Drama already at page 3? :o

Or I could be totally wrong and they really are going full Aztec here like what you're all getting at (dem feathers).
Bird chick could be Quetzalcoatl easily. FF always takes artistic liberties with mythology (Shiva, masculine God of Destruction with a laser beam in his third eye = Shiva, sexy queen of ice?) but it's a possibility.

Let's try to lay off the meta-discussions here, it's clogging up potential Gilgameshism.
That mob is likely to be Gilgamesh, or an homage at least (Pirate Gilgamesh throws everything off here). Voidwalking?
On the other hand, I'm still sticking with the whole "hindu" thing. Our multi-armed friend could easily be an Asura, another vague FF figure yet to be seen in FFXI aside from a server name.
Win-win situation, could be a shout out to both at the same time.

It very well could be, but generally Asura is shown having multiple faces, while this new NM only has one.

Any one else think of mortal kombat?
Actually thats probably Ghilgamesh
considering he is in every ff game has more than two arms and is generally a badass
Also finally some new content that won't be Abyssea all the *** time.
I don't know... I, too, wish that mob was Gilgamesh, but after looking upon it some more an idea came to me. The four great katanas the mob is holding is a texture swap of Masamune and the armor is more reminiscent of Samurai Empyrean armor. Perhaps players will engage Empyrean armors inhabited by spirits or simply these mobs are what inspired our Abyssean armor sets (plot-wise)?

I was hoping I wouldn't be the only one seeing Unkai in that picture. I can't really think of a reason SE would put it on a NM unless maybe there will be something better than +2 emp armor. maybe these new NMs will be fought for a +3 emp armor? I can only doubt this because the +2 already have a set effect.
isnt gilgamesh already in the game? why would they add more of him?

look up "Argus". Its an NPC in bastok, and an NM. Its shown that SE can name an NM after an NPC.
For all we know, the Gilgamesh we think this NM is, Could be Gilgamesh from the Interdenominational Void. It could very well happen!

I'm thinking we will see a +3 emp armor at some point but i doubt it would be this... I think they said there were 12 or 16 (heading to be so dont have time to double check) so falling short of all 20 jobs.
Finally something to look forward too ;x
just throwing this out there. Anyone else see a dark ifrit in that picture besides me? Maybe this "void" will have something to do with the avatars.

Hmm...synthesis skillcap adjustment....wonder what that's all about?

Upon defeat the NM will drop fully upgraded Emp armor pieces and weapons for those ppl who dont feel like farming the NM's for the items.

I hope they don't lock this thread too.

So it looks like SE is pulling a blizzard with the Voidwatch system and pulling good ideas from other companies to vamp their current game up.
From SE about voidwatch system.
In Voidwatch, bands of six to eighteen members will square off against “Voidwalkers,” savage entities that have breached planar bounds to invade multiple landscapes spanning past and present. By slaying these manifestations of terror, you and your stalwart comrades will gradually come to discover the true nature of the threat that has all of Vana’diel up in arms.
From Trion's Rift.
Treacherous and powerful, these rifts occur when another plane of reality intersects with the magical Ward protecting Telara. Rifts create doorways for planar invasion, destroying the lands and people of Telara, but they may also grant otherworldly power to those brave enough to seize it.
So voidwatch event = a rift in the game Rift just with a SE twist?
So if there is some kind've lure to provoke these battles(maybe getting enough KS's or something), it'll be almost exactly like it.

For the "Voidwatch Emerges" banner, it's a close-up of the Unkai armor looking mob.
As you can see, its menpou is missing exposing the glowing eyes and skeleton face.

You sure it's just not FFXI rehashing the same tired 'dimension invaders' plot element since VNMs 2009?
Everything since then has been "WELP THERE'S THESE BAD GUYS FROM AN ALTERNATE WORLD WATCH OUT". That, or moogles. Damn moogles.
edit: oops 2010.

At first i was like... 95 all the way in *** AUGUST?! and then i realized i have no time to play with moving, new job training, and shopping for the new home/organizing.....
EXTRA excited about several features obviously in there. The ability to take a second craft to 100 is a nice touch honestly. AH merge finally + NPC's in other nations for abyssea yes preeez.
Oh and where the *** is my atma saved lists?!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Also concerning the SAM looking mob with 4 arms and the Garuda looking mob....
I wonder if they will make super mega mobs that are tied to a related job and look similar. Epic idea actually.

The bird mob that's in the May update pic section looks more like a harpy to me but idk. Just going on what you'd find in other SE games to draw a reference to. (Breath of Fire 2, Final Fantasy 4/6 I'm sure there are others)

I'm overly excited tbh..I try to take everything from SE with a grain of salt..the whole fool me once thing.
But lately it seems like SE has been listening to its players alot more and I haven't been disapoint for a while now.
