All the SoA areas are presumably made for level 99 players so it seems more likely that you'll be leveling in vanilla zones.
I'm going to F*** up everyone as Bubbly Burnie

Lol. I'll just play as Kaggen and spam Death Prophet.
Problem?

I wanna be AV! You kill me, SE nerfs you.
So is this supposed to come during the expansion? or is this just gonna be an update?
They said spring or summer.

If I played as Kaggen, I'm sure I'd let people kill me.
I'd just not drop Mekira Meikogai.
Especially for Leeramond.

In reality you can only play NQ mobs, not NM's at all.
Common Crab, leech, pugil, etc.

Wasn't Naraka confirmed to be the 4th/5th stage of the undead evolution chain by the devs/community reps?
I think maybe it was during Vanafest when they were doing those youtube live video feeds.

| We're all quite excited for Monstrosity content here. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the development team is currently working on laying out the foundation of the system and there isn't really much graphical stuff that can be shown quite yet. Once we're at a stage where I can show you something (i.e. defeating Behemoth Camate), I'll be sure to show you right away! | ||||

Meh, was interested to see how this was going to play out, the waiting game continues.
I'm going to say late July / early August for when this is finally released.
Loads of stuff is coming out in june anyway, so it's fine if this comes in july or august.
I am really really really excited for this, though.

| Implementation of Monstrosity to the Test Server Iwagami here! I just added a forum avatar, so I'm all fired up today! During this week’s Test Server update we will be making it possible to play a portion of Monstrosity. There are special features specific to the Test Server that will change when moving this content to the live servers, so I'd like to explain about this a bit. Also, the content implemented is subject to change. What is Monstrosity? Monstrosity is content that will allow you to turn into the monsters of Vana'diel and have a good time. Instead of just searching for power, try becoming various monsters and exploring a multitude of areas. You might just discover some interesting aspects that you didn't notice before! Here is a commemorative screenshot! While the below stats are still in-development, by attaching what is known as "knowledge" (*provisional term) you will be able to add special traits. We are doing our best to develop this content so that combining types of monsters you can change into, the knowledge you set, and other aspects turn into an awesome time. Rabbit Knowledge 1 (HP+2% AGI+5 Attack+10 Cost: 3) Bee Knowledge 1 (AGI+5 Attack+10 Evasion+5 Cost: 3) Crawler Knowledge 1 (HP+3% Attack+5 Resist Slow+30 Cost: 5) How to Start and Stop Monstrosity on the Test Server We've setup the “=TEST=Monster Playing” NPC shown in the above screenshot in North San d’Oria (L-9), Port Bastok (J-12), and Windurst Waters (K-10). By talking to this NPC, you can get setup to try it out and hear an explanation about the content that is ready. Once you're all set, examine the glowing object next to the test moogle and move to the lobby area. When you move to the lobby area you will be changed into a monster, and this is when Monstrosity begins! For the real content, we are planning to have Monstrosity begin from the three nations and then moving to a specialized lobby area. You can return to normal from a monster via the following three ways:
Content Available with the 5/31/2013 Test Server Update With the Test Server update to take place on 5/31, it will be possible to change into a rabbit, mandragora, bee, or lizard, set knowledge and battle monsters in the field. The fields that you can play in will be 2 field areas near each of the three nations. Content that will not be implemented yet
Content currently being adjusted
Features special to the Test Server
We'd like you all to check out the content on the Test Server so you get an idea of what it's like when you become a monster, as well as understand what kind of things you can do in the future with this content. We are developing this so we can continuously add new elements in a short amount of time, so please try it out and let us know what kind of things you would like to see! When submitting feedback on Monstrosity, please be sure to leave out the specialized features for the Test Server. For how to participate on the Test Server, please check here. Thank you very much! | ||||

Sooooooo..... You have to go into a brenner like instance to become a monster? Bah there goes the fun of that.

god....... damn............. it....................
who is developing this ***lately?

Yeah...don't really see the point of playing as a monster if you're going to be restricted to such a small area. I'd understand somewhat if they locked it to certain areas for now (like fellow NPCs) but the idea that it'll be restricted to unique areas specifically made for Monstrosity just defeats the whole point.
I hope this is just what they're doing for the test server.

Funny enough remember the devs saying this wouldn't be a brenner type thing?
Could be like this for testing purposes, it seems like they still only have a skeleton put together and not much else at the moment, guess we'll see.
