Zanig'oh is a monster. Not really by his own decision, as he was bred to be a biological weapon, further augmented by alchemical arts and powerful warding runes etched into his scales. But as far as Final Fantasy XIV players will be concerned, he's still the sort of monster that needs to be put down as fast as possible. After all, he's the third notorious monster previewed by the development team, and he drops the runestones that are already known to be the key to powerful armor sets. That means it's drake-hunting season once the December update arrives.
This newest preview also contains the third set available from the allagan runestones, with this set suited toward the more lightly-armored disciples of war. With a strong pirate theme, the set is heavy on evasion, thus making it ideal for players who prefer a more nimble playstyle. We're also promised further previews of the non-levequest notorious monsters, something that should entice Final Fantasy XIV players with the prospect of more rewards and challenges in the wilds of Eorzea. After drake-hunting season is over, anyway.

Shades of "Treasures of Aht Urghan." Very interesting.

I've just gotten into FFXIV and I love it. I don't know if I'm some sort of inferior gamer or something but I don't know why people don't like it. And there's a ton of people everywhere I look. So I must not be the only one.

@InkSix
Honestly?... it's cause the game is broken and sub par ~
ignoring the fact I've been playing MMO's for a few years.. it's simply
a game that doesn't even have the basics of an MMO..
*(IE: Auction house, ingame quests, daily travel system, intuitive
battle system or anything else really..)
seriously.. if you really wanna know why or just curious what
you're missing out on ~ then check this quick vid: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/finalfantasy14/video/6281074/final-fantasy-xiv-online-video-review?tag=summary%3Bwatch-review

@InkSix Glad you're enjoying it, there are more than a few of us and the game is only going to get better with the coming changes. They've fixed some of the things in that gamespot review already but it's going to be a long time before people give the game or SE credit no matter what they do. Bottom line- if you enjoy it, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
