Boss of Hullbreaker reminds me a lot of Octomammoth from FF4, which makes me happy.

was going to say that I didn't see any CT gear in the promo, but then I realized the pic was posted separate.

omg, someone take that picture and use the attachment feature, so I can see it at work

Omg, pie... That brd hat. I'm assuming it's a bard hat... pretty epic.

Also, in regards to the Tam-Tara HM. I picked up this little nugget from Reddit.

Wait I thought that the girl from the first dungeons quests (the one who carried around her boyfriend's head afterwards? I can't remember her name) being a boss in Tam-Tara Deepcroft Hard was an April Fool's Day joke on the Japanese

it's happening????

The CT gear is an FF3 boss cosplay convention.

It's all modelled after the Crystal Tower bosses from FF3.

Yes, Rid. Her name is Edda. She was the CNJ who was yelled at and abandoned by her party, because she let their tank die. The tank was also her fiancé, and she supposedly continued to carry around his severed head.

And the boss of Tam Tara Hard seems to be some kind of giant mutated head...

It can be seen in the trailer if you look closely enough. There's also a pic buried in the promo site for it:

Yah, omg. That's going to be a very sad dungeon, I think.

My lady friend who I recently got playing the game got up to that point in the storyline, and I had forgotten about it. Pretty sad/macabre.

As for the gear, Amon, or "Hein" as he's originally known (Amon was a palette swap) is a boss from the Crystal Tower in FF3:

The other gear is modelled after the other bosses in a similar fashion.

All the CT gear is modeled after the bosses of CT and some of them look lame... I am excited for the content of the new tower just not looking forward to the mindless zerg mentality of the parties.

Really hoping we could queue 24/24, or at least 16/24, or something. They need to get on that.
