I'd do this. A HTBF where you fight Divine Might, but instead of Ark Angels, it's a GM of each race.

Galka, Mithra, Elvaan, or Tarutaru GM. I'd love to see the day.

Sadly, GMs are Hume M or Hume F only.

Here's hoping 119 level K club as possible drop.
Pls no. I don't want to have to farm a mandatory sub 1% drop rate weapon.

Thoughts on what it might be? Adoulin content possibly?

I think you’re onto something with Adoulin, and I’ll guess Hades! (first?)

As others mentioned, we’ve seen all the other full expansions represented. Since Abyssea and VW are more “battle content” my guess is they won’t be the inspiration for a new high tier fight.


Also… any guesses on a theme for drops? Obviously there are other drops in each fight, but the previous 4 feel like the highest profile drops focused on a particular role:
- Odin leaned more toward heavy DD (head body GS Polearm)
- Cait more pet jobs (head earring ring)
- Alex more tanky stuff (body shield neck)
- Lilith obviously light DD (malignance armor set)

What about mostly baseless speculation on drops, anybody think we may see a different niche from this new fight?
- Nuke gear? (But devil’s advocate, nuking accessories have been pretty well distributed across the last 4 fights)
- Curing pieces?
- Ranged stuff? (But RNG COR did get Malignance, so…)
- Some particular niche like mage DT body, or maybe a high tier 18% movement speed option for some jobs without one? (the latter being my hope, but not holding my breath)

Will also be interesting to see if jobs that have been kinda neglected from the Selbina high tier drop pools get their turn. SAM and RUN come to mind as not having much of interest so far (particularly in not getting on the strong hybrid sets of Hjarrandi or Malignance)

Could also be the extra BCNM from the end of WoTG, one where you're with Lilisette against Gloomscale and Gloomtalon, a Zilant and a Gallu. That one has no reward apart from Atomos though... they'd have to come up with new things entirely.

What's the odds on them removing the loot changes from Odin/Lilith/Cait/Alex fights to be in line with the others? As I recall they were all classed as "new" HTMBs so D/VD were not guaranteed to drop anything.
It will be exactly the same as all of those and you will like it.

That's probably the only safe assumption: that this is gonna be a Selbina fight.
So expect it to barely resemble whatever the fight was originally, and to be *** for actually getting anything.

I agree with the Bahamut assumption, otherwise one of the ending SOA mission BCs beefed up. Hell, we could even use a new, harder version of the enemies in Sinister Reign.

Honestly hope they don't waste sr mobs on Htbf. Add harder difficulties to the event itself that gives more control over augments or something and maybe add a couple new things

Balamor or Hades is my guess. Something more substantial then their quest fights.

I'd like to see the Ebur models used. I kept an ebur body I got from nyzul thing a while back - but that doesn't exactly say anything for what battle/ext.

I could actually see SE doing something like making it the ygnas fight against the incursion NMs, since its locked behind 6 months of coalition assignments. They love to punish ppl for not having grinded things.

Is there a full list of every BCNM fight in the game, broken down by Storyline/Questline? I forget a few of the fights you guys are talking about

Not sure about a compiled list but the wiki mission lists denote BCNMs.

I am aware of that list. I didn't want to have to look under every single Mission storyline to find only the BCNMs. Was just looking for the name of every single BCNM fight, regardless of mission/story/quest/orb affiliation. I guess it makes sense it is broken up like that, as the BCNM page only lists the fights within that category as well.
