Mark/Hunter Board (FF12)

[Overdrive]

I think a very fun idea would be to implement some content such as marks, similar to FF12. To make it easy to implement, you could use the guildleve counter. Notorious monsters (NM's) of all different types and levels, could be rotated on the "Hunt Board" similarly to leves. I think the most interesting aspect of it should be spawn conditions for the NM. The board could give you information about an NM and tell you where it spawns, but leave it up to the player to deduce what exactly they need to do to spawn it. The NM's themselves should be interesting to fight, using unique abilities and having traits or trademarks.

I think the biggest reason most players are not having fun in Final Fantasy XIV, is because they are not challenged enough. We'd like content that involves using our brains, because otherwise the game becomes too monotonous and we lose the fire that keeps us playing.

I love that idea, I use to love fighting the Monsters from those Hunt Boards from FF12. I also miss how some monsters needed you to do something special to make them pop, or use a certain spell to be able to hurt it or make it start fighting. I vote for the Hunter Board or at least something that doesn't involve Guildleve.

2nd this. It was so much fun. They tried to add this to FF11 around the time they added Evolith, but it was boring. FF14 seems a bit more appropriate for this.

This is one thing I have not thought of adding to this game....its brilliant idea!!!

It is an interesting idea for FFXIV, i'd like to be able to create my own marks and post it to the board, "This stupid enemy keeps killing me, please go teach it a lesson in pain and i shall reward you with gils!" something like that haha

This is a great idea, I love it! It would totally fit into the world too!

I have a feeling they player's selected monster wouldn't be free roaming though. It would most likely only appear after it was 'activated' from the hunter board similar to how guildleve mobs appear. Otherwise you'd have all sorts of over-camping issues.

This would be a fantastic addition to the game! It would be a really good way to bring out the parties.

I agree. Hunting Board would be a great content for the game and easely updated by game's team.
Also I think more contents from FFXII could be added in Final Fantasy XIV, like the battle system for instance, it would fit perfectly in Final Fantasy XIV

I think that's a great idea, I loved hunting mobs in FFXII. But do you mean "instanced" or "public" preys? Would you have to be the fastest player to get there or would everyone receive one NM? Because if you have to compete it can probably lead to trouble somehow.
However, if it's one NM per player then I think it'd be a wonderful thing if SE can keep adding new fights that are challenging every now and then.
