Heroes of Abyssea Official Site Unveiled! (11/17/2010)Follow

I don't think I've ever been this excited over just the appearance of my soon to be new gear before.

Note: I think I've found my new "walking around in" BLM gear.

Unfortunately for us, and fortunately for some lucky CORs out there; I think COR AF3 officially takes the cake for most bad *** ensemble.

------------------------

Looks like Abyssea-Northlands and Abyssea-Altep confirmed. I can't make out the second one, possibly a WoTG area?

Can you complain? Af1 looked cool, AF2 looked cool and AF3.. well im sure some people will like the red.

That in itself doesn't necessarily mean anything. After all, we got Abyssea - Misareaux through Scars of Abyssea, and the only expansions required were Zilart and WotG, despite that Misareaux is a CoP zone. I agree with you that it's Grauberg, but I think the other area (the one with the Khimaira type mob) might be Uleguerand Range. At least, I hope it's Uleguerand, cause the last thing we need is yet another Beaucedine.

You mean Ãœnderland?

Is it me or does the monks legs and body look kind of mismatched?

Just to be nit-picky here, the product details actually lists Tues, Nov 23rd as the start of pre-orders. :P
Your guess about the actual update date may still be possible, since it just says early december.

Some of those AF3 sets sure are neat looking. I am disappointed in the blu set, though. I expected something more complex in the body piece at least, and I still can't get around that hat, it just looks so weird in game.
I really like Corsair, Black Mage, Ninja, Scholar, and Red Mage, though. Very cool. Pup... I can't handle that one. Just glad I don't play it myself. Looks like something you'd see on the front of a kid's cereal box. :P

The pics on the site of the areas are neat, but I was hoping to see some really cool new mob types. Wonder if they're going light on that this time, or what.
The "story" there is a bit less than inspired, lol. "New maw appear. You look new maw?" Would be great if they add a large story layer to the areas to cover it all. I'm hoping for some answers from this expansion... or maybe a later story-driven one that deals with how it all went down.

I kinda hope heroes shakes things up a little bit, and is different in structure from the last 2. I doubt it, very much so... but just another zone with tiered NMs to go hunt over and over doesn't appeal to me as much at this point. I'd hope for some other activity in there, like how bastion was added last time.
A bit worried that this area (and the other 2, to a lesser extent) will make up almost the entirety of the game for a long while to come. It'd be nice to have something to look forward to doing other than collecting gear from NMs just to take on more gear dropping NMs in the same area.
Don't have a solution to offer, wish I did... Then again, most everyone else seems content with things as they are. I'm just running out of interest in the game, fast, and would love to see something else to aim for or dig into. :P

yeah, the blue body piece just down't match in color or style to the rest of it.
Alone its a cool looking piece, but it doesn't match the rest.

Absolutely love puppetmaster. Perfectly done imo. Scholar I wasn't expecting a white body so I'll have to get use to that.(Although I was half expecting a dress shirt) Otherwise I am pretty happy with scholar. Hate white mage set. Really do.


Edit: To further my opinion of pup. It Really brings the circus feeling home. The Collar and plunging neck line remind me of the leotards acrobats wear in the circus for some reason. And I love all the small details like the tambourine and that other little toy at our side. And without a shadow of a doubt that a sexy body. IDC what people say.

Blue body is completely left field for me. Totally doesn't reference af at all. I guess of course, neither did the previous pieces.XD

Will the new Armor bring about a new pirate vs ninja clash in FFXI?
