of Maat ruined by an impostor or "New Maat" Wanna-be in XIV.

If a person wants to surpass him/herself and others, work needs to be done but a NPC can only guide you to the correct path,not give you the power.

What game are you expecting this to be, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe"?? LOL!



I think Vivi should be in XIV, show me Orco/Vivi! :P

I like the idea of solo instances/fights of any sort for players. There needs to be a lot more solo content overall in this game, but this Maat idea would be a good start.

Yeah all we need is solo content in a MMO...

Here's a radical thought! Why not have both?
