FINAL FANTASY 14 ARR ( FISHING FULL GUIDE)

2013-11-18T20:36:00.000-08:00

First , I would like to thank you some of you who donate me a can of beer. It pretty help me to motivate myself to keep on writing article on FF14 and other gaming online. Thanks alots!

For once,I really love fishing in Final Fantasy 14 ARR. I never imaging that there is such activities after Lineage2. Furthermore,this is most profitable side-job that SquareEnix can offer. You do not need any crystal or raw material or lots gils to start with. This job also offer you the faster side job to lvl 50 in just matter of 30- 50 hour game play. Maybe less. It really a good start to fresh new comer how just join FF14 ARR and have no friends to start with. and more It is less tedious and much more interesting.You can even spend a good time with family watching TV, Movie while letting your controller vibrate as notification for you.

If you get drunk or high, this fishing is the best as you will sit there and fish while enjoying some music from your PC/PS3 or any devices. I usually spend 5-6 hour per week on fishing. I start this job late too as I was into leadership and blacksmith and yet FISHING job level 50 before others.

Please do comment/suggestion to improve this blog for better reference in future! Of course fund raise or can of beer is much appreciated

Here some great tips from me to you all and HOPE it will guide you well:

1) Fishing based on:

Gathering Affects your rate of landing a catch. If you find yourself failing to reel in fish and are of adequate level for your location you should consider upgrading your equipment.

Perception Affects your HQ catch rate. This is just as important for leveling up. You gain an additional 300% XP on top of the base XP earned.

*Say GP is useless as Fisher but consider fishing near Mining or Harvesting points to use your accumulated GP by increasing Gathering Yield. Why not grab some shards while out in the field!? You not losing anything on it.

2) Condition

Fishing is affected by:

Weather

Time of day

Moon Phase, time etc

Sunny day at Costa.

3) Gain More Experince

I used Jack-o'-lantern most of the time.to keep a constant 3% Exp boost and +6 Perception.
- Additional EXP boost from Leve and while you are rest at Inn also help you a lots.

4) The Skill of Actions.

Fishing Actions

Fishing Passive Skills

Old Gridania

This is Lightning's Story:

Taverns across Eorzea are abuzz with talk of a mysterious warrioress slaying creatures then vanishing as quickly as she appears. With rumors spread so far and fast, I thought this was perhaps the foretelling of another great adventurer, an heir to the warriors of light. Brief dialogues with those who have glimpsed upon her, however, have regrettably left me with more questions than answers.

When asked to describe her appearance, my informants swore that her garments were unlike anything ever to be woven or forged in the realm. More concerning, however, was her weapon—a strange blade that also serves as a firearm. Far be it from this humble scribe to question one who would protect Eorzea's people, but only the Garlean Empire has been known to wield weaponry of such bizarre form and function. Coupled with battle prowess said to leave even the most accomplished of adventurers in awe, one cannot help but wonder where her allegiance lies.

Under the assumption we are dealing with an adventurer whose exploits have remained unnoticed, I took it upon myself to consult with the Adventurer's Guild. Surely, I surmised, a heroine of such high caliber would have registered with the guild before running headlong into dangers unknown. And yet, no matter which branch of the Adventurer's Guild I visited, the answer was the same. No one in their records matches the description of this nameless crusader.

With so much left unanswered, there is perhaps no better place to unravel this mystery than on the battlefields where she is said to appear. Stay alert on your travels, dear reader, that you may find the answer to the burning question on everyone's lips.

Rewards:

NOTE:

From completing the quest "For the Winsome" players will gain access to a new hairstyle from the aesthetic scheduled for implementation in patch 2.1.

Feel Free to drop me a comment or suggestion. Please donate to me a can of beer if you think my guide is useful enough. Coming up next I will guide you how to fish as I think the best way to fish.

FINAL FANTASY 14 ARR ( ODIN HM FULL GUIDE)

2013-11-13T19:09:00.000-08:00

Explanation:

A fallen knight Odin aka Steel Reign roaming around at the Black Shroud. No ones know the truth of when or by whom this elder primal was first summoned into the world. Ever vigilant as he sits astride his mighty steed, Sleipnir, it is said that Odin is driven solely by the desire to do battle with worthy foes

"Up rose Odin, oldest of gods,

and on Sleipnir the saddle laid:

to the nether world rode, to Niflhel dark."

Odin is a level 50 Fate Boss and can be found in North Shroud, Central Shroud, East Shroud, and South Shroud

Step 1: PREPARATION

This battle is against a level 50 Odin. Usually consist more than 8 party in this fight. Do not attempt to fight it alone. The best to survive is with your party ( which they hired you automatically temporary)

There is no best recommendation for far for party. Usually we just seek and destroy Odin with at least 2 healer in party. This battle is a massive battle like Bahemoth.

The fight time: 10-18 minutes.

Easy spot:

When Odin spawns the shroud surround gets black atmosphere effect.

Step 2: The Fight of Fate

Odin will summon several weapons in battle. Your priority is to defeat any weapons he summons as quickly as possible before he unleashed final attack. When HP is drawn near to 1% - 5% , Odin will use Zangetsu (Odin's Ultimate weapon). Odin will unleash his hell skill if you did not beat him within specific amount of time given.His skill will usually initiate 6500- 9000 damage which usually kill the entire party near him. Yupe.. entire party!!

After defeated, Odin fight getting harder and harder as he will increasing 1 level each defeat.. As remember,there was a 14-16 party during 6th fights with Odin, and all party been wipe out with just Zangetsu Shock Slash. I was KOed instantly with damage nearly 8000+ while my HP only 4215 ( Yes, I am dragoon). Odin use counter attack too. So beware of it . His frontal cleave is actually over 180 degrees, he can kill people on the side too.

Little advise: Please do not use any LB before it reach 3 stage MAX!! Do not too near Odin , even Odin need a space of his own privacy.

Step 3 Odin's Skill

1) Vaulknut,

2) Steel Reign

3) Hall of Steel

4) Hall of Stone(20 Sec paralysis)

5) Hall of lead

6) Hall of Sorrow

7) Zanketzuken ( Final Shock Slash)

LOOTS AND REWARDS:

Odin's Mantle
Gold Reward	Silver Reward	Bronze Reward
3	1	0

After 5x Odin's Mantle, you can change to any these:

Any comment are welcome and I will telling you next on Bahemoth fight is for me was most easy way to kill it on coming blog. STAY TUNES!!

FINAL FANTASY 14 ARR ( IFRIT HM FULL GUIDE)

2013-11-12T05:41:00.000-08:00

Explanation:

- Seriously saying that Ifrit and Shiva is my favorite guardian of all time. Writing how to beat them up is really ache in my heart. Anyway... I shall get on with it. The fight is very easy compare to Garuda and Titan. This fight exact the same fight as level 20 except you will have a full party (8 man) instead of a light party (4 man).

Lord of Inferno

Step 1: PREPARATION

It is advisable to get average party with normal equipment fighting. ( A few equipment from Amdapor Keep and lvl 50 weapon should hold against it)

Duration of fight: 8 minutes to 12 minutes or less

-Before start the fight, do what you need to do first cause this fight you do not have a pause where you can take a break after that.

Recommended: Tanks x2 ,Healers x2 DPSx2, Bard x1, BLMx1

Success rate: 97%. 3% failed is highly due party is not co-operating each others.

Tips:

-One Tanker should always at 12 clock tanking while other at 3 o'clock stunning ( shield bash) when there is eruptions.

- BLM is very important in this fight as their LB ( meteor) will be use for Nails.

Step 2 : PHASE and POSITIONS.

Ifrit HM only consists 3 phase:

Phase 1 : Game start. Keep tanker at 12 o'clock up. DPS on behind Ifrit's legs. After awhile it will cast fire breath, a knockback ( 20 step behind) followed by Eruption. Soon, it will cast the first Rush ability ( Ifrit alone then with clones x1) . This is keep continue till nails is appear. In here your LB should be 2-3 full or your never make it.

Ifrit cast Fire Breath.

Phase 2: 4 x Infernal Nails will spawn ( 3 on west, east , south corner while 1 at north corner and it usually blocked by Ifrit's tail.) BLM/SMN have a major task here as they will cast Meteor ( Limit Break) on these nails. while DpS and rest can help wipe out the rest of remaining nail's health.

BIG QUESTION( S) : What if our party do not have BLM/SMN??Can we wipe the nails too?

Answers : Yes, you can wipe out but you may need a good weapon before process. From my experience, DPS ( dragoon) could wipe at least 2 Nails before Ifrit cast HellFire. So, planing timing is important here.

Before Ifrit's cast HellFire, Healer should cast AOE Heal in group. That save lots of MaNa for next fight later.

Hell Fire.

Phase 3 : Eruptions now have ability to instant kill player(s). Avoid Plumes too as it deals 1700- 2400 HP damage.

****Memorize the plumes here: WALL->MIDDLE->EVERYWHERE.

This fight is repeating itself so usually DPS will cast LIMIT BREAK LVL 1 to end the fights.

1) Wall Plumes.

3) Anywhere Plumes.

2) Middle Plumes.

Step 3: Ifrit's Skill

1) Vulcan Buster

Very large AoE centered on Ifrit - low damage and huge knockback ( 20-25 step behind). No warning sign.

2) Incinerate

Core fire breath attack. Should only hitting Tank ( main) unless some hero dumb try to taste that hit.

3) Eruption

Heavy AoE damage like volcano eruptions. Ability target area warning by large areas of glowing cracked earth which are centered glowing directly. As the fight proceeds, eruptions became more and more damaging and instantly. Avoid at all cost. In phase 3 it instantly killing anyone on top of them. Be careful!!

4) ****Radiant Plume

Heavy AoE damage alike Weight of Land ( Refer Titan's skill Titan's skill ) , used when Ifrit HP below 75%. Ability target area warning by swirling lava circles on the ground. Three patterns:

-Outer Ring (Wall Plumes)

-Inner Area (Middle Plumes)

-Full Arena (Everywhere)

5) Crimson Cyclone

Ifrit charges rapidly forward straight across the arena, dealing severe damage to party in path. On phases, it will adds clones of Ifrit in this attack (two Ifrits below 75% HP, then three Ifrits in the final phase), each charging forward from its position starting with the Ifrit on the left with about one second between charges.

Crimson Cyclone usually go straight line.

6) Hellfire

Special ability, used only once. Deals very high AoE damage to entire party depending on the number of Infernal Nails left intact.. If there is a Nails, surviving in this fight will be became 50/50 chance.

LOOTS AND REWARDS:

Each player receives:

10 Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy

4 Allagan Tomestones of Mythology

The final treasure chest will add one of the nine Ifrit weapons to the pool at random:

Ifrit's Blade

Ifrit's Battleaxe

Ifrit's Claws

Ifrit's Harpoon

Ifrit's Bow

Ifrit's Cane

Ifrit's Cudgel

Ifrit's Grimoire

Ifrit's Codex

Sample of Ifrit's weapon.

Once you get your Ifrit's weapon and some Amdapor Keep Gear, It is time for you to move to next Primal - GARUDA.

Any comment are welcome and I will telling you next on Odin fight is for me was most easy way to kill it on coming blog. STAY TUNES!!

FINAL FANTASY 14 ARR ( Demon Wall FULL GUIDE)

2013-11-10T20:39:00.000-08:00


Demon Wall

Appearance

Amdapor Keep- appear as second boss.

Explanation

-the most annoying boss of the dungeon.

-Need a high-end gear equipment.Without it, you have hard time killing it. There is time limit to kill this boss as will kill you all instantly.

The Fight with Demon wall.

Memorize Pattern:

It is easy once you memorize the pattern:

1) Side> Middle > Side > Middle > Repel

2) Side> Middle > Side > Middle > Repel

3) Side> Middle > Side > Middle > Repel> Bee Appears x2

Be advise: DPS is best solution for Bee as they have DPS Limit Break while other Bee will be lure by Tanker temporary.

!!!!!: Do remind yourself that Demon Wall will cast Repel while you busy with the bees as you might end up fall down.

-Bees do cast a red circle AoE around them, which should be avoided. If you being hit by it, it will drain you HP drastically.

Once the bees die, attack on Demon Wall for same pattern till it is die.

FINAL FANTASY 14 ARR ( GARUDA HM FULL GUIDE)

2013-11-09T08:15:00.001-08:00

Explanation:

Most of player might think Garuda is kinda hardcore to conquer. However seriously, it more easy than Titan. All you need to do is look at your party and stay alive.I will do my best to try and explain it for you.So far, I never Koed by Garuda unless some party member is messing up entire team. This fight is gonna take short time ( depends how well you equipment is). Yup, she sexy too .

Step 1: PREPARATION

It is advisable to get good party with good equipment fighting in Garuda Hard Mode. ( Minimum 60 lvl )

Tips:

You don't have to stand directly behind the rock all the time.
maintaining rocksall the time after she does her teleport->you should jump out from Rock after that quickly. Reason: Prevent her skill further damage the rock.
More rocks = less damage taken during RECKONING.
-Slipstream IS AVOIDABLE. It isn't interruption but if you run right through her before she finishes casting you wont be given damage.

Duration of fight: 8 minutes to 14 minutes or less

-Before start the fight, do what you need to do first cause this fight you do not have a pause where you can take a break after that.

Recommended: Tanks x2 ,Healers x2 DPSx4
Success rate: 89% with Level 60 Equipment , 57.4% with Level 50 Equipment

Showing the jobs in category.

Step 2 : PHASE

Garuda HM only consists 3 phase:

Phase 1: In this phase, Rock/Pillar statue is very important and without it, Garuda could wipe the entire party with her Ulitmate Attack ( Reckoning )

Keep this stone available at all cost.

Phase 2 : Once Garuda slices your party into transition, the tank needs to immediately pull Garuda to the WEST side of the map, corner and tank as usual.

Green circles that will spawn tornadoes will appear around the arena. If you get hit by these it does a very large amount of damage, usually pull you away from party. This could possibly push you into another tornado, causing a chain and killing you pretty much instantly.

After 1- 2 minute, 'bodyguards' Garuda will spawn in this phase, one will have a red line being channeled to it, and another will have a green line.That mean 2 adds! My advise is kill the Chidara ( Green line) first cause it heals Garuda and will increase time to her down. LB usually needed here to prevent Garuda's HP from increase here.While Suparna ( Red line ) on second as she will increase Garuda attack and might wipe out some of your party member.

Phase 2

Phase 3 : Like in the normal fight the outside of the arena will now be covered by wave of wind, while the inside is where you’ll be fighting Garuda. Her adds will spawn here again. So, follow the phase 2 on Chidara first and Suparna. Healer have good time here as they cast AOE heals with help of bard ( if any)

Phase 3

Step 3: Garuda's Skill

There are 6 skill use by Garuda in the battle:

1) Slipstream/ DownStream

Slide wind attack (used frequently); used by Garuda, Chirada, and Suparna. Damages and briefly stuns all targets in AoE. Avoidable (move to the side/behind during ability readying).

2) Downdraft

Moderate conal damage (instant, unavoidable)

3) Wicked Wheel

Moderate AoE damage, centered on Garuda (instant, unavoidable)

4) Friction

Moderate AoE damage, centered on one random target and damage the Pillar/Rock (instant, unavoidable)

5) Mistral Song/Mistral Shriek

Only used during phase one (but can be used by Chirada/Suparna in phase two if left alive for too long). Garuda disappears, then reappears at another position on the battlefield (first north, then center, then east). After several seconds, she generates a powerful burst of wind which damages anyone who is not standing behind a rock pillar so that it breaks the line of sight to Garuda’s position (either radially outward from the center, or in one direction across the arena).

6) Aerial Blast/ The Reckoning

Special ability, used only once. Deals very high AoE damage to everyone depending on the number of rocks remaining when utilized. Essentially impossible to survive if fewer than three rocks are remaining, ideally six or more remaining to make it relatively easy to survive.

STEP 4: POSITION

The position is same as Garuda's story mode.

1) At the start of the fight have all your range dps and healer stack next to the far right side of pillar (North East). Tanker will tank her at where she is. (facing away). Party move behind the pillar next to the stacking position. Right after each slipstream, she will shortly cast thousand feathers and you have to kill adds fast before they destroy pillar stacks.

2) The second teleport will be at the center and she will cast mistral song.

3) The third teleport will be at the east of the map.

4) The fourth teleport will be at the center of the map

5) 5th teleport it will case Arial Blast aka The Reckoning (this does not effect where you stand you can still stand next to boss and take 1600-2500 damage) Take note that if all pillar was destroyed, change to survive is near 0.

At phase two- I already mention that you need to kill Chidara first before Suparna ( best using 2-3 DPS to kill them). After killed them both, move toward around the clock as she will summon flumes wind blow while using wicked wheel. So just slightly pull the boss as you go while having dps take care of flumes. Avoid the flumes if needed to as it will disappear after your party move to center.

At phase three she will use eye of the storm. (exactly same as in story mode) Becareful about her downstream while in the eye of the storm. She will also summon Chidara and Suparna once again into the fight.

Phase two and Three repeating until she is dead or your party is wipe out.

LOOTS AND REWARDS:

15 Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy

7 Allagan Tomestones of Mythology

FFXIV Titan Fight Guide

Step 1: PREPARATION

It is advisable to get good party with good experiencing fighting in Titan Hard Mode. Most people just rush in with level 45 Gear and weapons , ended up waste time on each others.

Sample of Dark Light's gear

Enlarge for more details on Garuda's weapon

Step 2 : POSITION

Titan HM divided into 5 phrase which I will tell later more details on Titan's skill but most important point is how you gonna survive for next phase.

Phase 1

- Usually all will gather together so healer able to cast AOE heal to all party.

Phase 2

-same as phase 1 but need to avoid Weight of Land ( WoL) aka Plumes ( from Ifrit)

Phase 3

- Start to separate randomly and keep eyes on WoL and Stone's Bomb.

Phase 4

- like ant style: You gather together so healer can cast AOE heal and move away before WoL appear.

Phase 5

-same as phase.

Here is the Diagram use for Phase 4-5 .
Red far from Titan are usually Bard.

Step 3: Titan's Skill

**Please do memorize the skills as Titan cast it constantly in every phase.I share with you where do you position your character in every phase.

Skill details description:

There are 6 skills which Titan will use it in battle:

1) Weight of the Land:

Aka plumes due to the Ifrit . This skill create circles randomly on the ground, the best way to avoid it is to start moving randomly as soon as you know it's will happen ( Reason I advise to memorize) . Getting hit by one does between 1800-2400 damage in phase 2 but constantly hit can cause you KO instantly. In Phase 4 and 5, even it easy to avoid but getting hit by it make you KO in blink.

2) Landslide:

Power wave straight line that make you slide over 20 steps. In phase 3-5 it will knock you off the land due land is getting smaller after each phase.

3) Tumult:

Aka Titan's Stomp. A wide AOE that deal damage between 650- 950 damage per hits. It will continue progresses to 5-8 additional hits in phase 4 and 5 . Healers have a big responsible to keep all party alive while bard start to give MP song to healer. ( People with low HP than 3400 will not survive this phase, I ensure you)

4) Stone Bombs:

Otherwise known as time -bombs ( 4-7 seconds before it exploded). *Always look for the last bomb to drop.There are three cycle of the bombs as follows:

i) Middle- usually appear in Phase 3 , where last drop at middle

ii) Corner - 4 bomb drop at middle, so advise to go to corner. It appears in phase 3 after middle

iii) Random- Always look for last bomb drop.

Tips: if you do not know where to go, follow the others who have experience on this like me =)

5) Gaol:

Referred as stone lock.during. In Phase 3, it is safe to break the rock immediately after someone get lock by stone. From phase 4 and 5, Titan will always cast Goal followed by a landslide. so wait and see where the Landslide pointing to otherwise you might end up fall down without wings. ( Bear in mind, if you Ko in Phase4 and 5, healer might not able to raise you soon). In heart mode, do not waste time breaking someone on Goal if he get locked up during second time, focus on breaking the heart otherwise entire party will be wipe out.

6) Mountain Buster:

The pain in the ass for tanker.A massive stone frontal attack that deals almost 4k damage on tanker alone. if you got hit by it other than tank, you need to practice more. It seldom hit other party other than tank itself. In this fight, 2 healer is needed to cast HP to tanker ASAP, while other healer cast AOE to other party.

For real, this Titan HM is really a hardcore primal and most player are desperate on this.I do recommended all to give a try countless time even you already gain your artifact relic. So far before this was written by me, I have tried 65 times with 64 failed and only 1 win before I get my strategy on it.

**Do not have high hope on this, Just tell yourself it only practicing and training. Please do not throw away your PS3 controller TOO or break your keyboard!!!

Any comment are welcome and I will telling you next on Garuda fight is for me was most easy way to kill it on next blog.

Final Fantasy 14 ARR

2013-11-03T19:32:00.002-08:00

The Introduction

The original Final Fantasy XIV was released in September 2010 to largely negative reviews. As a result of this poor feedback, then-Square Enix President Yoichi Wada announced that a new team, led by Yoshida, would take over development of the title. This team was responsible for generating content for the original version as well as developing a brand new game which would address all of the previous release's criticisms. Initially dubbed "Version 2.0", Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn features a new engine, improved server structures, revamped gameplay and interface, and a new story. The fourth and final beta test concluded on August 19, 2013. Early access for preorders and players with Legacy status began on August 24.

Naoki Yoshida

The Story

A few noble adventurers were spared destruction however, and now 5 years have passed since that fateful day. People picking up the game will start at this point, 5 years after the events of the original, entering the world as a fresh new adventurer trying to make their mark on Eorzea.

Click here to see the introduction of story

The New Era

The first question apear in our mind is "How has it changed since the original version?" Well, the answer is that nearly everything has been changed. Classes, Jobs, Locations and everything else has seen some work done. The questing structure was completely reworked and the game has basically evolved into an entirely new beast. If you picked up the original and were let down, it is highly suggested you give the game a second chance. People who own the original version can simply download a large update for their version of the game to gain access to FFXIV: ARR. If you never played or purchased the original, you can pick up this new title as if it were an entirely new product, because really, it is 96.5% new.

Character & Races

Each race has different stats, allowing them to better play some classes over another. A brief outline can be found below, but for a more thorough explanation, head over to the Races page.

Hyur - The human equivalent, the Hyur are the most balanced of races. They are of average height and their stats don't favor one thing over the other. Players who will be jumping between many classes may want to choose Hyur as your stats will be the most level over all.

Elezen - The Elezen are tall and full of power. Their stats allow them to fill the roles found within Disciples of War very easily. Classes such as Lancer or Marauder are perfect for the Elezen as they are gifted with a very high Strength stat.

Miqo'te - The wonderful feline-esqe people of Eorzea, the Miqo'te have their stats naturally leaning towards Dexterity. This makes them great as Archers and Bards.

Roegadyn - The mountainous people are great as front line tanks. They are of similar height and power to that of the Elezen, but offer stats more designed to absorb damage. With such a high Vitality, the Roegadyn make excellent Gladiators.

Lalafell - These miniature people are short but full of magical power. They make excellent mages of any sort. They also are quite small, so people who decide to play as them will see the world in a much different way than those who choose the tall Roegadyn or Elezen.

Bear in mind, players should note that the stats are not so drastically different that it will make a huge difference in the end. A person who plays a Lalafell damage dealer may only do 1% less damage than that of an Elezen. When picking your character race, you should keep in mind what classes you will play, but in the end, choose the one you like the most!

Classes, Jobs & Disciplines

There are 4 different ones that branch off into the various classes. Disciples of War are your physical damage classes while Disciples of Magic sling spells to damage foes or heal allies. There are two more disciplines, Disciples of the Hand and Disciples of the Land but they cover crafting and will be show further down the page:

Disciples of War

Disciples of Magic & Disciples of the Hand

Disciples of the Land

There are eight classes and three city-states to choose from:

Gladiator - Ul'dah

Pugilist - Ul'dah

Thaumaturge - Ul'dah

Archer - Gridania

Conjurer - Gridania

Lancer - Gridania

Arcanist - Limsa Lominsa

Marauder - Limsa Lominsa

PRIMAL:

Consider as Guardian/ Summon are terryifying foes that have been called down to Eorzea by the Beastmen. Each of the different Beastmen tribes worship a separate Primal. So far, the confirmed Primals include:

Good King Moggle Mog XII

Good King Moggle Mog XII is a primal moogle in Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It is currently unknown if players will eventually be able to summon him.

Ifrit

Ifrit is the Primal of fire and fury. Worshipped by the lizard-like Amalj'aa Beastmen tribe from the deserts of Thanalan, Ifrit is known for his terrible temper. His breathe ignites air while his claws can melt the strongest steel. His attacks are fire based, including the iconic Hellfire attack.

Ramuh

Ramuh is the Primal of Lightning, worshiped by the diminutive Sylphs. This old man will strike down anyone trying to interfere with his sacred forest in The Black Shroud. His iconic ability is Judgement Bolt.

Garuda

Garuda is the Primal of storms, worshiped by the Ixal Beastmen tribe. Her home is on the blustery mountains of Coerthas, where the Ixal both adore and fear the elegant Primal. Garuda's wrath has been known to erupt without warning, and she uses tornado and cyclone attacks to deal damage. Her main ability is Aerial Blast.

Titan

Titan is the Primal of earth, worshiped by the mole-like Kobold Beastmen tribe. While he may be huge and lumbering, Titan is a gentle father to his tunnel-dwelling worshipers. His home is on the serene plains of La Noscea, and those who provoke the anger of the colossus have to deal with his earthquake attacks and special ability, Earth Fury.

Leviathan

Leviathan is the primal and lord of all water, worshiped by the aquatic Sahagin Beastmen tribe. He lurks in deep waters, most likely near Limsa Lominsa, and devours those who cross his path.

Bahamut

Bahamut is an Elder Primal, thought by some to be the most powerful of the bunch. At the end of the Seventh Umbral Era, Bahamut managed to break free of his prison within the lesser moon, Dalamund. Once freed from captivity, Bahamut laid waste to Eorzea, leaving behind massive destruction and changing the landscape of the world.

Odin

Odin is an Elder Primal, a knight in all black. No one knows who first summoned Odin to Eorzea, and he is not worshiped by any single race. He rides his trusty steed, Sleipnir, in battle, but only time will tell who he's going to face off against next. The first battle with Odin, is simply finding him. He spawns randomly inside one of the various Shroud areas. Currently there are an estimated 12 spawn locations across the sections of The Shroud. Players will know when he spawns as the entirety of The Shroud will go dark. The darkness is not the same as nighttime, this darkness has more of a twilight look, with a slight fog also rolling in. Once this occurs, players will know Odin can be found somewhere.

Note: Not only will Primals play a significant role in the story, but players will be able to battle against them for rewards.

Defeating a Primal will allow players to earn special weapons and armor. Here are the sample :

From the review , it is consider as successful MMORPG, on the whole, previews of the game have been positive, and of a notably different tone than those for XIV's original release. IGN's Charles Onyett said "So far it seems like Square’s doing the right things to fix the many mistakes made with Final Fantasy XIV’s original design"
