Somebody go make Rin do rot. That's shameful. Even I've done rot.
the best part will be having to hold DPS on the various mobs at different health percentages and having to remember which phase is pushed at which point.
I'm a tank, I never have to learn rot!
I can't wait to see that enrage animation destroy us.
I get the feeling we're going to fight something like the SOUL OF BAHAMUT or something to that effect. The actual bahamut is simply too large to be anything other than window dressing to a smaller scale battle we're having. Hopefully it doesn't end up like that GW2 dragon fight, that was oh ho ho so bad.
I find it hard to believe that Third Coil and the entire 2.0 era's last boss is going to be the one teased at the end of Second Coil considering nobody actually cares about him, but feel free to disappoint me Yoshi!!!!
Oh I can definitely see us facing a part of him at the end of this coil, but I can't see him being revived completely and us fighting that like someone said.Yeah, fair play, the only other game I can think of where he's close is FFIX. Still, dude's made out of aetheric energy- his size is mutable, and his power has already been constrained once. Fighting an avatar of him isn't completely out of the question, and he is the biggest face of ARR (lord knows no-one else is stepping up to be a main villain, with the empire currently a non-factor and the Ascians content to go back to standing behind people in a sinister manner).

You have a bard.
With better boots than me.
Shut up and go do rot. Your e-honor is at stake.
MMO story lol
I enjoy it but let's not pretend it matters much.
Edit: also, main storyline Hero of Light doesn't have time for Bahamut, they are too busy passing out uniforms.
Passing out uniforms, repeating FATEs and cooking stew for soldiers is part of Yoshi's deep and meaningful JRPG plot, please don't mock.
I play this game for the Minfilia plot.
And all of her backstory, along with the nice backstory window?
MMO story lol
.
Spoilers:
So, let me get this straight. Alisaie is the only one who actively gives a shit about what is going down in these massive parts of Dalamud. Discovers that her Grandfather is very much active in Dalamud, and is now threatening to kill her and resurrect Bahamut...and no one else in Eorzea gives a shit?! Word doesn't reach the other Scions, the city states, Garleans, or anyone else?! How is this not the main story here? Instead, we're running around, fighting weak ass Primals, witnessing how useless the City States actually are and how they let a little Lalafell gain control of another Allegan Weapon (really? The Alliance didn't think to search every single nook and cranny to barricade everything that has to do with Allagan digs after Ultima?). A weapon that the Scions continue to actively ignore after Nanamo spits everything out to Alphi in a plot dump, yet it was never mentioned again.
Actually, laying it all out. I'm surprised anything actually gets done in Eorzea. Nevermind. All these characters wouldn't be able to contribute much in Coil anyway. Carry on. =)
One of those pictures looks like we could end up with stupid platform hopping mechanics like from ST. Please no.
Could be another illusion, or some sort of auto repair system.
I hope not, I want the expansion to be a completely new story instead of rehashing Bahamut again. Any fight with a complete version of him would seem so unrealistic to me to begin with, his freaking hand is the entire T5 arena and he shrugged off all of the Twelve being summoned to contain him. I know people will bring up Deathwing now but even that was a stretch, look at how many hoops they had to jump through to make that have any kind of canonical sense, and that was with there being a reasonable weakness for him before he became a potential boss (also orc jesus). Any sort of weakness on Bahamut would feel shoehorned to me at this point if we don't stop him here.
Everything following this is just speculation obviously. There are two remaining coils, but only one dungeon. I think we may end up at one of those console things from t5/t9 early in Third Coil, possibly guarded byand once we flip the switch shit gets serious and Bahamut goes all out to prevent us from turning off the final coil and halting his recovery. This is the ultimate encounter, either againstLouisoixif we hadn't already fought them or against a whole ton of random crap as Bahamut is using up his remaining aether attempting to stop the wonder twins. If you look at the area surrounding Bahamut, there are a ton of floating platforms, perfect place for an encounter as we hold him off long enough to turn the final coil off and he essentially fades away like other primals do.Louisoix
If he actually gets complete and escapes I have no idea what we could possibly do to stop him. It would take something ridiculous like Zodiark eating him for it to ever make sense for him to go down, and that would be so anticlimatic. There's also the issue of what is stopping him from doing this again, as there are (presumably) other pieces of Dalmaud out in the world. He could just fly to another and repair anytime we do any kind of damage to him.
I'll repeat all the FATEs forever if both the twins die. Don't know what it is but I can't stand either of them.
Put some glamour items in the GAF FC chest. Please share nicely. o/
Ahaha that's exactly what it is... Yoshida why.

Can we go to the moon and fight FFIV bosses yet?
I honestly thought we were going into a spaceship initially since the elevator area was called Ragnarok iirc. That would have been awesome.
They are spaceships. But aside from an offhand mention that they are they never say what Allag used them for other than having them docked in Dalamud so that it looks edgy. They'd probably fly too, considering they survived embedding themselves miles into Eorzean land.
Yeah but I don't want to fly around in a giant ADS ball D:
Allags were too obsessed with giant red balls imo. Hopefully there's something else there that isn't a giant red ball to fly around in.
No-no, the Ragnarok model itself isn't a giant ball. Walk down to Alder Springs from Fallgourd and you can see a side of the ship sticking out. I think there's one more visible in The Burning Wall as well.
Those Japanese characters translate to "enrage" the enrage timer is 120 minutes and yes, the fight takes that long.
I'm game. I'll need all of the rest of our static to play FFXI before they made it easy to understand long fight pain in preparation!
In all seriousness, I remember spending 1-2 hours on single fights in that game. I think when we first started doing Jailer of Love, it took that long. FFXI didn't have an enrage timer until some linkshell spent 24hrs trying to kill a boss called Pandemonium Warden. Then they had to add a patch so people didn't die in their chair lol
Hmmmm trying to figure out what to take to Fan Fest to get signed. Anyone else bringing anything?
All I can think of is the 1.0 CE and this:
I almost wanted to say something involving ebola, but Opiate will probably drift in and divebomb meBuy the art book there and get it signed. That's what I'd do if I was going

In any case there was no Shiva theme yet last live letter, right? Just the arena?
Why are we still using swords when we are dealing with and defeating the remnants of a civilization so advanced that they had genetic experiments and spaceships? Where are the laser guns?

Why use laser guns when you can literally conjure a variety of small explosions and contagious diseases without breaking a sweat.

The chocobo has landed, I repeat, the chocobo has landed.
Some of us still have to use Swords, Shields, Axes, Claws, and Lances.
Coil 3 weapons will be laser equipped. Look forward to it.
