Airship (Area Fight)

[Excim]

I was bored and browsing through some older threads, and came across "The Notorious You" Thread. It had some really cool ideas for made up NM's and such, and some of the drops those NM's gave out.

But one thing about that thread really stood out in my mind. Someone mentioned a Bahamut fight followed up by an airship battle with Neo Bahamut.

Now, I'm not too keen on the whole summon idea of Bahamut, for story reasons and job balance, but the thought of an airship battle sounds really thrilling to me.


Imagine a BCNM type fight activated in Ru'Lude Gardens that would make your alliance get on an airship, and fight a flying monster. High over Vana'Diel you'd be nuking and ranging this thing to holy heaven, as the airship speeds, ducks, and weaves to keep up with the monster. Where would tanks and other melees come into play? Well, maybe let Dragoons's wyverns actually attack the thing, subbing WHM might even lend them to support other alliance members. High Jump might even be a factor. Maybe let there be some add spawns on the ships that your trusty Monks, Paladins, Warriors, and Dark Knights can dispatch for the safety of the other members.

Pirates attack the Selbina ~ Mhaura ferry... it's got to be only a matter of time before SE decides this might be a solid addition to the game. From what I hear, more End Game content needs to be added. Would this not be fun as hell???


And remember, last time I mentioned something to this nature, it kinda half assed came true! *Fingers Crossed*

I can gaurntee every dragoon would drool over that BC XD.

It would be very cool if it did infact happen. '-'

/crosses fingers too

lol That does sound pretty cool. There are Airship battles though later in the Promyvion missions. I believe you fight Omega and Ultima on an Airship. But I like the idea of a BCNM on an airship.

As a Dragoon, that would be cool if our wyvern could fly out and attack, which would make Drg/Whm the best combo for that type of situation. Plus if the mobs were dragons, our Dragon Killer and Ancient Circle would play a nice role.

reminds me of ff X on the airship battle

reminds me of ff X on the airship battle

Or even like the battle between the Gardens in FFVIII. That would be sick.

That was me who posted that abuot the airship battles Was just thinking about all the battles you have on your airship in the different FF's and thought it'd be awesome to have a huge airship type battle in FFXI.

a dynamis on an airship should be interesting , after u clear 1 wave , a bridge to another airship would come and then after 5 waves u get some loot

I like the idea of an airship battle...

But there would have to be some way to fight it at melee range, or at least fight something. Maybe after a certain ammount of time passes the airship will "catch up" to the monster and it'll be in melee range (which is both good and bad, as it can hit you as well). Or maybe it'll dispatch minions to the airship that you need to kill off.

This was posted under another topic but it clearly shows some sort of quest/event taking place *on* an airship. Maybe it's already built in content. Discuss.

thats just the omega/ultima battleground. While its on an airship yes, I think he ment where the airship follows the monster across the sky, and the players shoot it/cast spells and whatever, much like the battle above Bevelle in FFX
