[Crossblades]

Is this true?

[SNOOZER]

They have Burning Circle fights. Those could be considered boss fights.

[Necronopticous]

There are plenty of bosses in Final Fantasy XI. Where the hell did you hear that there was none?

They have Burning Circle fights. Those could be considered boss fights.

What are burning circle fights?

[Necronopticous]

"Burning Circle" refers to a circular platform that you stand on and interact with to begin boss fights.

[Crossblades]

Interesting. Do you meat the boss at the end of each level?

[Roogle]

You meet them at the end of dungeons, but usually you have to activate some sort of quest. You can't just journey to the end of a dungeon and randomly beat a boss.

It's hard to explain because you don't understand the concepts, but I know what you're thinking of - it's very different from what you think it's like!

[Crossblades]

lol I guess you're right. Oh well, I'll just wait till I get it for the xbox 360

[Vaprice]

lol their are tons of so called Bosses. You could really name anything higher leveled than you are a boss! xD xD xD

but the burning circle is most known for as a boss fight! rwar!

[Crossblades]

Yes, the instruction manual considers Burning Circle fights to be boss fights.

[Lionx]

Blaow! Ok it snot a boss fight but its still cool D:

[Lich3636]

there are basicaly 4 different types of what you could consider bosses

type 1: Notrious monsters
these are often over camped and only spawn once every 30min-1hr depending on the monster. they drop rare and powerful items but the drop rate isnt exactly the best on some (0/40 on jack woooooo) Notorious monsters are just stronger versions of monsters that you would fight in the area ex: Spiny spipi is just a over sized crawler

type2: (just lost train of thought. go add) o yes Quest and mission
these are your conventional story line bosses the mission ones ussualy dont drop anything good and neither do the quest ones your just killing these to get a better reward latter ie higher rank or rare item from a npc. You ussualy have to spawn these yourself by tradeing a item to something these often have time limits

type3: Burning Circle Notorious Monster aka BCNM
these are fun fights but they often require a exact party ex: 2 beast masters and a white mage for bcnm lv 20 wings of fury. these also drop rare items and have a better drop rate then nms. You have to spawn these yourself also but you have to waitif some one else is in the battle field again time limit

Type4:The god monsters,Ark angels, Shadow lord, Dynamis
these desirve a league of their own and are the hardest fights in the game the god monsters are lv 95 so you need a large group of lv 75s to take these down. the Ark angels are a mission boss fight that can use 2 jobs abilitys includeing 2 hrs. Shadow lord big multi form boss the weakest of the fights in this catagory but still quiet evil if your unprepared. Dynimis is actualy more of a big quest then a fight again a large group of 75s is needed. like i said they desirve a league of their own but if you want to break it down it would be Gods= Nm on steroids, Ark angels, Shadow lord= mission bosses, Dynamis= well i havent realy done this but from what i hear its like a bcnm but with some quest elements thrown in

[Lionx]

Dynamis is an instance raid sorta like WoW which pits you and 63 other people vs IT+++++ mobs in an area that you must clear which is in an alternate dimension of Vanadiel where beastmen rule. Coordination is key, hence if you screw up there will be TONS of dead bodies near the Trail Markings.

[DJZen]

Ooooooooooer, can't wait to hit level 75!

[Valacion]

Lol Lich, 5/7 jack and 4/4 leaping

[Miriel]

Ooooooooooer, can't wait to hit level 75!

Seriously! Dynamis is probably the one thing that makes me want to get 75 so badly.
