What are the expected topics for the final pre-DT live letter? I would have assumed they had covered everything 7.0 relevant by now (and they've even talked about what isn't in 7.0 like pvp changes).

Yeah seems like in-game renders of areas and dungeons, a bit more insight into the story, potentially a tease for an unrevealed area, the name of the first raid tier, and some crafter/gatherer/lifestyle content info

Going by the last PLL for EW:
The EW PLL had a bunch more time talking about the changes coming to PvP and the housing lottery, and while there may be a bit of DT's PvP, I bet most of that will instead be dedicated to the graphics changes.

So now that the dust has settled how's everyone feeling about the Job Action trailer, biggest winners, losers, etc. Probably going to main Ninja when I really wasn't expecting to do so, plus Warrior and Gunbreaker look pretty lit. I initially expected to either go in wanting to play Samurai, Bard, or Summoner but I can probably cross Summoner off of my list; Solar Bahamut isn't doing anything for me

As a GNB main since mid-5.x, it's pretty If It Ain't Broke. I feel like Gunbreaker is in general a pretty well-designed job for what it is, so give me a cool new thing to do and another 123, sure! Kinda surprised we didn't get a fourth cartridge, but I don't feel like I'm lacking with 3. If I could maybe add one thing to GNB, it might be nice to have a second resource to use like some jobs have? That's really mostly what I can think of to add a tiny bit more complexity.

Kinda surprised we didn't get a fourth cartridge, but I don't feel like I'm lacking with 3. Lots of gunbreaker players really didn't like the endwalker changes and funnily enough a fourth cartridge was right up there on the list of "oh god please not that" things people were worried the job would get. The actual changes seem good though, the lionheart combo looks cool and the fact that it's three gcds inside 2min windows which dont use cartridges should make the job feel more flexible.

MechaX posted:So now that the dust has settled how's everyone feeling about the Job Action trailer, biggest winners, losers, etc. Winners! Viper- Job trailer completely turned me around. I had no interest prior and now I am super interested. I've rewatched the viper section in both the trailer and the ll multiple times. I just think their animations and effects look so good when you actually chain together at gameplay speed. It also looks really fast and has lots of ogcd action but not all clumped up in a fuckpile like drg. All that said, on launch day, my order of operations is going to be unlock viper > Spend time on a dummy > duty support some piece of poo poo level 50 dungeon to see how intolerable the job is sync'd. If it ends up like rpr where it's only fun at max level, I'm not going to main it, don't care how flashy it is. Pictomancer- I think the aesthetic is great. if I had any inclination towards casters I'd be hyped. As is, I look forward to levelling it but then probably not touching it again. Sage- More dps buttons than the other healers, best as I can tell. Brd- Targetless songs is extremely nice. Kinda into it! Samurai- New stuff looks good but not sure how to feel about the meikyo tsubame change. Looks good on the whole, probably going to main it if viper doesn't pan out. Reaper- Additions look good but boring and what I expected. Unless they rework the levels you get skills at though I am saying goodbye to this job. Kinda not into it... Gunbreaker- Continuation off fated circle is good, but stop giving tanks consolidated combos. Not every tank needs multiple instances of pushing the same button 3 times in a row in their rotation! I specifically chose gnb in shb as my tank to avoid that. Losers  Sch- That transformation sucks, flavor miss. I also feel like sticking a transformation on an established job is a mistake. Lots of people complained and still complain about enshroud's transformation. Since it rpr was a new job, not the biggest deal. If you really hated the transformation then you just never played it. Some amount of scholars who have been sch mains for multiple expansions now are really going to hate that transformation. Also been seeing a lot of salt about sge getting an aoe dot and not them. Smn- Literally any other summon would have been preferable over a 2nd bahamut. Drk- At last, the drk gets 2 new combos. Oops, they trigger off 2 abilities with long cooldowns. Didn't really notice anything indicating better sustain either. Swing and a miss. What the gently caress? Ninja. I have no idea what was going on with ninja. I saw more new bespoke animations during the ninja reel than anybody else. Probably the only job I came away from the trailer with more questions than answers. It looked cool at least?

Looks like they've Heard and Seen the gamers being displeased with damage-dealing gap closers so we probably won't be seeing any more of them. At least they'll always have PvP and Bozja  Anyway yeah the biggest loser is definitely PLD who seems to just be getting new animations and an extra hit to their Confiteor combo. Other classes like SMN and WAR are in the same boat but at least their animations are cooler. I would group MCH with this but getting charges on Drill is nice and the new Heavyarms skill is unbelievably sick. I will be counting the days to 7.1 and its inclusion into CC. Very interested to see how new AST and MNK will work. If it's just "Sleeve Draw a buff for DPS, tank, and healer, plus Lord or Lady of Crowns" I'll actually be kind of disappointed, because I liked shuffling cards between nukes. I hope the new damage skills all the healers seem to be getting are relevant in all content and not just dungeon trash. I'm so pumped for Ninja I might play it over Viper, even though Viper is absolutely My poo poo. Picto is also awesome.

Note Block posted:Yeah that sucks It's kind of unavoidable and has been a while coming. Gap closers are something that would genuinely be nice to have for utility but giving them DPS means using them for utility is a DPS loss and that is considered largely unacceptable to the FFXIV community. (Even if the DPS it adds is basically irrelevant.) You genuinely can't give something DPS and utility with the design of the game unless that utility is baked into something you'd want to do anyway (like RDM's gap closer. They even had to give its disengage a second non-disengage option with equal DPS because of that.)

The game will still have gap closers with damage, far as I can tell. I don't see any indication that Primal Rend isn't going to spinny-jump you on top of bosses. These abilities are just big damage first and happen to move you as a secondary effect. Having gap closers that were intended to be used for movement but that also did a little bit of damage sucked and I'm glad they're killing them. WHM can and should still get Seraph Strike and it can be a big jumpy magical staff smash, it just shouldn't be part of their movement toolkit.

Yeah all that stuff sounded great, I just saw 4 new animations that weren't immediately identifiable (and 2 that were, new huton and hellfrog large). First looks like a visual upgrade for death blossom. But then you've got that extremely spinny slash attack, which is maybe an upgrade bhava since it cost 50 gauge? The poison spit attack which people theorize is a mug upgrade. Hellfrog large and lastly that TCJ followup.

I actually think the AoE kunai thing directly after Huton might be a Trick Attack upgrade, since they seem to have given some focus to making Ninja's animations more impressive. It being AoE will be nice for dungeons. I'm pretty sure that spinning slash is the new Bhavacakra (which rules) and I love that drum SFX that plays when you do it and Hellfrog Large. And yeah the poison breath thing is definitely Mug, the Ninja gets meter off it.

The funniest part about monk is that it isn't even changing the rotation that much. They just took away the the dot and buff and made them an (IMO) much more confusing meter system that does effectively the same thing but without the timer ticking down. It's silly. It really feels like a silly change.

The BLM changes seem to be good QoL stuff but I’m unsure of how changing the Ice MP regen from being ticks to based on ice spells cast is going to affect the Ice phase. Also unsure how Manafont allowing for an extra Fire IV/Flare is going to affect the timing of the new fireball. I suspect it will all make sense after I knock the training dummy in my yard around a bit but for now it’s very ???

I mean previously you just cast the ice spell that gives you 3 crystals and maybe lightning if your procs were bad and swap back because ticks were such and the MP regen so huge that that alone got you what you needed. I figure you might have to cast more than 1 ice spell to top off now.

Black Mage having to actually cast an Ice spell to regenerate MP probably quashes most of the weird gimmick rotations they could do right? Not that those were ever optimal, they were just funny

MechaX posted:So now that the dust has settled how's everyone feeling about the Job Action trailer, biggest winners, losers, etc. It's probably a very boring opinion but I don't really think there were any big winners for me. Once we actually get some tooltips and traits maybe some things will solidify but it really just feels like business as usual for most jobs and the few who did get significant changes didn't really improve much in my eyes (again, based entirely off a few spell effects and datamining). Like the AST changes are probably good for players whose main concern was getting RNG screwed in prog and redundant buttons (ie. Redraw), but the reason I liked playing AST when I did was because it effectively had the most executionally-demanding "dps rotation" in constantly flipping cards and targeting the appropriate party members. But I also only play AST in EXDR other easy group content so the changes aren't really for me and so basically it just got (probably) less fun for me personally with no real gain unless the utility cards are actually useful in that kind of content, which is pretty rarely true. The jobs I do main basically didn't change aside from getting probably a new oGCD big damage button. So I guess they're winners in that they probably didn't get worse. Actually WHM probably looks the best, it got a new damage button and a funny movement tool. Don't get me wrong, the combat in FFXIV is fun enough that I'll still probably have a great time and the new spells and abilities have great animations, but nothing really excited me now that the initial wave of "omg something new" is past. Both of the new DPS jobs look cool but I also don't know how much I'll get to play them because all my tank and healer friends have mostly stopped playing lol e: I also don't really think there's any losers unless new AST is really boring. Things are simply Keepin' On Keepin' On.

I find the new MNK rotation much easier to visualize than having to remember what skill to use next based on buff timers. Then again, I didn't play MNK very often, but that was kind of why.
