![]() They were using moves to shape and craft the item towards a final product, tweaking it as they went in hopes of producing a higher quality item as the final result. Then they switched to a lvl.10 Carpenter and suddenly their gear and 'weapon' changed and they knelt at a log to actually work on it in real time. They used skills to search for trees, 'mined' some logs and returned to Gridania. It showed a lvl.1 Botanist in the central Shroud. That is until i saw a new none combat preview. Then FFXIV comes along and after the 1.0 debacle it really was not on my radar as WoW kept me happy as it had yet to hit its massive late Mists of Pandaria quality decline and 'The Decade of Lightning' really put me off Final Fantasy as a whole at the time and so i had no interest in FFXIV. Sadly however my early experiences in Online games basically summed up crafting as: farm stuff just to make the same stuff for a few ranks till you reach a new material to do the same with till max rank when you make one thing for raiding and thats it. ![]() Perhaps more gear set reveals for the next artefact tier would have been good but with 6 months before release the collectors edition confirmation and the release date of June 21st was better than nothing. More zone and enemy previews would have been very welcome since more Primals and Omega Weapon were already a certainty at this point. There is nothing i disliked here but it didn't really reveal what we will be doing beyond 'playing more FFXIV'. Honestly? kind of a bit of a meh event compared to the US fanfest and i hope the EU one is better. Aside from that though there wasn't much information about stormblood proper this time around, with the real reveals being promised for Frankfurt. The new raids 'Return to Ivalice' and 'Beyond Time: OMEGA' and a tie in event for a 'mature sentai' series from one of the megaten artists. We also had information on the new Beast Tribe of Lamia, the allagan experiments had to come from something right? and their primal. BST could be a possibility but characters like Raubhan have been teases for BLU for a good while now. I would be completely unsurprised if BLU is the new tanking job in Stormblood. That is a 1 for 1 description of how a Blue Mage works. Peter Parker was bitten by a Spider and gained the abilities of a spider. Amongst other guesses like "web swinging means PUP confirmed" my personal leaning is the straight forward one. But the people who want SAM reaalllly want SAM in XIV and like the new Ridley in Smash its going to be pushed at every opportunity because that thirst is strong. Some are certain it alludes to Sam Raimi which naturally means "SamU Rai-mi", because shut up reasons. This time it was Spiderman and i have NEVER seen people argue and bitch this much in the community. Though personally i am glad it looks like more of a faithful incarnation than BLM turned out to be. It is my main FFXI job returning and it looks both similar enough to that and fresh enough in terms of XIV jobs that it may replace NIN as my new main job in XIV. There isn't too much known mechanically other than this Jobs mechanic is called "Chainspell" or "Spell Linking" which i could imagine meaning casting certain spells in one school strengthens one school of magic and weakens others and perhaps a balance allows for RDM specific spells to be used? I suppose we will see in the EU fanfest in Frankfurt in about 8 weeks time.įor now i am happy. Using a Rapier and Crystal the job will have you combine the two to form a stave for spells at range, then boost forwards to pierce the enemy with a barrage of physical strikes from the split rapier and crystal then blink away again to pop off a large spell like Flare. On the whole it is an interesting looking class. In some mechanics it is surprisingly similar to XI in a way that has finally gotten some diehard XI playing friends to finally make the jump from Vanadiel to Eorzea. So first off in a reveal that surprised pretty much nobody FFXIV is getting its third Mage class with Red Mage and as i expected it is still the fencing musketeer archetype from XI.
