Emerald Weapon might be the best fight in the game. Sure as hell has the best music.

It's... well, I was wrong about the second phase going Big Zam. It's definitely pure-strain Gundam, but I'm not certain if it's any specific part of pure-strain Gundam.

Er, did you miss the part in Ruby Sea where she tortures and kills whole villages and complains that slaughtering kojin isn't nearly as much fun as killing humans?

I'm talking about what she did after regaining her memories. She acted like the villain she used to be, but it was mostly a theatre performance (and an excuse to kill her awful, awful family).

So I don't think most of us want to dig into the datamined stuff, but I have been shown something that's fairly non-spoilery and will kill some time: New skill icons! Most of them, it seems, from the BLU spells. Still spoiling in case people don't like datamining.



The ones I can pick out...

-The two BLU spells they've been showcasing are last on the third row (from the crystal guys around the Lochs), and third on the last row (Suzaku's Kick).
-First on the top row looks like a buff from Lakshmi.
-Fourth on the last row is something from Tsukuyomi.
-Second on the third row is definitely rockets from O11.
-I know second on the last row is a boss I recognize, but I'm blanking on what. Might be last boss of the Swallow's Compass?
-I'm guessing first on the last row is from the final boss of the Temple of the Fist.
-Last on the fourth row... I think is something in Omega M/F's kit.
-Fourth row, second icon might be from Famfrit, but that would mean BLUs can get into alliance raids, which I'm pretty sure they can't. If they can, though, then third on the fourth row would most likely be the self-destruct the Red Chocobo pulls in Rabanastre.
-EDIT: A friend's pointed out that first on the third row is Seiryu.


First on the last row looks like Omega's fists, to me. It has the thrusters on the back and everything.
Third on the fourth row is definitely choco meteor.

Oh for gently caress's sake. Goddamn WoW has more explicit, on-screen gay people than FF14 now for all that 'read them how you want to!' and Eternal Bonding poo poo.

I absolutely understand being annoyed they do not actively say "they gay" but the entire last part of the series involves shot-for-shot remakes of FF8 with Gaia and Ryne in the place of Squall and Rinoa, repeated references to that specific love story, and when Gaia talks to Ryne using exactly the same phrases as she did with her old space boyfriend.

They dating. And if you say that doesn't count I can only ask if you think Rinoa and Squall weren't dating.

Edit: Also Gaia's old space boyfriend was clearly Seifer, right down to his fixation on being a knight.

While I think they absolutely were, I will point out that if you asked them that, you'd get two different answers.

At the very least, Ryne and Gaia are on the same page.

He was an amalgam of Ryne's two dads and her dragon grandpa.
