Meet the Munsters!

And I'm back!

"In a few days"... "tomorrow"... "in a few hours"... whats the difference? I saved some pictures and I want to share them.

First of all, I'd like to thank the DEVs for not recycling old monsters and just reskinning them like they've done in the past. I really appreciate that. But then again this is a full fledged expansion and not just some cut and dry mini-crapolla.

So far I have some mixed reviews and a lot of unanswered questions. On one hand, I like the way they look and the originality that went into them all. On the other hand...

... thanks SE! I always wanted a game where I could play as a monster, level up as a monster and evolve as a monster while battling other monsters. I shall name this one Bulbaripoff. It seems fitting. Guess who's getting diabetes from eating to much rare candy? THIS GUY!

It's not all bad though... some of the monsters I'm seeing are recycled from older games... but on steroids. I seem to recall fighting something like this guy in Balamb Garden's training center...

That being said, I like it and I cant wait to fight it. Don't deny it... when you get there and I'm already kicking its ass... you're going to be all kinds of royal jelly.

"That was so lame..."

SHUT UP!!! I'M FUNNY AS SHIT!!!

"You're shit alright"

Bulbaripoff, I choose you! Use Blade of Grass! *Bulbaripoff hurts itself in the confusion*. Goddamn it Bulbaripoff. I'm never going to get any badges if you keep this up. 

Regardless, let's get back on track talking about stuff that isn't going to get me tied up in copyright laws...

We got a glimpse of the new Beastmen-type mobs. These ones are called the Velkk... and although they look strangely similar in design as the Orcs we already have... these ones have HORNS! Horns were my selling point. The immature jokes practically write themselves!

Honestly, they look like what would happen in a Mamool Ja got it on with an Orc and had hideous adorable mutant babies. Over-all, I approve. I'm just waiting for the sex tape to come out on VHS.

"They don't make VHS anymore"

Nice try, LIAR! I'm way smarter than that. You're better off trying to feed me some kind of bull about how we have electric cars and phones that don't need to be plugged into the wall. As if that would ever happen.

" Uhh... Yyg... I hate to tell you this but..."

Oh wait! hold that thought, I just remembered I have to make a phone call. BRB. Now what if they could figure out some way to be on the interbewbs and use your home phone at the same time? Wouldn't that be awesome? That's where the future's at! Someone call Bob Dole! 

I do love the dial-up sounds though... BoopWRrrrgGRRrrrrrEoooEooooWeedlieWeedliewoooo... so soothing. 

"Never mind"

But wait! Theres more! Check out all this stuff too! Because what Final Fantasy game is complete without a series of augmented RL creatures that have been redesigned to be bloodthirsty killing machines?

Matamata

Chapuli

Craklaw

And lets not forget the absolutely necessary "Amorphous Blob" ccategory of creatures we have all come to know and love. Not to be confused of course with the "The hell is that supposed to be?" category. Fear not! We got at least one of each!

Umbril (Amorphous)

This one looks as though it's water-based, judging by the cutoff at it's midsection(?). I'm curious to see how this one aggros and what exactly it does. Based on past experience... it's undoubtedly going to be a disappointment... but then... speculation is half the fun, right?

"No."

You gotta give me points for trying to keep a positive mindset about this though, right?

"No."

Oh come on! Nothing?

"No."

Do you want all the money in my wallet?

"Nooooooyes"

HAHA! No dice! You said no first! This crisp 2 dollar bill is all mine.

Acuex (The hell is that supposed to be?)

Spoiler alert on this one! They're sentient silicone breast implants.

"That's not true at all"

Listen, you. I watch Dr. Oz. I know what a boob implant looks like... and THAT is a boob implant. In fact that's 3 boob implants. You ever seen 3 at once? I did. That was the best carnival ever.

Last but not least, there's one more category of creature that SE has to put into their games to make us go "Dawwwwww". Yep... the "omgitssofreakingadorable" category. Enter:

Twitherym

Heartwing

Yep, purple butterflies and smiling golden hearts are this years "Mandragora". According to the Seekers Official site, the butterflies are deadly and the heart supposedly behaves similar to how Pixies from WotG and Fishies in Sea behave right now. They just follow you around... and maybe cast stuff on you? Maybe? The site also suggests that attacking them is a bad idea (you think?) as it will likely end in disaster.

I for one can't wait to try my hand at killing both of them.

"Didn't you just say it was a bad idea to try and kill the Heartwing?"

I don't take kindly to commands.

"It sounded more like a suggestion. Maybe even a warning"

A WARNING?! NOBODY THREATENS YYG! Those Heartwings are as good as extinct. Lets see them try to follow me then!

In conclusion, suffice to say I'm pleased with the monsters that we've been shown so far and eagerly await spoilers about other ones. Additionally, I wonder if any of the older (classic) mobs will resurface... reskinned in this new world. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see!
