More to the point, did you see the footage of the fight? With the lotus flowers and the giant lady? That's why we gotta fight the primals. Because it's a good way for the art team to trip out and do something super cool.

E: Or chrysanthemum or whatever

Yeah giant hologram projection Lakshmi looming over the field during the fight looked really cool.

somewhere in 3.X, alphinaud makes a freudian slip when they are talking about when yshtola got poo poo out of the aether nude and implies that he remembers it with perfect detail. this is in the same conversation where he is talking about how he likes to draw people

Same. Shiva's suden stomp into drums into punkrock is the best. Brute Justice is also almost as good. Zurvan's is hilariously edgy, too.

What the hell is the rotating sword sheath about?

Samurai requires level 50, right? And the game comes with a boost token, right? So could I be a complete newbie baby and start with Samurai if I get Stormblood but have no prior FFXIV experience and be ~that guy~?

It doesn't come with a boost AND you can't use boost on samurai or redmage if you did buy one.

So no you can't be that guy.

If there are still people who care, I updated my spreadsheet to do:
a) Critical Hit modeling
b) Party buff modeling
c) All sorts of other things that I forgot about since I last posted about it here.

Copy it and put your skills in order on D column, the spreadsheet does everything. Use how you like:

It's funny because more than any other LB3 it feels like it's someone doing something they really shouldn't be doing, like some kind of spell that was lost to the ages because last time it was attempted it wiped out several cities, or something.

It looked like a basic pre-Rogue Gladiator Knife so any significance to that is going to tie in whether the 'Zelos introduces what he's really capable of scene' happens before or after it. If before it could be her being not fully confident in the power of Boot-To-The-Face, if after it could be her trying something new because Swords Are Sharp And Skin Is Not.

You make one character, pick a starting class, level that (or any other class if you decide you don't like the starting one) to 50 (getting your job stone at 30 on the way), then go unlock SAM/RDM (which start at 50).

A basic sub only allows one character per server. With that one character you can level each job (including trade skills) and switch basically on the fly.

You can also queue as one job and then switch to another to play as that while waiting for your dungeon or whatever to pop.

FFXI and FFXIV are built around using a single character than can switch jobs, (reminiscent of games like Final Fantasy 5 or Tactics) rather than rolling a ton of alts. I would suggest sticking to one character. Its actually more expensive monthly fee if you have more than one anyways.

The upside is you don't have to repeat quests, and you can keep some of the abilities of your other leveled classes with your main class. You have to reach a certain level to unlock a chocobo mount, but once you get it, if you switch to a level 1 class, you can still use it. Things like that. But the downside was it basically forced you to level certain other classes to get abilities to make certain classes good, so Stormblood is getting rid of some of that system. You can still jump classes/jobs at any time post-SB, but you won't need to level other classes for abilities if you don't want to.

Base classes start at level 1. Standard 'jobs' require you to level one class to 30 and another to 15 and then do a quest to get the 'job crystal'. The other class level 15 requirement might also go away post-SB.
Dark knight, Machinist and Astrologian require you to be level 50 in any job/class, and then you start those jobs at 30. They have no base class.
SAM and RDM require you to be 50, and will start at level 50. They have no base class.

You can swap at any time to any class you have unlocked, and you can become the job at any time by equipping the job crystal. If you un-equip it, you return to the base class, if there is one.

Stormblood begins at level 60 and ends at level 70.
