Do we know anything yet about the new classes besides their identities and roles?

Not really. Each one got a short, 30 second or so teaser that shows what a couple skills look like. We probably won't know anything substantial like their gimmicks or what rotations might look like until the larger combat preview in May.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
If it's like the SB one then it's going to be super long and super cool.

I don't remember the full details of the SB one but I'd expect this one to last ~3.5 hours.

I do remember the SB one to be very thorough for samurai, red mages, and black mages. I can't remember how much indepth info we got for the others. We'll probably get a lot of info for the new jobs plus any largely reworked ones (MCH, DRK, maybe WHM. SMN and MNK) and some bits for the others.

so the shadowbringers collectors edition finally went on sale in Australia at Eb games 7 minutes ago and it is already out of stock. Took 4 minutes of refreshing the webpage after 11 am for it to show up for me and it was already sold out. :(

The PC version sold out in under five and the PS4 version was gone in less than two. It’s tremendously lovely for those that missed out and particularly for people that wanted it and don’t go to Reddit where it seemed like the news it was coming originated from (and less than 24 hours ago, at that). I’m really sorry buddy :(

It’s little consolation I know but if you were mainly after it for the statue there should be plenty of them around in the months following release.

I wonder if they're also going to discuss the crafter changes then. They've said they're making significant changes IIRC and with one of the big endgame things being rebuilding Ishgard it'd be nice to know beforehand what they've got planned.

At some point in the past couple of years Yoshi P mentioned he isn't happy with omnicrafter being essentially a requirement and they are looking to make people who want to just do one be able to get by so my guess is more homogenized role actions.

That's been their general schedule two expansions now. I think Yoshida even said he expects it'll be a 3-4 hour live letter on the combat/job changes.

If I remember right, they showed off Inner Release for WAR and there were jokes about how Warriors basically just got more fell cleaves and it was good.

I was in full augmented shire and still only got by with just the skin of my teeth. Prioritize her summoning circles and adds. An Astral 3 Fire 1 is enough to take out the thunder orbs to keep them off of you, but pack some smelling salts in case of paralysis (I never remember to bring curatives and I really should).

My issue with BLM at 60 is getting greedy with Fire 4 and letting Enochian drop. I'll need to get out of that bad habit right quick.

Yeah, my gear set is at 179. It's not my main class and I haven't been spending enough on equipment. I got her eventually.

Edit: still wearing the Brand-new Ring, lmao

Edit 2: also I accidentally bought 230 primal gear for two slots instead of Shire earlier today

Shadowbringer teaser site is up. You can get to it following this link.

Many interesting, if a bit short, information. (spoilers, just in case)


Dancer is Thavnarian, while Gunbreaker is Hrothgar's desplicine from Isabard. That kinda explain the magitech angle, and why it is different from Garlean's technique. Interesting enough, the Hrothgar of Northern Ilsabard is ruled by a Queen.

Look like Kholusia is First's Vylbrand. Will the Dwarves be where the Kobolds are in the Source?

Amh Araeng looks to be where Thanalan is?

Rak'tika is in the First, equivalent of Black Shroud?


I'm looking for more already.

Only if it's all actually derived from Garlean tech, which it doesn't really sound like and more feels like "yeah these cool cats from up north have been passing down sicknasty gunkata techniques for generations" which :lol:

I really wish we could sell incorrectly bought Tomestone items, even for a window of a couple of hours or something. I can't count the number of times I've bought the wrong gobweed for upgrading shire items. "This is illumanti gobweed all right," Seika says, "but I only smoke the dankest stuff when working on Shire gear, mate."

They mention that the dwarves circulate around Mt. Gulg. Given that they're on Kholusia and Vylbrand's version of a volcano-y mountainous region would be O'ghoromo, I think that's a safe assumption.

Rak'tika Greatwood mentions Ronkan Ruins, which is a nice FFV nod. Maybe we'll see more of those fan enemies.

Please look forward to it in 2021, when they finally listen to everyone's complaints and realize how dumb it was to release two half realized races instead of one fully realized race. Or maybe we'll get a Merlwyb or Yugiri situation where they have a specific model made well in advance just to tease the playerbase even more.
