Scars Of Abyssea Preorder!

>Implying I screenshot killing easy NM's

edit: Or play anymore.

Flion, do you regret getting the first 3 add-ons then? If not I would peg you as a pretty big hypocrite. I mean, What do you get with those, a short story that can last 1-2 days, 1 reward, and a few possible nice items from continously repeating certain BCs.

What do you get from the first abyssea Add-on? 3 decently large (altough reskinned) areas, a magnificient EXP area, a HUMUNGOUS (sp?) amount of both easily obtainable (and above average) and not-so-easy to obtain gear (which made many of the 'best' gear before it look silly), a shitload of new NMs (Both easy and what seem like HNM difficulty), a New VNM set, many quests/missions inside all 3 abyssea areas, and Empyrean Weapons.

I don't know about you, but looking at the facts, the first abyssea add-on was MUCH MUCH more worth 10 dollars than any of the previous add-ons.

PS. nothing against you Flion :P, debating can be fun.

Difficulty is subjective. I find little in this game hard. I'd get A+ in everything Math related in high school, but I'm sure the people that struggled to get C's thought it was hard. I know to them it was hard, but to me it was easy. Same goes for this game.

The difference is, in math class I didn't have to rely on 17 other people who averaged C's and D's in math for parts of my tests/homework. If you have sub par players, that lack concentration, skill, or a brain, easy things can average out to be hard.

Can we get back on topic plz.

I hope Iron Giants aren't Iratham. I actually want to see one once in my life.

Assumptions assumptions. You assume I still have my LSC URL set up.

ill buy it, but i only was just recently able to get vision.

i was kinda thinking of what someone else was saying, wait til it comes out in a bundle thats cheaper than the individual addons

I wonder how often FFXI will have expansions after heroes of abyssea.

1 add-on a year you reckon?

mini AVs that drop awesome key items >=D

Well they have the iron giants (which is not iratham, he's a new mob altogether)

i think that is pretty fair.. or 1.5yrs.. they need to continue on with job adjustments and so forth also.. but if they do a good up date every 1-1.5yrs i would be happy

i think it'd be fun to see an 'onion knight' type job.

just saying~

Sad part is majority of the people arguing in this pointless thread are 30+ yrs old. Give it a rest? Who *** cares what you've killed. It's always been about bots. Drop Odin kills or AV kills that doesnt require you to set a time for it to claim automatically for you.

I just hope the new gear isn't newly coloured Lv45 iron ram armor, or some lime green Iron Musketeers.

its going to be pink subligar set

Is it strange I wouldn't mind The Return of The Subligar?

I always found them amusing =]

Bought and currently waiting on seeing what SE is willing to show off on the Abyssea - Scars page as far as rewards go (almost set in mind the AF3, if not I'll be shocked). The only thing I have high hopes for as far as the gear goes, is that they don't just mesh similar jobs together on gear (ex. WAR/PLD-maybe DRK, PUP/MNK, DNC/THF...etc.)

I know a lot of work and a lot more space taken up for said gear if you have multiple jobs you're working towards, but I do like the individual look of AF for each job. On top of that, being able to put stats on gear without wasting a possible "slot" for another stat that wouldn't be used for the like job (wouldn't want pet stats cluttering up gear mnk would use, when it might leave room for another useful stat for mnk)

As far as XIV coming out soon goes, I've resolved myself that once I reach the point where XI is no longer entertaining and/or becomes too "high maintenance" to get anything done, I will be done with MMO's all together.

JP killed it long ago probably, BG is full of gimps don't you know ?

The first abyssea content is going to be outdated in 1 month. You will have to toss all the rare/ex from the previous update and hope some level80 will buy your non rare ex ***in september. I call this empty content. Stop licking SE's balls when all they want is getting the maximum of € from you untill FFXIV is released, hence why this update is so early.

Everything gets outdated over time, with new gear coming out some of the older stuff is finally being out dated. Does that mean that it has become empty content? No, it just means that SE finally realized that it's time to offer players an upgrade to some new gear instead of reusing lower lvl stuff (looks @ swift belt). While the gear is still good, it's become a piece of stepping stone gear, great to have for the lvl range that it's been top notch, but eventually gets tossed aside like old clothes.

I honestly don't understand the views of ppl and what they expect out of a $10 add-on. Ppl should have learned from the previous 3 add-ons, that we weren't going to get any new areas, and in fact a lot of reskinned old stuff except for the rewards weren't just reskinned .dats. I can understand why ppl would be upset like in the case of WotG's story line, where they milked it (and still are apparently since they not finishing Missions this update like stated @ fan fest) From experiencing Visions, you pretty much know what to expect from Scars and Heroes, so you either realize you're not gonna dish out $20 more dollars for the add-ons or you will.

Also by early, you mean by a week or 2? Cause last time I checked update was scheduled for Sept just like the other 3 months for each update.




The reasoning isn't a rush, it's most likely based on a technical decision. God knows SE messes up something that was working fine before update, so they place XI's update early in month so they don't have update to fix AND most likely the ***storm of mistakes with launch bugs/fixes for XIV.

I would agree with you *IF* this transitionnal gear (76-80) was actually easy and fast (pleonasm) to get, like if you could have time to equip it before the next level cap increase comes.


Reports of 10/10 shaolin belt (the junk drop) and 0/10 bullwhip belt (the good one) shows that SE doesn't want you to get these items before level 99 pretty much, so this update is "a 50% faster 200k EXP". 2 days for 200k EXP in a bad AB party vs 1 day in a bad abyssea ally, k, empty nutshell.
