the teaser music is what you'd expect from a teaser. a taste of what's to come and making you want more.
Ya that's fair. But film schools tend to teach people to just be conventional instead of trying different things.
which is why i dont want it to be overshadowed by shb-esque singing
That music makes you feel melancholic?Well probably different understandings
the trailer music will 100% play during the last bossfight
Hi Lance
it doesnt make me feel melancholic
there's two conflicting feelings though: for us, the player, the music being sad or melancholy makes sense because it's the end of the journey. but for the characters within the story the music should be hype because it's the end of their age-long battle against evil.
it makes me feel like its gonna be an epic end to the series
Imagine going to school and complaining about “taste in music”
imagine complaining about "taste" in general
I'm not sure how to respond to this

What does it mean
people have opinions :D
OT: Funny Daniel walks like an old man in the trailer
the emet walk
🤨
that's was always a fun debate, like geez people can like whatever they want
the bit where the airship is crashing is the best part of the music imo 
Exactly, art is extremely subjective. There’s no “if you have taste” different people have different taste.
Fuck
5 years of your life, you could have used the time and money on something that actually you could comprehend
Music isn’t your thing, clearly
Damn right
I like how there was just one aurora class airship in the sky as well
I like to lowkey imagine that after all the shit that happened that's all the army Nerva had
just one ship

all i'm saying is i'm glad Alisaie is still a bad bitch in the teaser.

and heck Alphinaud for thinking she needs his healing
I'm glad she's still a red mage
Alisaie is a dumbo

RDM fits her personality so well
She is a dumbo but she's my dumbo
Finesse, style, but brute force when needed.
vague thoughts:
Make Anima, my child, relavent if you're gonna do a character assassination cowards
You know in Kugane the 2 main consulates are Thanavirian and Garlean.....
OUR dumbo
Verholy
Verholy looks so much more sick in that animation than in game tho 
But that Scorch had a pretty long cast time it seemed 
it really does lmao
getting interrupted for an insta cast skill
If he didn't heal her she would have forgotten
Lot of RDM friends seem to think it's a teaser for a new rank of Scorch
Why
god imagine that
damn
Fire 3 looks way better in the ARR trailer than in game
scorch just becomes scorch 2
scorch 2 would be dope tho

tbh all Jobs except maybe WAR and SCH had extreme hotbar bloat rn so I think if they add new abilities in EW it must just be rank upgrades and not more stuff to fit on our hotbars
scorch 2 and ver holy 2 please
Unless they prune more stuff away first.
mfw Alisai didn't use LB3 as soon as she got the chance
😔
hotbar bloat? it's not that bad
more for aoe rdm would be nice too
every job as far as i'm aware
everything fits on three hotbars
can fit all their main actions
I'd like for them to go the PvP route and make 1-2-3 combos just 1 button in PvE like it is in PvP.
SCH had like 5 abilities you actually used
on exactly 3-4 hotbars
actually
this
jk you had more
3-4 is too much IMO.
she couldn't use lb there was only 3 people in her party
did y'all see Estinien is rocking the pony tail in 6.0
2 is optimal. With a 3rd for seldom used actions.
verholy and verflare 2 could be the aoes
Like, I play on controlller and that's about how many I use at most
god imagine aoe finishers
there's a couple classes where I'd need a third or fourth hotbar if they add any more stuff
RDM gets veresuna
I’d like an option to choose skill animations tbh. Some old deleted skills had amazing animations that we no longer have
Esuna in 2021
no job needs 4 let's not get silly
wh
I use "3" action bars, but one is just a giant bar in the middle of my screen with my 5 most important CDs, and the other 2 are where everything else is
you're right they need 5
3 should be the max
^
they tend to balance out the buttons right?
Now that's never gonna happen 
Since the majority of the playerbase is on console they will most likely keep doing what they did before and upgrade currently existing abilities
if you remove the shitty abilities that you only use when ur synced to like level 15
unless you love doubling over skills like I do sometimes
i.e: physick, cure, benefic, b2
MMOs don't generally let the user choose what animation they want to do
or has it been increasing slightly over time?
what no you don't even need to do that
panics in blumage
Well as a GNB right now, the idea of adding 3 whole new actions to my hotbars makes me sweat lol. I have no other hotkeys left to use without making up new ones.
I could see upgrades to buttons but not less buttons
btw I have 2 hotbars divided between keyboard and mouse + a third one on the keypad for skills you don't use often
It's technically been decreasing because they removed a lot of cross-role actions.
But ShB was an increase from SB.
Poor MCH is already anorexic on the button front
The most buttons I can handle comfortably on controller is 32
HW was extreme hotbar bloat.
Give us a tank that can revive
you mean the lv.90 PLD skill
the only job that actually fills out both my hotbars is SAM
the rest still have plenty of room
I played WAR back then. 3 melee dps combos + cross-role actions + cross-Job actions, etc. that was nuts
unless its a more involved aoe class
If they add more buttons I would basically have to relearn how to play the entire game
which i tend to avoid doing it on casters and ranged
tanks could get reraise skill but it only works on healers
and replace already existing abilities
here's my general setup. i really dunno what i'd do if i had 3+ more actions added lol. but for GNB I can see the new actions just being Gnashing Fang + Continuation becoming GF2, etc.
I can't handle 2 more buttons I am literally at the limit

I'd like if they also gave us like... 4-5 more hotbars to play with, cause I could do some neat WeakAura type stuff with more hotbars
the only 2 jobs I can think of where adding even 1 new button might be an issue on controller are SAM and SMN
ya that's what i said too. WAR only has the 1 combo + 1 extra button and then your big burst is just 4 buttons (IR/FC/Dash/UH) then your defensives+sustain
those hotbars are filled to the brim
They are lacking a lot of what fills out PLD/DRK/GNB
SMN I don't really remember admittedly but SAM is fine
I use the 2 "original" hotbars + the third one on the keypad (ninja here as an example)
Smn on controller is a pain
1 to 5 is on keyboard, 6 to + is mouse
i think in general DPS probably have it easier than tank/healer for hotbar bloat
SMN on controller is a fighting game so I enjoy it
So, was it mentioned if we can queue duties on other data servers?
The only job I can think of off the top of my head I don't like playing with controller is paladin and that's more just because the way I like to set up hotbars and the way Paladin plays makes it a real bitch to fit things in in a nice way
The only thing they hinted at was using MBs
sadness
It would be a huge blunder on their part if you couldn't queue at least raids cross-DC
Speaking of cross-DC, it HAS to be limited to region

THEY'RE COMING
Yea, i'd be cooler with Cross-DC between regions
Does it? I mean to be honest most of the high-high-end raiding that was in NA/EU all moved to JP server anyways.
and having queues and PF
Get all the arguments between NA EU and JP strats
So limiting it by region doesn't 'fix' raiding
UNITE the European servers
You really need to open up JP I think to NA/EU.
I would think its limited by region cause cross region would be very difficult to implement
I never said anything about raiding
yea
yeah cross region is probably impossible
cause with NA all 3 DC's are in the same place
i thought the same for region specific
I'm just saying it probably has to be limited by region, not because of raiding but because of technical challenges
Well the whole point of cross-DC imo is for raiding first, all the other stuff is an added bonus.
Bruh, there is no need to fix the raiding scene, there's nothing to fix. But the way we play on all DC regions isn't the same it seems
same with EU both DC's there are in Germany
This is a fucking stupid take
Agreed tho, PLD is kinda lame on controller
I don't think cross-region would be hard, but also FF14's engine is really bad anyways so I wouldn't be surprised if it is incapable of loading you to a different region's server.
I have no issue with PLD on controller
Ehhhh no? You were already able to raid just fine on your own DC
bt that may be cause I always play the weird characters in fighting games
That's not why Cross-DC is happening mainly anyway
so Im desensitized
Sage is right though
^
i highly doubt they're gonna let us raid on toher DCs
I hate it

scholar's gonna get buffs because of sage
^
finally
that's what WHM said in all of SB
"surely we'll get buffed to be better than AST!"
If you think SCH is gonna stay exactly the same you're delusional
SB WHM flashbacks
that's what WHM mains said in HW -> SB lol
5 years ago
and it stayed the exact same, but AST got even better and dumped it
and the XIV dev team hasnt change their dev ideology at all in those 5 years
Well are white mages in a better spot than they were in stormblood?
ha ha imagine a hybrid healer being better than its components ha ha h ah ha ha ha
yes but you would still rather have an AST
at the high-end no, at the mid-end and below yeah
yoship said during the 5.4 live letter that they thought scholar was both the hardest and the weakest healer
because it's true
yes
yea
what a stupid buff
just because he can say something is bad doesn't mean they can fix it 
...
6.1 SCH IS REMOVED FROM THE GAME
it took them.... 6 years to fix WAR?
they have the potential to fix it
war....... war never changes
yea WAR was utterly broken between 2.0 to 4.5

9.0 better make WAR rotation just Fell cleave
Give war even more unga bunga
No other spell, just fell cleave
WAR during 4.X was so absurdly strong it was able to solo some SB content
And for you newer players, Sora doesn't mean 2.0 as just "at some point in ARR". No, WAR was so bad on the release of ARR that PLD/PLD was the only 'viable' raid comp. And that is what lead to the LB gauge penalty for Job stacking to force teams to take a WAR lol
for 6 years they did nothing but Buff WAR
For anyone still confused about the stat squish:
WAR in ARR was terrible and bad
Sora, where's Kairi
In HW it was broken in the other way
This is hypothetical of course but it gets the point across
SB it was god
At this point WAR is Fell cleave
make it even higher
fuck the overflow
😔 imagine MSQ roulette actually requiring content respect again
Which is so sad because 1.0 WAR was so fun
But somehow ARR just broke that Job so much it took 6 years of buffs, rework, buff, mini rework, revert the first rework, buff, buff just to get them to a playable state lol
Replace the name warrior to Fell cleave, and the abbreviation to FLC
Well nowadays all the tanks seem to be in a good position
This isn't true
I think that was the point
GNB is supposed to be the DPS tank more or less, but yeah their defensives are lacking in comparison to the others
Aurora takes the place of what would probably be another defensive and the upside is you can place it on your other tank. But idk if the Potency of Aurora makes up for that.
Warrior was at a good state starting in 2.1, and it stayed the best tank from 3.0 to arguably 4.55.
Damn I'm curious about what the 2nd job will actually be...
Hopes for 6.0 black mage: Ley line tether, where instead of going to your lines, you can bring them to you.
Watch it have a 5 minute cd lol
Glare 2 for WHM I think would be nice.
As for GNB, I think upgrades to Bow Shock and Sonic Break would be welcome.
I mean that's all healers are gonna get : )
I'd probably guess it'll share the cooldown with between the lines, so that you'd have to pick one or the other
Black Mage main here: I thought I wanted mobile lay lines, what I actually needed was better knowledge of fights 
Bow shock and sonic break to me are just sort of their, bow shock sure does look cool, but sonic break is kinda eh
Between the Lines is enough if you know where to put them
Yah. Giving them upgrades that also gives them a cool animation would be a good thing.
Sonic Break is just a stab
I'd be fine with Bow Stock and Sonic Break being deleted
Another thing they could do is take more stuff from squall and seifer
Eh, they help fill the No Mercy window
Ya that's the problem. They're just boring filler dots that you use once a minute.
How is nothing called Renzokuken on GNB I'll never know.
I hope RDM will get a real aoe rotation with a melee combo and finisher
fucking weeb
Replace them with more interesting attacks
fight me lil girl
so it just needs a finisher really
What if they do give them Renzokuken tho
How would it even work. Cost 2 Carts?
That'd be the minimum yeah, just making verholy/flare hit on aoe. but a full melee combo would also be nice.
moulinet spam is fine
I find it kind of boring tbh
i want the all the classes to be slightly harder than they are now but not by large amount of buttons
I mean i am a scrub, so opinions may change as I improve, but just would be a nice thing especially when the thing is in a floor hazard that the boss decided to drop on you
Or just rdm to get his melee or "weapon" side expanded a bit. Give use more to do with the spectral blades and stuff
enfire rdm
that or make the 2nd job a mystic knight stuff :D
EnFire/Thunder/etc aka FireBlade etc would be nice
/party What, you egg
/ac Sonic Break
not happening
I wish it was
but 😦
Yeah or Rune Knight
RDM doesn't tyically have the En spells does it?
heck, maybe after your finisher now rdm has a EnHoly on their sword after verholy, dealing more damage with auto attacks, then you swap to EnFlare
I’d love it but we won’t get those
If Sage is anything to go by the actual next job will be more interesting than anything people here will come up with
it'll look cool at least
Like I said, if you use BLM often enough you learn the fights and learn where the best places for ley lines are.
You also learn if you can use Triplecast straight away or keep it for later.
Lol @viscid monolith
Ya I should say it will be visually more interesting
I wonder if it's going to be berserker
I think a rune/mystic knight/templar are more likely than necromancer
even if they end up using a scythe too
hammer job HAMMER JOB HAMMER JOB
a ranjit job is more likely than necro imo
Hi Daisy
What if its just berserker
idk man we literally don't have much to off of
¯_(ツ)_/¯
berserker is kinda
Berserker, how would it feel different from Warrior ?
Idk
it would need to use a much more unique weapon
Tbf hot speculation yesterday was instead of DEATH DARKNESS SOULS it might be elemental reaper like ran'jit, fire and lightning man
MNK needs Zell's Duel where the entire raid is put on pause while the MNK inputs various commands to perform a giga attack
Doesn't warrior has a lot of berserker stuff in their story and kit?
I HOPE but it really feels like a dark scythe user, is it necro? Maybe not but it's still going to be a dark scythe user
It's probably going to be reaper (guessing from the shirts of yoshi-p, and it sounds like the kinda thing zenos would become) of some sorts, which if it is the new melee, would be nice to see, especially animation wise >.>
I still doubt that frankly
How would it be "dark" ? Could be a scythe as a mix between a bladed weapon and a casting staff. That way you get a magic knight
Listen
The problem is I don't see how they'd meaningfully do a Grim Reaper
If thief didn't make it in because it was too morally "bad", necro won't either xD
It wouldn't be called a necromancer
Reapers don't need to be 'grim'.
Magic Knight can use a scimitar that attaches to a staff to make a scythe for some special attackes :p
yeah but if they do necro stuff...
it wont be necro
I really doubt we'll get a job that reaps souls and summons the deads
a spirit caller, yeah maaaybe
A. It would fight with DRK
B. Despite being endwalker there's no real push for us to care about the lifestream or the undead
like a ranjit type job using the spirit of a slain monsters to transform or shit
my guess is that it'll be Reaper, and have some history of being an Ilsabardian martial style about laying the dead and undead to rest, but Zenos will have learned it as part of his personal training and now bastardizes it, using it to just kill everything instead
Thief would be redundant tbh, they go with double dagger setup which ninja already does
Rogue is thief
so players who want to be a Reaper as well can have the personal motivation of putting an end to Zenos' making a mockery of the craft
the thing is that the garleans don't have funerary rites and they've lived in ilsabard for basically ever
No, you don't get it.
At first they made rogue instead of thief because thief was too "evil".
Oh
This will probably be the traditional dark knight job
absorb stat spells 
And yeah, wouldn't be surprised for Zenos to do the same thing he did with samurai's teachings
Mystic Knight would sound better than Templar
zenos just gonna learn a thing in a day
how is that different than the WOL though?
Only reason im in the ran'jit job corner is just because he gives me thavnair vibes and eulmore was eerily close to radz-at-han
"you can only use this job to heal and protect others"
nah you are all missing it. the new Job will be Arithmetician
literally uses it to slaughter thousands of wamoura
Anyway you guys wanna see a stupid forum thread?
No
you have to complete complex calculus to deal increasing points of damage on-the-fly
he might have already learned it before and just wasn't using it yet
I wouldn't be surprised if it's not supposed to use a scythe but Zenos just attached the sword blade to a staff to make it one
after all, the Samurai skills aren't the only fighting style he knows
clearly
actually, have we had any legendary Scythes in Final Fantasy before?
technically we never see him use much of the actual samurai skills
Technically I suppose he's got that Corvan martial teaching
WoL gets charged by hyd, zenos gets charged by zodiark, commence Kamehameha vs galick gun situation
that's what i mean
Doesn't Noctis have one
probably would have to check FFXI scythes
Too bad
I still think the clue has to do more with the Punk Rock theme then the director of a Sex Pistols documentary
Bozja content is straight up garbage, not even the casual players enjoy it.
Why even make a savage version of a 24 man raid that was aimed at casual players?!
I want my money back SE. I only stay subbed this tier so I can get BiS for ultimate!
Not even sure Zenos will get a Zodiark blessing
Forget the Job, lets pay attention to the possible fact that the nier raid possibly is going to have a seed of resurrection from drakengard.
dread and rip Furiae
nah to that forum post
Zenos is becoming a Botanist guys
because of how few people actually do ultimates
Oh boy it just keeps going
Furiae smells

it's better to havesomething everyoen does
Bozjan makes me miss Eureka
instead of something a whole ass less than 30% of players attempt
"Hey SE. Instead of cutting this content 200 people will do, cut this content that a lot of people do"
is the new update to it that bad? haven't done it yet
Bozja content is straight up garbage, not even the casual players enjoy it.
Doubt
Zenos becomes a chef.
@woeful dagger it doesn't matter what the relic weapon content is everybody is going to complain regardless
zenos becomes a freelancer
like i've seen people have issues with bozja but the reception has seemed positive overall
I think most people were okay with Eureka after the first hotfixes made it more streamlined.
No Eureka was still treated as a joke and shit on for pretty much the entirety of stormblood
I really liked Eureka I just wish the relics looked cooler
Zenos gets tf'd into a pebble as divine retribution and WoL yeets them across a river to sink it
apocalypse is the summoner book here
Unrelated but Beastmaters in 11 can use Scythes as well
With very interesting lore
And we've been introduced to Beast Tamers in Bozjan..
Eureka relics are the ugliest relics in the game
It is in fact not a greatsword, but actually a large golden scythe.
It is widely recognized among the endgame community as one of the most powerful weapons, and is hands-down the strongest weapon available to the Dark Knight class, making the job a viable front-line fighter in endgame events such as Einherjar, because of the unique way in which it grants the Haste effect to its owner and drains HP from enemies. Of particular note, the Apocalypse has the highest base damage level of any non-ranged weapon, with 103.
ah i'd forgotten
and fuck pyros rerolling
Ppl acting like Zenos is changing jobs but he's probably getting a new katana
@severe brook that was a terrible design they should have just made it a great sword
we can see the new weapon in the trailer though
Light knight
can we
"see"
stumbles on another forum complaint about Ultimate being delayed
it's briefly visible by zenos
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
we somehow see a sort of shaft
"visible"
🤔
yes it is visible cal
We see like, 1 cm of something in front of the throne
could be a spear, axe, scythe, hammer
Do you have a screen of it orz
its like people wanted ultimate
We like
not completely but it's there
Don't see it at all
give me a second
should i sell this Queen's Guard barding or use it 🤔
we see so little of it it's more invisible than visible Blitz
I can't wait for the reveal because somebody here is going to be royally disappointed and they're going to implode upon themselves
All we see is his beautiful face
It's the garlean/ascian weapon of choice
No weapon
"We've been gearing up for nothing"
wow I wonder why ppl raiding in HW then
a gun
Will it be the necro guys the Templar dudes or The Beastmaster buds
that's part of the throne my guy
it is not
checks Japanese side of the forums instead to see if there is anything about Ultimate being cancelled thread
Wouldn't the blade extend past the throne
closer to the former than the latter but probably not super close to either Yayo
The throne is asymmetrical
it's clearly not
i think it's tilted forward
Look at the top to see it isn't lol
No it ise simmetrical, true
the general shape of the throne is symmetrical even if the details are not
but it's not clear enough to be 100% sure it's a scythe
The other side is too covered in shadow to really confirm that its symmetrical
could be any weapon with a long shaft
Zenos WAR Zenos WAR Zenos WAR
he likely has the scythe tilted forward some, which is causing the throne to block the rest of the blade
....None.
Clearly those are Dancer arms
more of NA being NA
or the blade is on the ground and we see the "bottom" part upside down
....None...
but it's honestly not enough to tell
Are you guys even going to survive until May
no
WHERE IS IT? Clipping through the throne??
Hmmmmm none
could be leaning forward
Zenos has noclip enabled
we just can't tell
That was never the plan and you know it
Hes using console commands
Stoooop don't read the thread
its long, guys
This is a VAC secured server
Comrade
lol
it's a mezzaluna
Zenos unlocks Genie Hunter
while that top part looks unclear the handle or whatever that is looks like its at the front
zenos fighting using pixies 
Watch it just be an axe
i mean zenos makes the most sense to represent the new Job
since he's giving up his past weapons
Zenos is going to convert to a Dwarf and use hammers
Honestly I'll miss samurai Zenos
ok, axe
samurai zenos was fun
It's bloodborne trick weapon
Watch it just be a fancier new katana
Kirkhammer
He's in a chair
Gherman confirmed
Moon Presence
Like a bone blade out of monster hunter lmao

FUCK
Tonight. Zenos joins the hunt.
God I love bloodborne
Is this Endwalker?
yes
Did you jump when you saw that teaser?
Absolutely
Best game they've made
still holding onto hope that the class is gonna be called hunter
hunter like in bloodborne but also hunter like zenos using a scythe
CG Alisaie is a thing now
I'm still hoping for a bloodborne 2
that would actually
Bloodborne Kart
Cmon sony it'd make you millions just say yes
New Job will be melee Beastmaster with Scythe as a weapon
i'm still guessing Reaper
or it'll have the name Templar but with a really weird reinvention going on
i think most likely is reaper
I was so confident that they'd be in but also no I didn't jump and I was so frantically trying to juggle 4 convos I actually wasn't able to absorb a lot of it
I have a dumb theory: what if the new melee job is actually Ancient? Like, Grim Reaper -> Death -> Old Age -> Ancient.
Zenos has become Elderly
Elidibus did nasty things while he was in Zenos' body
I don't see many people talking about the EW logo, this is the first thing I can think of
did they announce blue mage when they first revealed the expansion?
lunatic pandora in the logo, yeah
because i feel like we'd probably get beastmaster as a limited in 6.1
at least, from a glance
That logo is Zodiark pretty sure. Don't think it's suppose to be the Pandora.
The semblance is probably more coincidence.
but yeah, i think the scythe is going to be more like this
A giant obelisk on the Moon is a popular trope.
i think the scythe is tilted forwad and thats why it doesn't come around the wing
Well we know there are structures on the moon
We've seen them
yeah there's a zodiark statue up there
half buried
who knows maybe the complete trailer will even have PLDlander walking up to it before turning around
not like this
inb4 zenos actually swapped to blm
nah
Scythes are weapons you weebs
if we force him to move we can kill him quick
garleans cant use magic
Zenos can use magic now though
because Resonant
what if the scythe this entire time has the blade behind his back :^)
Zenos can use magic. He's been able to since 5.0
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm really nothing, couldn't find any...
I can't really see zenos using a scythe with a blade not as erect as he is
Oh well.
Zenos isn't normal
he can
so
your argument sucks
There's only one thread and this MPK is so strange I can't tell if he's a troll
I'd look up his name to see he has any Ultimate clears but I'm too lazy
no trolling
Troll will be the new Melee DPS job
So far we have no sign of zenos being able to use magic. Echo sure, but ether still not
he has used it at one point i'm pretty sure
he's literally used magic
one second
anything beyond raw biology or machinery is magic
and he's used magical abilities
like...is it Convexity?
I mean, he teleported in the Ascian way
You mean the teleportation and force fields aren't magic?
the big shockwave
Didn‘t he?
magic aura
magic shield
Magic teleport

Lame, no point in giving a melee biological regeneration if they just get one shot

Literally using magick in this cutscene
but also yeah the shield and teleportation is magic
The Imperial national anthem is pretty epic watching back over the Zenos cutscenes
i guess you could wonder if ascian magic is different from normal one?

but either way he has at least some form of magic
magic is magic
Nah they use regular darkness and untyped magic, numbered darks, numbered quakes, etc...

DRK and PLD use magic.
It may work differently from the kind of magic Mages use but still considered Magic
technically everything beyond basic life functions in eorzea is magic
like drg jumps aren't just like, you train really really hard and you can jump 600 yalms into the air
that's a wind aether assisted jump

Juggler in FF17 maybe

Spells, Abilities, Weaponskills. Those are the three action types. DRK and PLD have all three but they are melee tank jobs. RDM has all three but is a ranged caster dps.
No, it's an aether infused attack

that's wshat those chainsaw looking effects on the side are
any superhuman feat in eorzea is magic
onion knight before mog knight
well, aether boosted, which is basically all magic under the rules

So when thinking about the next melee DPS job and yoshi-p wanting to get creative and original don't dismiss magical function as a window
Nah, some superhuman feats are because of superhuman strength/agility/ect.
Raubahn kicking a stone pillar was aetheric
i'm pretty sure if we harassed the story team or yoshi-p enough they'd confirm that warrior's anger becomes aether-based
So something like a Mystic Knight can still be very doable
someone who jumps 600 yalms into the air isn't getting there by training really hard
¯_(ツ)_/¯
you're not cutting a boulder in half with your hanzo steel without some help
No but someone can run a lot faster than someone else and it not be aetherical
Doesn’t WAR just change their aether to be angry
Angy element
^
Dragoon ability still aren't considered magic because they aren't tapping into the arcane
Angy aether
Inner Beast is tapping into latent primal instincts, nothing Aetherical
Is the word arcane even uttered in FFXIV anywhere
Yep

Mirage dive and nastrond seems magical
Actually yes several times in Mage quests they speak of the arcane
arcane is a synonym for aetherial/magical
it's only used in reference to ancient schools of magic
Actually Dragoon taps into all the microscopic black holes that are all over the universe and essentially uses them to warp really high in the air
It's advanced Allagan tech

What do you think in Arcanist is?
Arent all jobstones aetherical in nature anyway
Point
Job stones specifically that we use, yes.
One message removed from a suspended account.
arcanima is the study of the nature of aether and using geometric forms to guide and form it
This also brings us to the question: is ninjutsu magic?
Ninjas can make flames and water currents
Aether is just the force
But regular people that are ""jobs"" are just regularly trained without a stone
ninjutsu is implied to be tools, we just don't have to carry them in XIV

But since we have the Echo we can peep a Jobstones' memories and get a full understanding of an entire lifetime of teaching in an instant.
Job Stones are basically just the same idea as the Convocation Stones
katon is used often by enemies but it's usually a bomb-type attack

isn't Bishop a DPS job in FFT:A
I wonder if Estinien will have a moment like this during MSQ
It's a Templar that can use Cure 2 right
Just defeated her today
So like a heavy-armor WHM
One message removed from a suspended account.
that's technically pld 🤔
nah they confirmed that ninjutsu was a technique using I believe chi? That our instructors explained as a re-interpretation of aether. It's also why Thancred could only be a Rogue because he was already afflicted from Flow, preventing him from learning ninjutsu
One message removed from a suspended account.
Well Bishop/Templar separate themselves from PLD by being less physically stronger and can use better WHM
So like PLD can use uhh Rank 3 weapons but only Rank 1 WHM but Templar can use Rank 2 of both.
Think of it that way
i'd thought Templar had worse magic than PLD but more of a focus on physical strength
though maybe that's depending on the game
Bishop is already dicey as well since they were angry WHM in FF:TA, meaning Bangaa was the only race who could learn Holy in the entire game
The job originates from the Ivalice series of games, but has also appeared in additional spin-off titles in the series.
Templars are knights who work close to their church, using a combination of physical weapons and magick. They tend to be stronger than other magic-using jobs, since they can equip heavy armor, but they also have weaker magick stats compared to other magic jobs.
I can't wait for Barbariccia to come into XIV and everyone simp for her
Plate DPS is a common request so maybe that might fit with maiming armor
Weaker magic stats compared to WHM but better magic stats than other physical jobs
Barbariccia and Rubicante are going to get a lot of fans again
just like the good old days
Rubicante leg
leg so hot
we're not gonna get Sword/Board (Glad DPS) but Templar might work
Blitz you were the one I told you to look up the song right?
Sentinel makes a comeback
it was great
I don't think we're getting Templar from ff:ta I think we're gonna see it as a job name though. Also holding out for bangaa to be attached for it but we need those gender locks gone first
Never
she'll be Estinien's kid in the sequel
kid with who?
Bangaa in XIV
hroth and viera
Adopted kid right?
ye
😳
She will be the reincarnation of Ratatoskr
@blazing shuttle stop talking about new races and stop talking about gender lock it's not going to be a thing
Races are out of the question tbh
bangaa get added, can only wear feet and hand armor like shown in-game
Yikes that's coming on strong

i think the only new races we'll get would be femhroth and maleviera
I'm pretty sure yoshi-p made it very clear that they were not going to do new races anymore
i mean honestly we have a pretty big roster as is
Extremely clear
That said genderlock is archaic
As certain as "BLU won't become a non-limited"
Races just take too much Dev time.
(Aka 100%)
That or they just come out a mess like hroth and viera : )
FF17 is when they can start fresh and have cool, new races.
This game is fine with what it has now.
Maleviera and femhroth will also have no hats
People just refuse to listen. Words just bounce off their skulls
good thing we can get the Blessing of the Kami 2 so we can breathe in space
Noone gets hats
No, Male Viera and Female Hrothgar will have hats but they will not have fixed Female Viera or Male Hrothgar at all

Hats deleted like belts
What level is blessing of kami 2 and does it give increased mount speed
Shadowbringers has been out how long now and people are still complaining
It would be 82 I think?
You think they would just accept that sometimes they don't get what they want and move on if it's really that hard to move on from then quit the game
We got Kami blessing at 61 or 62 I think
My guy we get it, why are you monologuing, do you want me to apologize?
or what if the job uses a weapon similar to Garlands? Lore could be that it's a "lost Garlean" job that has no ties to other nations like Gunbreaker
But realistically the Moon might have an atmosphere as a result of Zodiark
So we don't even need a Kami blessing
They can just explain it away
Yoshi said moon has oxygen
Oh god
well that's good to know
Apologizing would be pointless because you just going to do it again tomorrow. I have gripes about this game but I've gotten over them within 24 hours of making them
when will Steve from Minecraft and Doom Guy get added to FF14
tomorrow
Master chief as new class
did they say anything about the crossover?
nope
Pokemon trial crossover
just that 24-man is not a crossover
FFX Aeons as the trial theme?
but we got a teaser for Anima
We'll get sans before doomguy
So the Moon Primals might be Dark Aeons who knows
24 man raid is going to be original to Final Fantasy XIV no crossovers this time
happy ifrit noises
i don't think ffx aeons will be post-story trials, Anima looks to be MSQ
my guess is 83 actually
Can technically have more than one Trial in the MSQ
Reaper will use Dragoon gear
And then they mentioned that there was still a piece of Unsolved Eorzea lore to discover
i think they're keeping 87/89 in reserve
yeah I am predicting it's that the Allagans were originally from the Moon
also if this is the end of days, Anima could be a Terminus beast
That's not even a good joke
i don't think it's a joke, but i also don't think it's the case
allagans did go into space
By the way the allagan empire ruled the world not just Eorzea
whether they had a base or city on the moon is different
we know the Allagans were made up of Spoken races that were able to rise due to Emet-Selch's manipulations and reverse-engineering Omega
my guess is the 24 Man is about whatever's under Silvertear, since they said it's about one of Eorzea's lingering mysteries
that doesn't mean the progenitor wasn't from the Moon and brought down by Emet-Selch
The allagan empire was similar size to the amaurot civilisation?
not just the planet of Hydaelyn, but Eorzea in particular
mhm
watch anima is gonna be the primal to represent garleans or some shit like that
The Ancient civilization was world-spanning, Allag was "just" on the Three Great Continents
so the Ancients technically had more territory
I wonder if Anima's bottom half will be a 2nd phase of the fight or just his "limit" he uses half-way through the fight
So whatever the 24-man raid could be it's going to involve something in this area that we haven't touched on lore wise
i think the players are going to get split into two groups halfway through
btw anima is female
i just wanna see the bottom half punch a lot
Anima is both male and female.
Top half is male, bottom half is female.
bondage mom
can't have moon expansion without Asura
https://imgur.com/Cy6IELp
Yes but this isn't Final Fantasy 10
The Song of the Fayth used a female, but an Aeon itself isn't tied to the gender of the soul of the sacrificed person.
X is all we have to go on so far
I'm trying to think... Maybe the old civilizations like Mhach and Amdapor?
This is Final Fantasy XIV and anima can be completely different
for alliance?
yeah and until its said otherwise
If we get a 3rd version of Lost City theme, I am all for it
she could be but we have no sign of what's actually going on with her yet
all we have is ffx
the only thing we know about anima is just theres top and bottom
so i will presume Anima uses she/her pronouns
to cut this conversation to its essence
whats is nice though
is the ffx art person being in the ffxiv team this whole time
Ya knowwwwww
I just wanna get punched 30000 times
sweet
i am certain Oblivion will be her Phase Transition
The new job is probably going to be dark and brutal like anima is
oh people noticed the magus sisters btw
Seymour and Zenos could fight over who has the best hair
if Seymour got added to this game im unsubbing
Maybe the new job will use chains
we proobably won't get someone literally named Seymour
but we might get a character who takes some influence from him
honestly
Fandaniel is kind of comparable to Seymour
wants everything to die including himself
cursed
won't be Seymour but possibly someone with a similar backstory to Animas
Fandango is nothing like Seymour Seymour was a god
the virgin fandango and the chad seymour
Fandango is a stooge
I mean Anima is Seymours mother.....or her body was used for it
seymour was a bitch
seymour theme goes hard
the virgin seymour and the chad garland (ff9)
rave music
didnt know Seymour had such hate o.o.....I kinda liked him
what is emet-selch but 14's Garland
speaking of going hard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9QD25nakt8
dude.
SOKEN
Technically he did marry Yuna
i mean i think people can still like him as a villain even though he's awful
hes 28
seymour said "yeah I want her"
They kissed and everything
I want Sin to be used as content eventually
any excuse to have a final battle using Otherworld

Hey geys i've been looking for a video with this quality for a while and after not being able to find one i figured i'd do it myself.
i actually ended up using a PS2 emulator and just popping my disk right in the PC drive and played like normal. pretty cool actually. graphics were rendered much higher than they coul have been on the original ...
Sin ends up being another Terminus Beast
FAntasy
I mean Tidus tho......if I had to choose I'm goin with Seymour

born from memories and fears of Bismarck
That song is so weird because the singer is this random white dude who became something of an underground musical artist singing Christian rock in Japan lol
Doesn't anybody else ever find it funny that Auron raises his flask to sin and it just makes him look like a crazy drunk
you call it weird i call that multicultural lmao
funny since Koji fox is american
Did somebody say Koji Fox
It's just interesting a random punk artist that was in Japan for 3 whole years to try and push a very niche subculture ended up singing a classic FF song
Former english teacher turned MMO lore crazyman
straight edge punk nice
he sings almost everything else so
Saving that pic fuck yeah
oh yeah i still need to make that koji emote
Still tho that Anima fight is gonna be amazing....
imagine having your own mom who you sacrificed to bring the calm would come kill you
What if the final boss for EW is an enemy made up entirely of belts

Look the Moon is made of cheese....the only reason Zodiark has not defeated us yet is he has to eat his way out....and it's taking a while....
We finally make it to the moon and first contact with a tribe is just, "So...chunks huh"
He's eaten enough to look with his eyes
also if this is like ffx ish.
maybe we'll get the infamous Trema
from via infinito
ohhh
