Cait Sith & Atomos Avatar

They realized it'd be pointless.

They probably realized it would have gone down like this.

Players: PLEASE ADD NEW AVATARS LIKE CAIT SITH OR ATOMOS!
SE: Sure, it might take some time but we fully intend to do so!
Players: YAAAAY!
SE: Okay we've added Cait Sith and Atomos as avatars!
Players: OMG WHAT A STUPID IDEA, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THOSE TWO!? UGH STUPID SE, WHY DOES SE ACT LIKE THEY HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR OWN GAME OR SOMETHING? STUPID STUPID, OP, RELIC/MYTHIC/EMPYREAN. I WANT MY NEW AVATAR TO BE APOCALYPSE. HERP DURR.
SE: ...

I think when they wrote it, they had assumed FFXIV would not be a complete waste of their investment and a huge money sink.

It makes me wish SE would release part of their server's programs so we could write the updates for them. We'd do it quicker and better. Just give us shineys in exchange for writing your game for you.

Inb4 dualwield GK.

stop being so spoiled. don't you realize how much manpower it'd take to find those WOTG mission animation dats, copy paste the files and then write some stats?

if you want instant gratification get back to wow because thats obviously your favorite game buddy

What? oh w/e. You must like waiting more than a year overdue for stuff.
I know it takes a lot of manpower to do. The point is there is more programing manpower in the 3rd party community than there is working on FFXI from SE.
dual wielding 2h weapons sounds just like something WoW would do...probably did too.

This is the second time in a few days that I take over a thread op.

if they do add em atomos will have 1 bp and it will be retrace and cait sith will just have a bp that gives you a costume and lets you strut like a cat

Ya, one of the Warrior Trees had the ability to dual wield 2-h weapons at a neg effect of both weapons being something like 15% weaker.

Because they realized that before they do such feats they are obligated to double the hp of our avatars and give them multi hit traits(like vanguard avatars can!). They wouldn't think to again add gimmick avatars to compensate.

SE is probably holding off because atomos and cait sith are too game breaking. #sarcasm
