Btw, mandragoras?

they're called rafflesia they are in ffxi... I'm pretty sure they're the same thing in xiv.

Either that or "Ochu".

If recent interviews are any hint, they have opted to call them Mini-Ochu's or something like that. =/

I really wish I could remember where, but I know I saw these monsters before when looking at FFXIV material. It was on a previous trailer or something. Maybe it was concept art they had released for realm reborn awhile back. I just know I've seen them before now lol. Anyhow it looks like they are making significant progress.

It would be silly to play music over the top of the game, and not have the players expect to hear it in game. Doesn't mean they have to make it a part of the game, but they kinda would have to think on it, if its not already part of the game.

I won't complain about things like animations and whatnot. SE has already made a multitude of comments regarding this. Plus like others said it's alpha. This stage of the game isn't about looks as much as its about stability. Beta, that is when we are truly allowed to scream and yell as much as possible. And if they do what they said they would, "LISTEN". Then we should be good lol.

And to the comment about lv 20, and not being able to explore. Common, it's not hard for them to give us a on/off switch for god mode. So that we can thoroughly explore for issues.
