Monsters from previous FF titles: What do you want in ARR?

[Gramul]

Pretty much any enemy that can fit comfortably in the setting. So more monsters and fewer mechs I guess. Unless they're empire mechs and make sense.

Rogue Tomato would be great! there's so many great ideas on this thread.
I'd love to see more technology like the Empire in FFVI
Ultros would be logical because his buddy Mr. Chupon is already in the artwork, Atma Weapon and doomgaze would be great too.


I think the best option I've seen so far are the 4 Fiends. They were a big part of FFIV but could also easily be put into FFXIV without upsetting the story.

In fact.. the only other FF game where the world ended was FFVI, they could put all the monsters released when the world ended! Doomgaze, Phunbaba, and the 7 dragons. That would be fun!

Tonberry, Behemoth, Omega/Ultima Weapon, Crawlers, Mimics, Diabolos, Doomtrain, Gilgamesh, epic Bahamut, Sahagin, Manticore, Ochu.

And more variation of Magiteck.

Tiny Mage from FF4!
Bring back the spell "Mini"! Make a village for it! Story line for a "Mini" village!

[Munba]

Tiny Mage from FF4!
Bring back the spell "Mini"! Make a village for it! Story line for a "Mini" village!

That would be nice!

[Raagnar]

Tiny Mage from FF4!
Bring back the spell "Mini"! Make a village for it! Story line for a "Mini" village!

That would actually be kind of interesting..

I would like to see moombas(FFVIII) and manticores(FFXI)

[Sakasa]

I think with Chocobos being able to be in battle bring back the Chocobo Eater (FFX)

[Zantetsuken]

not sure if they would work in this game.. maybe in a themed expansion (empire?)

But we haven't seen many of the Victorian/Japanese/Renaissance style humanoid mobs from FFVI in any recent games:



They all feel very foreign, and would make kind of cool mobs in the empire.. but I do forsee some problems:

1) Believable lore might be an issue with those guys.. Why are these freak-shows attacking us?? (Then again, they could live in a sort of lawless and dangerous Midgar-like area in the slums of the Emprire... , but they serve a rather psychotic mob boss or cult leader)

2) The forums will immediately be full of people asking the devs to make X piece of humanoid mob gear available to players to wear. In which case, players end up looking like the mobs.. and well... it gets stupid.


Still, the FOUR FIENDS (FFI) is what I want now more than anything else.

FFVI is still my favorite mostly because of how well done the Empire in that game was done, It started off so simple then got more and more complex. I never thought Kefka would ever amount to more than a joke in the story, but they did it all masterfully.
I think this could easily work into the plot. We have no idea how far the empire has gone, will go, and continues to try and achieve dominance of the world. This idea could work well into an expansion!

All those are great and I would love to see them all by why stop at monsters? I've been wanting to kick cloud and sephiroth for a min now
