Talk:Ru'Aun Gardens
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
You sure these are L78-79? I noticed the Catoblepas in Bibiki Bay are said to be L80 and those are Tough to me at L75, elementals in Ru'Aun can check between Tough to Very Tough to L75 and up to Incredibly Tough to a L74, would that not make them L80-84?
The Catoblepas page says they're 76-80, so that would fall into the range of tough, by the logic presented. If 79-80 were VT to a 75, and 78 T, then a 74 could potentially see an IT in that zone. Though to tell the truth, all levels above 75 are either approximated, or garnered by people who solo in those area's and are able to gauge level by the amount of xp they gain. At 75, even people in parties will begin to see patterns in what they kill, and will be able to gauge a 75+ mob's actual level with a fair degree of accuracy. If you can do some extensive tests to see if indeed there is a 3rd level tier to the elems (78-80) then by all means, add it. --Chrisjander 11:10, 25 June 2006 (PDT)
Design Inspiration?
For anyone who's seen 'Laputa/Castle In The Sky' the design and feeling of the Ru'Aun Gardens, and even all of Tu'Lia, must seem awfully familiar. Granted the location of the Sky Gods in this area isn't congruent with Miyazaki's interpretation of Laputa, but everything else seems to be cribbed straight out of the movie. Has anyone ever seen any Japanese interviews verifying this homage in the design of this region of Vana'diel?:
- I just watched Castle In The Sky for the first time the other day and thought the same thing; that's why I checked this page to see if anyone else had said something, seeing that it was not on the main page. Floating island, ancient technology, moss everywhere, ceramic-looking automatons [dolls] guarding it...definitely borrowed from the movie. - Hiachi 11:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
