...it was bound to happen and figures it would be Square-Enix that first did it.

New enemy takes a solid day to defeat

Players be warned.

Thats because that one is a online game theres no way Square-Enix would put something like that in a console one.

pff.. even the most core gamer would put their foot down on that crap...

I mean... noone wants to spend that long on 1 boss..srsly

thats retarded thats just gonna make everyone pissed off. if they ever pulled taht shit on a console game it would dramatically fall in sales once people figured out

18 hours...,so what happens to the person who fought the boss for 17 hours and then quit? I would just jump in battle with ten minutes to go and get all the rewards.

F*ckin' Taimat from FF 12 takes about seven days to beat, there had to be a very complicated system that was hard to keep going intact just to beat him, only to find out there's one more of those type of battles.

It's a good job this Pandemonium Warden was not part of the actual game when it first came out, because i doubt anyone would put up with a Boss like that during the story mode of the game.

I think a boss battle of this scope could work on a console. It would have to be completely optional as well as allowing players to save when ever they needed. the reward would have to be some super badass legendary weapon though. Or, perhaps just a screen saying "good job nerd, you just wasted 18 hours of your life for NOTHING...,now go finish the rest of the game"

Well, I was under the impression that alot of people fought the monster at the same time. Not one person.

Anyone can fight a a giant monster that stays invincible for 18 hours with a group. Only badasses do it alone.

you cant do anything alone in FFXI, unless you're a red mage lol

Or if you're that fat guy from South Park in the Make Love Not Warcraft episode

This is ****ing amazing.
This is beyond words....

No, no it really isn't.

It's stupid.

This is Chewbacca:

Now why am I talking about Chewbacca in a video game thread that deals with a boss character found in a Final Fantasy game? It don't make no sense!

John McClane could

With a dagger of +65 damage

dude, john McClanes dagger would be, like, +5000 damage.

In a post to their site, Square Enix has announced the three impossible-to-kill-reasonably monsters will be revised in the September update.

You're joking, right?

I defeated Tiamat my second try. It took about 10 minutes.

And, oh, FFXI...funnily enough, I was just talked into giving this game a try. Good thing my friends and I plan on playing it to fool around instead of going after these massive bosses

Really? How?? It's supposed to take a long time, however I did it the shorter way by casting lure, and reverse on Fran, followed by putting a buble belt on her and keeping the other two characters on support gambits the entire time. It took a short while but not no ten minutes.

You sir, do not hold a dark view of the world as I do.
So, bleh.

Sounds very silly, thsi is an MMORPG right?
One fo the worst things with WoW were the instances that took more then 2-3 hours to complete, so going the opposite way of lowering the time is just plain stupid.

Eighteen Hours, eh? On one Boss.

That redefines "F'ing Redonkulous."

And this is coming from someone who has happily sat in front of a Computer for 24 hours straight, playing Guild Wars.

Well, it doesnt matter anymore.

They removed the monster from the game.

What!? That sucks!! But I never played FFXI and haven't planned to play so I don't care.

I cast Silence on him immediately, then just had Vaan, Ashe, and Basch smash away at him with Ashe healing as needed.

A group of my friends from work decided they wanted to play it and convinced me to try it out. So I've got a group to play with right away

Now I just need to find a 360 copy of it, since I couldn't get it to cooperate with my computer...

$20 for the Vana'diel '08 Collection Which includes every expansion. The price on it went down recently.

And it normally wouldn't be, if not for the fact that everyone I work with has bought a copy.

Diablos is the one we're playing on.

Hopefully I'll have a copy of the game soon so I can make my character and play Gonna go with Black Mage, as always.

What race?

Mithra. Since I'm the only girl in the group, may as well

Aha, just fyi

female hume look ridiculous in battle, so good choice since hume and mithra are well balanced

taru taru mana is incredibly high though

What's even more stupid is that they tell the players to take frequent breaks.


Yeah, that, and then happily throw a stupidly hard monster to kill.

This is why I prefer WoW - enrage timers for the win.

"You have been playing for 27 hours, Please take a break"

I got plenty of those in Guild Wars
It's quite addicting.

Solid +1.

I love the game, but hate those damn reminders.

P.S. Luxon FTW.
