This is the first time one of these more sci-fi areas is an actual main hub though, so that makes it even more exciting.

I'm not ignoring it, but there's not much to say yet. I'm curious if it'll matter in 7.X or if it'll be a seed for a future expansion.

is there an add-on that lets you enable/disable specific party effects? especially with Picto coming out and looking to put a lot of poo poo on the screen, I'd really like something that lets you see like, the cool big attacks but not the 1-2-3/filler abilities. like something that shows Flare and Foul but not Fire/Blizzard 4. minimal feels really lonely but full effects can look like a mess depending on your party comp.

Yeah, there's a plugin called EasyEyes that lets you block specific VFX, but you'll have to block them all manually. It has a list of recent VFX and you can just pick and block. Unless there's a config preset somewhere, maybe.

That was a lot to go through!

So, even though I was hoping for Green Mage, I knew, in my heart of hearts, it was going to be Pictomancer. When it was first suggested after the TMNT Shirt Reveal, I had a VERY negative reaction, but I think that's just because I don't like Relm.

I've watched the trailer for it, and it looks interesting. I'm absolutely going to give it a shot.

As for the Solution 9 Speculation, my thought is: What if it's tied to the new Eureka/Bozja?

And now, with both Expansion Jobs revealed, the question is: Who will become a Viper? Will they pull another Endwalker, where Zenos became a Reaper, and have an existing foe take up the Job? Or will one of the new NPCs be a Viper? Or maybe even one of the Scions?

Of course, if it's a Scion, who would it be? Alphinaud, Krile, Thancred, Urianger, and Y'shtola are out since they've all had Job changes, and I don't see Estinien changing (though it could happen). Personally, I think it would be neat to see Alisaie become a Viper.

Anyway, Dawntrail Good, Final Fantasy Good, can't wait for pre-orders!

if we get a Viper NPC my guess is it'll be one of the mamool ja who escorts us around, like the one in the main promo artwork (they aren't depicted with any weapons, but that art also has Viper WoL-san so maybe it'd be redundant)

I'm guessing a new friendly is a viper. Maybe the Hrothgar that came to Eorzea to find us, or some other new character from Tural.

It'd be like Lyna repping dancer.

princess is pretty obviously a warrior based on the poster. there doesn't even need to be a major viper npc but if there is, my outside guess is that gulool ja ja hasn't put their swords together yet

Are we sure? I'm pretty sure her "axe" is just the horn / crown thing of the guy below her.

Nah she's definitely got a big axe in the poster that I didn't notice before. Rules her out, but I don't think they'll reassign anyone we know to viper.

Yeah, with Krile changing I don't think we're getting another Scion changing to Viper. EW only had Alphi change to SGE, though Zenos is a much more impactful character than most NPCs. ShB had Thancred change to GNB with Lyna as our DNC representation, but she didn't exist to us before ShB. StB had Alisaie go RDM with SAM being everywhere in Othard, and nobody except Gosetsu was from before StB. HW had nothing, everyone from ARR stayed the same.

Viper is absolutely a Thancred if it was going to be any of the Scions.

Wonder if we'll ever see Estinien change jobs. I mean, he's kind of the dragoon guy, and everything about his story is tied to dragons, but you never know. :shrug:

We're likely getting another Manderville trial fight to complete first, and then 1500 causality to finish it off; there's no way they'd make you spend capped tomes.

If they are going to pick up catlady as a tank, maybe Thancred can move to a job that doesn't use aether, and return to his dual wielding roots.

Gunbreaker's going to require the least aether of any job because he can at least have someone charge his carts.

There's no reason to like majorly gloat or put down Green Mage wanters, but at the same time I feel the need to reiterate that Green Mage does not have a real gameplay identity nor even a particularly strong aesthetic, so I find the fierce demand pretty confusing

Viper originates from Tural in game so I imagine it's gonna be one of the new characters.

This is where I'm at. Like even if it was "green mage" it would have literally zero to do with the FFTA2 job. The idea that it'd be a druid also seems more like complete fan speculation too. (I do think a nature job would be cool though so I get the desire for that)

Seriously though, even if they didn't call it green mage I would have thought at least one of the jobs would be nature themed if the cultures of Tural revere nature and we seem to be getting a natural world vs industrial world type of plot.

i mean at least two of the pictomancer skills we saw were about painting landscapes

also theres sort of no winning cause going to the Colonized Place and getting a class that is the nature's mighty protector shtick with job quests about respecting nature or w/e would be a touch stereotypical, wouldnt it
