Heroes of Abyssea Now Available for Advance Purchase! (11/24/2010)

[Eldelphia]

Mad speculation in other thread, is that it might be Shinryu.

[Jeryhn]

Until Thorny finds out how to kill it with a MNK and a WHM.

Not to worry, Prishe is both!

[Pebe]

wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf lol
This looks so awesome, I can't wait. I'm kind of disappointed that the new bosses are just reskins. They better have super powerful hyped up, 1 shot entire allaince abilities.
I am happy though that reskins are some of the tougher families. All in all, I'm very excited for the update.

[mdkuser]

That ending part, i can just tell thats going to be one hell of a boss... Either a manageable mission boss, or a super-wiping mega-death boss.

Until Lvl 99.

Fixed

FFXIV is the best thing that ever happened to XI.

hahahaha

anyone know the name of the song used btw?

[Spira]

the 2 tracks featured in the trailer are entirely new.

[drwaffles]

Amazing. Hope the first track is the battle theme for Heroes areas, I really liked it. The mob in Empyreal Paradox looks like a cross between Nidhogg and some kind of Leviathan-esque sea serpent... reminded me of FFX's Evrae a little bit. Very exciting promotional video.

My only gripe is that they're re-using Khim/Cerb/Hydra for the... 6th time? 8th if you count Nyzul 60, 80 and 100 separately. Ah well, at least they're reskinned!

[Spira]

yeah.. first time they're being reskinned, which is kinda interesting..
also I'd always wanted them to bring ToAU hnms to Abyssea... glad they did..

yeah.. I think the first track is the battle theme for Heroes areas.. maybe it'll get a new area theme as well, who knows..
the 2nd one sounds like battlefield music, possibly one that was done especially for the Abyssea last boss...

[Malacite]

The Empyreal Paradox... what a fitting place to end it all.

I wonder if this means people will have to be completed CoP (and who knows what else?) to finish it? O.O maybe this is the final ending for "The Last Verse" that we've been waiting for? Probably not, but it's fun to speculate lol. Between the epic new music, fucking Prishe coming back <3 and Empyrean Armor, yeah I'm ordering my copy right the hell now.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole cataclysm crap that's happened to Abyssea is a result of the Zilart's screwing around. After all wasn't Al'taieu both inside another dimension and Vana'diel? Between that and Bahamut who knows kind of extra-planar shenanigans could have gone on.

[drwaffles]

I'm guessing finishing CoP at least will be a pre-requisite. If not then the whole "Prishe returns" thing is going to feel a bit too thoughtlessly fan-servicey.

[dejet]

... really SE fuck bring back CoP? god I hate them so much. Almost makes me want to start back up my account LOL

Maybe it's Shinryuu? He's only appeared in FF5 and I think 1 or 2 others. Kinda fitting too since in 5 he was some kind of super powered freak monster that existed only within the Void.


EDIT: Even if it is fan service I don't care, <3 Prishe.

[Hyan]

Shinryuu is almost the new cait sith.

[SephYuyX]

Since this is SE, and speculation is always fun, im thinking the 2nd part of the trailer is more of a final final boss, thats not related to Abysssea; after all it was after the 'credits'. Like ApocN. with RotZ and CoP, this might be a new one where you need to be on The Last Verse, and the end of WotG. It could just be a teaser trailer for the Dec update.

And surprised no one brought up the final monster looking like Atomos, you know with the whole tail thing, and looking like a Maw.

[Lucavi]

Looks really good. The only thing that got to me in the vid was the awkward pauses by the characters after every WS. They just stand there and get raped.

[TehKerm]

Hopefully these last zones pose a challenge to level 99 players or we are gonna get bored quickly when the spam fests begin.

But the most important thing ever, Prishe <3

[Spira]

I'm guessing finishing CoP at least will be a pre-requisite. If not then the whole "Prishe returns" thing is going to feel a bit too thoughtlessly fan-servicey.

probably not.

requirements state just zilart and wotg registered to play this one... but then again it might just refer to the 3 basic areas..

i still think this isn't the real prishe we're looking at but Prishe [A].. but its still cool to see her again
