[dev1031] Old NMs reinstated

[Lenneth_Valkyrie]

Think that maybe we could see back some old NM names that accompanied our experience in FFXI.. I'll make a few examples..

Hoo Mjuu the Torrent: Adapted to the new beast tribes.. mage NM, the Ixali could have him for starters..

Dark Spark: Could also come back as a bomb NM.. making it larger and have a black and purple colorset emphasizing its dark nature.. would use dark elemental magic and absorbs.. maybe best put in a dungeon..

Cactrot Rapido: Could roam Thanalan..
10000 needles..? I say yes.. so that maybe the hardcores would get some challenge they much yearn for..

Bloodtear Baldruf, Lumbering Lambert and Steelfleece Baldarich: The three rams.. They could be random lottery spawns from aldgoats in the 3 countries zones in which higher level aldgoats reside.. could have similar model and size to Elder Mosshorn but different textures or colors for each one..

Deadly Dodo: Possible lottery spawn among Fat Dodos in La Noscea.. different color scheme..

Waraxe Beak: Possible lottery spawn among Cockatrices in Thanalan.. larger..

Amikiri: Possible lottery spawn among Diremites at the Footfalls in Thanalan..

Ancient Goobbue: Possible lottery spawn among Elder Goobbues in La Noscea..

Well, it can be...

Please do not slander me, although I have never played 11 or WoW... I don't think there is a reason to re-name NM's after a previous version. This is not a sequel, it is after all, a brand new game.

What's wrong in seeing some old names..? No one is saying they're the same monsters that traveled dimensions and came to Eorzea from Vana'diel.. :/
It's a nostalgia thing..

Hoo-Mjoo!? *shudder*

I spent so many hours, nay, days in Giddeus. I never got the drop.

Rather sad though that the Monster Signa ended up being so cheap now-a-days. In terms of these NM's you want? I say no. There are only key names that Final Fantasy has always had and should always use. Behemoth, Wedge, Biggs, Cid, etc. I would rather not remember Deadly Dodo for the Brown Belt......

[Lenneth_Valkyrie]

lol deadly dodo was by far the easiest of them to find for the brown belt item..

In a 15 man party, 10k needles sounds manageable, but in an 8 man it sounds like death.. Lets do this >=D
Who am I kidding, as if everyone isn't pouring att points into Vitality =V (I'm not actually, which is why I'm a terrible tank)

Anyways, some of these aren't bad ideas, but I doubt it.
