Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 625 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 625 Donate  | Lack of different mob models Is it just me, or does FFXI have an unusually low number of different mob models? I started out in San d'Oria, fighting rabbits, goblins, and sheep in East and West Ronfaure. Moved on to La Theine, where there are rabbits, goblins, and sheep. Moved to Valkrum Dunes, and found rabbits, goblins, and sheep. Had a look into Jugner Forest, and saw rabbits, goblins, and sheep. You get the picture.
Sure, there are some more than 3 models, but the total amount of them is quite limited. When you move from one zone to the next, you've already seen most of the new mobs, and only get 1 or 2 new ones. I'm a bit disappointed. |  | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 12-12-2003, 12:46 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,655 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

You're life is revolved around those models. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 12-13-2003, 10:26 AM | #3 (permalink) | | Senior Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: Tokyo, Japan Posts: 1,314 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 28 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 28 Donate | Welcome to the world of MMORPG's!
Most seem to have this problem, and there's not much that will be done about it I'm sure, save for the occasional expansion pack, etc.
Some games have a ton of models. EQ had a wide range of models, but after playing for 2~ years, it basically came down to the same thing...Target mob and kill it.
In the end you'll be doing the same no matter what the model.
Enjoy!

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 71 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 71 Donate | Thank god they are animated well. This is a common problem in MMORPGs for some reason. I cant count how many Bats, Goiblins, and Froglocs I killed in EQ. At least the FF ones are well animated. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 12-23-2003, 10:43 AM | #10 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2003 Posts: 15 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Until many many many expansion evrquest consisted of.
bears, snakes, cats, orcs, bees and skeletons
