I remember fighting world HNM's like Serket and King Behemonth do you guys/gals think they will be in this game as well?

This has to be a Bubblin Bernie joke...

Gotta say the monsters look just as good in-game as on the website, but some of the area textures look really out of place. The plants in that cave for example. The rocks and ground looks great though.

I agree completely. The games detail is very amazing compared to what I've seen in the past in other MMO's. My ONLY negative comment is the glistening/shiny/wet "look" everything has on it during certain weather & time conditions. Also the full blue effect at night, or with overcast reminds me of Gustaberg in WOTG. Which I can't stand since it bleeds into my eyes.

No he really ran into it. But when he tried to get screens before the fight it capped his pidgin window instead. And then he had to run away cause it was raping him when he was a level 8 or 9 marauder.

He thought he could've taken it if he had had a healer
but we'll never know

[Celeras]

Malboro is モルボル in Japanese if anyone thinks they see one again. Don't get me excited, definitely my favorite mob and from the CG looks like its gonna be badass this time around

Just form a huge PT next time and go own it. See what it drops, or if it's just a higher level Mob I guess. Was he able to see if it was checking or anything like a NM?

there is no /check in FFXIV

So what color does your Target icon have to be for it to be a NM?

If a goat is hitting for 500 dmg pretty sure that a crabs going to kill you and some friends.

[Kirb]

Yeah, no /check. I believe the color of the dot next to the mob 'party' name denotes 'Easy Prey/Decent Challenge/Tough' etc.

Red = Incredibly Tough
Orange = Very Tough
Yellow = Tough
Green = Decent Challenge
Blue = Easy Prey

That hard? Whoa. That's interesting to know. Are the Sheep putting people to sleep a lot still?

[Spoony]

Looks like the pics are up on Cair's site. I think

Edit: Thank you guys

[Lunarhawk]

My same friend ran into door mice (look like rats) that hit for 1100
