Our Time NMs in the past

[Feon]

1st off I dont have WoG yet, so I'm not 100% sure on all the areas open in the past but I was wondering if there was any thing in Sandy that talked about two NMs in Bostaunieux Oubliette Drexerion the Condemned and Phanduron the Condemned. I'd always wondered there back story/history but its never talked about any where so I was wondering if they talk about it in WoG. Thanks :D

(Note sure if this is the right spot to ask move if need, this also subject title can be change if need be)

I haven't seen anything yet, but kind of NM related...

I wonder if you kill NMs in the past in Campaign if it slows/stops their spawning in the future? =o

Interesting. I do wonder whether they have drops or are just named for the sake of storyline. Also can't help but lol at Bakgodek's namechange.

Kinda makes sence tho-- back then he was a Conqueoror, and he worked his way up to become the next Overlord in 20 yrs.

As for Gnadgad, I just want his gloves!

[Caestus]

this expansion... even tho it seems to be... um? i dunno Lacking, small, not many new areas. (only seems big because you have to fucking run everywehre) but aside from that: i think they did a fantastic job, really makes you feel as if you are in the middle of a War. i love it it's great and i'm glad i got to experiance it on day 1. unlocked i think 5 of the 9 Maw now

did they check impossible to guage? i ran into yagudo high priest in meri mountains, conned T iirc

[Kidzukai]

I think they were probably impossible to gauge; they came with Campaign so I didn't really bother to /c it. I only soloed it down to about 80% before my evasion failed me. >|

GET YOU SOME GI

[Eldelphia]

I've seen the Headhunter NM you have to get a drop from for rank 5 in Campaign in Grauberg.

They're campaign mobs, probably just representing their place in the story, but SE did say that doing things in the past would affect the future in terms of killing mobs and there being fewer in the future.

Also, as for the minimal content, there are screenshots of things like the Northlands, so I would prepare for more content.

[Bariss]

I don't have the expansion yet, but i look at it like this.

The future we are in now, is set in stone. It's the way it is now because of the actions we had already done in the past. So thats why mobs in WoTG aren't in the present. Mobs won't go missing which are in the present now, like... Goobbues if we killed an important goobbue in the past for example lol.

Like poisonhand whatshisface, we obviously wont be able to kill him off in WoTG, because he's in the present. Meaning we won't be able to defeat him for good.

I hope that makes sense, thats just how i see it. :D

but SE did say that doing things in the past would affect the future in terms of killing mobs and there being fewer in the future.

I looked at that as meaning, mobs like the ladybugs, (Fairy-type mobs xD) etc won't survive WoTG and thus aren't in the future. I dunno though lol, talking about past effecting the present is confusing.

[Valkrish]

My only thought, is the past the only place where you can release pixies?

or can you do the same in present day vanadiel?

[Zidana]

Squire Crabs at KA spawn

[Palin@Ramuh]

you mean by the Prince Arthos spawn?

[BRP]

I don't you think you often "kill" anything in FFXI, only "defeat".

[DanielRemora]

I think it's only possible to die in a cutscene

[Sagacious Sundi]

I think it's only possible to die in a cutscene

It's simple RPG physics.

EDIT: Speaking of NMs, is that Di'Dha Adamantfist or whatever supposed to be Za'Dha's bro?

[Shabazz]

Sorry to bump this old thread! Found it interesting -

I lol'd at Overlord Bakgodek's past name, I would also like to see how killing the past NM's have an effect on the present if there is any! - Do you think they are going to include detailed background stories to three Beastmen kings? I would like to know Bakgodek's one, I've been camping him in the present for ages. I know he eventually got retreated to Monastic Cavern where he had to be sealed in with a magic barrier by that Taru-taru(forgot name), he must of been big trouble in the past and caused huge problems!, which makes me wonder if they will have each nation fight the kings as a BCNM mission(i think up crap). I do hope they plan to open up Monastic Cavern / Davoi - Would be cool to fight the Past versions in their territory instead of Campaign


p.s. Lucky to see his Slam Dunk not do over 1,400+! Still usually a 1 shot move of his - Its nice to see it land on rmt scum.

[saskiot]

ummm they are there yes if u read what npc and cs say u will know they fought in the war. The nm were there and made names for themselves among the beastman. The gobs yags orcs and quadav. some ppl think its a rank but if u read around what they say about the war u will see alot of nm names in some of the biggest and worst battles they had.
