Wondering what combining TP and MP means for classes like Dark Knight.

Betting that BLU will remain capped until Stormbringers release - maintains player/sub engagement, allows players to familiarize with the class a bit (and make a call if they want to main that or switch) before expansion launch, helps keep lower level queues populated with veteran players (even if they're not healers/tanks), etc.

Overall I'm real hype and (manager willing) I'll likely take off a couple weeks for the expansion launch again.

Didn't they specifically say that the cap will be raised gradually across patches? That doesn't lead me to believe 80 will be available at SB2 release

Combined MP and TP is just going to be MP.

Yeah, that's what I figured. It's not unusual for an FF game to have MP costs for "physical" moves (like FF9 did), and FFXIV has established that even the physical jobs are using mana to power their attacks anyway.

I thought the leaks said that GUN would be a tank job, or has that changed since I last checked?

Limited job could also mean like, they can use the really fun poo poo like ultima and level 5 death and overpowered abilities in the open world - but in raids they have a much more limited toolkit?

idk, food for thought. I'd honestly wait until tomorrow before drawing any conclusions.

i haven't been able to pay super close attention since some server is on fire, but assuming the "worst possible scenario" of it not hitting the current level cap, it's a way to inject people into DF for lower level content that's already largely broken mechanics wise due to gear. it's a way to funnel people into 50/60/70/24DRs without having to significantly alter the reward structure.

Maybe have Foe's Requiem last a base duration, which is extended by one second whenever you use a weaponskill during that duration.

It looked like a girl, and there wasn't a mask.

I wasn't expecting the classic stage magician motif for blue mage, but I'm digging it.

Here's hoping that the new data centers + server reorganizing doesn't gently caress my static!

Was my first thought as well. He's right by Ishgard and part of HW, the trailer's full of HW callouts (like 2 bosses from Lost City Hard), and the FFXIV team loves bringing characters back.

I assumed the Limited thing meant that BLU would be available only to people who preordered Shadowbringer, otherwise you would have to wait for the actual expansion to play BLU.

This would also fit with why the level cap is 50, they don't want preorders to get ahead of the other new jobs in Shadowbringer which will presumably be starting at 50.

They really should have waited till tomorrow for the BLU reveal because the speculation is turning into a game of telephone where everyone is making wild assumptions that feed into other wild assumptions and now people are convinced it actually is going to be a Eureka only class or some dumb meme bullshit like that.

It's not the AF. It's just some reworked gear, like the starting RDM stuff. At the very least I recognize the stupid hat.
