In OCE the party stack is forwards and the cone blasts are aimed backwards and it solves this exact problem immediately.

that's a downtime strat though...?

p10s doesn't have a dps check work bothering over uptime (or rather the dps check is how many near party wipes you've suffered)

but also i think you could still squeeze everyone in range? aether was split between e/w tethers and north tethers and i can't remember if i saw someone using s tethers but it all works

How in the gently caress is it a downtime strat, you can position to hit melee attacks easily?

You put the two stacks right at the front and the people taking the cones in close to their pole and slightly backwards on the outside.

It's Slightly South E/W Tethers party North East/North West I probably shouldn't have said backwards though yes.

So what exactly is the deal with this Asura trial they've been having people play at fanfest? Is it coming in 6.55 or what.

It's coming in 6.55 and we don't know what the story hook for it is

My guess is part of the Hildibrand story

After finally unfucking my TV display to not look like rear end (literally just had to change the right settings it seems), XIV is now actually palatable on it. As such I've spent 6 hours today redesigning my console UI from scratch so that I actually have a decent cross hotbar setup. I've decided using the WXHB as a combat hotbar is a trap and have elected to use the EXHB instead.

Reddit is saying that Yoshi-P stated that the TMNT shirt was not a hint for Viper, but for the other Job. Since it's Reddit, I don't take it at face value. I'm at work right now, so I can't really look around that well. Does anyone have a link to him saying that? Thanks in advance!

So now you all know that Dawntrail will feature not one but two new jobs. Alright, and you already know that the second job is to be ranged magic DPS. But as for what that job is, well other than the little hint I dropped back in Las Vegas, you're gonna have to wait until Tokyo. Sorry.

the poo poo doesnt really seem that related to viper anyway. you can say 'donatello uses two swords' but even with as random as yoshi-p's hints can be sometimes i assume he would have gotten a shirt with just leo on it if he wanted to go that direction.

I'm not sure if he explicitly said that later during the EU FanFest, but during the Keynote he said the only "small" hint (exaggeration is YoshiP's/Koji's) we have of the caster Job is from the NA Keynote. Aside from the Viper hint in the trailer, the only other hint was the TMNT shirt, so that's where people are getting it from. They're also saying it did double duty, with the dual wielding, but that might just be hindsight or lucky happenstance.

Yeah it's probably the shirt for either green mage or painter, but likely with the clover design regardless.

But he's not saying it wasn't a hint to both, just that the shirt does in fact hint at the caster DPS. I think it suits the double intent just fine.

Donatello is front and center with the viper weapon

Getting hype for green mage is weird to me because if there was ever an FF job that had no class identity (or at least, no class identity that could possibly translate into FFXIV), it's that one

TMNT is a parody of Daredevil. Weird Al Yankovic is a parody musician. Music is a kind of performance. Another kind of performance is acting. Ergo, the new class is Mime.

Yeah this is where I'm at. Like if it ends up Green mage it'll be something completely new that easily could have been called..Anything. It's like how XIV Sage is FF Sage in name only.

I hope it's the painter thing people talked about. I don't know anything about green mage, but just the name "green mage" is extremely boring and I'm already biased against it because of that alone

Because plants and nature are cool af and I wanna be a final fantasy druid. It could very well not be that but im hype at the possibility. Why are people hype for anything?

my actual answer is that [Color] Mage is a cool FF Thing and green mage is the only one left if you dont count FFXI's brown mage joke. they also have a very cool aesthetic in their few appearances between the beret and cloaks, and FFTA2 gamers are out here begging for scraps

Yeah it’s a little odd but I think that’s actually part of the reason people get excited for it. Everyone’s got their own idea of what Green Mage will be like in their heads and the thing they made up is probably something they want.

Thanks for the link and quote!

And yeah, I can see the shirt being primarily a hint for the Caster DPS Job and also hinting at Viper.


Arist posted:

For me, it's for that specific reason: There's no real existing identity to base it on, so it's probably going to be a whole new thing.

This is my first Fan Fest, but I think that for a Job that didn't exist pre-FF14, Reaper turned out great, so I'm expecting the same thing for Viper and the possibility of Green Mage.

I know! I totally get that, but Yoship said he doesn't wanna be constrained by those limitations, right? Green is the color of nature, it might not even be called green mage, we as the community are just using it for simplicity sake

E:then again the Clover is def a green mage reference or a nature reference so idk. But I'm hype just because of the possibility yknow?

It's also not like a nature theme exclusively comes from the color green. The peoples of Tuliyollal are noted to be more aligned with nature than industry, so if they also want to have the caster come from Tural it's possible they go with that angle.

Yup. Like, if they had shown us Viper, but didn't tell us the Job name, we'd probably be calling it Thief, since it reminds a lot of people of Zidane.

Whatever it ends up being called, I'm extremely interested to find out about it.

This!

The clover could be unrelated to the job at all. It isn't a jobstone.

Clovers also appear on other stuff and can be associate with gambling or luck too.
