"Chains of Promathia" info

[Jonnyram]

What Famitsu says:
- The new add-on disc for FFXI will be released this Fall (in Japan, at least, though I think localisation is happening simultaneously).
- The story will not connect with Zilart directly.
- You can install Promathia without Zilart.
- If you have experienced Zilart, you'll get more out of Promathia.
- Promathia introduces a number of new modes of transport. Pictured in the new issue of Famitsu is a boat, as well as airborne transport.
- 40 or more new areas will be included.
- No plans for more additional jobs.
- No plans to increase the level or skills.
- The world map will become complete with this add-on.

What I say:
I hope they add some new monsters... getting sick of fighting the same old stuff. Not the paltry amount they added in Zilart, but a big, huge amount, please.

It seems like theyre going to have to add more monster types, since theyre making new areas and probably a handful of quests/missions for promathia storyline. The areas and quests alone doesn't seem expansion worthy, they better be adding something decent.

[John Doe III]

They need to add new areas or replacement areas to the already over populated areas. They keep adding new places for high levels....only...They need to add some new jobs or abilites to make this expansion worthy to get otherwise people wont buy it (doh).

[Cyrus99]

There needs to be some more job abilities and job traits, and I don't understand how the story has nothing to do with Zilart, but if you've played Zilart you'll get more from it :confused:

so.... they didn't add korolloka tunnel, the two jungles, east and west altepa, and a bunch of other places? Before the expansion at some levels there were very very few places to level, so I have no clue what you're talking about.

Seen the amount of worms to fight in Korolloka lately? About 8-10 no? Well if 3 PT's are there that area is packed and everyone will be camping those worms till one pops. Seen Valk? Of course you could camp out anywhere, trees, other trees, entrance, selbina entrance, all of the beaches, and other places..but if you haven't noticed they all have PT's in them. Outside Kazham..it's packed, seen Batallia leveling lately? LOL ....that's pathetic.

Now, I wasn't complaining about Altepa...there is plenty of places to camp and level there. All I was saying was that there needs to be more low leveling spots becuase of the massive amounts of PT's. Then maybe the PT's will spread out a little bit and it wont be such an ass to level.

If the expansion does nothing new I will officially quit the game.

omg yes

While it may discourage some that so far there's no announcement for new jobs, I hope it means that the dev's will take a serious and long look at the jobs that already exist and put all they're energy into that.

The higher level melee levels need to be looked into it seems.

[vagtark]

they will add the same looking monster as the others , but just give it a different name, and a new color. -_-

[Nodoka]

>they will add the same looking monster as the others , but just give it a different name, and a new color. -_-

Probably. I wouldnt actually mind fighting crabs the entire game, if they added some variety. As in they were in different colors and made bigger/meaner looking the higher level they were.

According to 1 up, there would be areas that are 3d. The current areas we have, are basically limited to forward, backwards, left right, not really any hills or things like that. You can kind of argue that altepa has some sand dunes, but the maps are still very linear. 1up also mentioned no new abilities, but many new areas. I'm pretty excited that this game would add some non-linear maps in the game, but it would be quite nice if they did add new monsters, especially good exp monsters from lvl 50+ because I think we're all sick of crabs.

[Apoc]

Wonder what new NMs and items they will add :sweat:

[lun4tic]

Areas that are 3D? What am I playing in?

I don't really understand that. Ronfaure has hills, Meriphitaud has hills. It all looks 3D to me. Is 1UP smoking something, or am I missing something?
