Job Action thoughts? - Orlog - 05-30-2013
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2RghB8r4tA
A new, but short, video has been released on Job Actions! As per usual, they've left the information completely free of any explanations. So... what do you guys think about 'em?
Are these the regular abilities for the jobs? I can't help but notice how much more bigger and flashy everything is, so I just assumed that said abilities were something extra fancy. Ohh, the possibilities.
...Either way, Bard used her harp. BARD USED HER HARP.

I really liked how White mage floated off the air when casting holy

The Monk combo seems a bit clunky, but I suppose that the tempo actually fits the tempo of the current battle-system.

Monk is everything I've been dreaming about. Can't wait to get my hands back on Endemerrin.

I miss my old Steel Cyclone sound effect.

My thoughts: Wow. xD
I think the only ones that looked a bit weird to me were Paladin (seemed to move too quick/abrupt? I duno) and Monk (seemed to just disappear behind their sparklies). Could certainly get used to them!
But.. awesome. So awesome.

Pacing of the sword and lance skills are pretty accurate, which was surprising. I was expecting to see crazy, unrealistic flurries of attacks that make bullets look like they were standing still.
Comparatively, Monk animations are really, REALLY slow - only a little faster then the axe and lance animations. This is counter-intuitive since heavy weapons should theoretically have much slower follow-up strikes due to inertia.
And magic is... well... magic.Â
Meh, it's all phinal phantasy, anyway. Screw physics.

Some very nice animations in there, and an emphasis on things that look neat without adding piles of particle effects on. I especially liked how both Paladin and Dragoon have at least one action that involves turning and stabbing the target, and there's a real sense of gravity behind each motion.
I am reminded of how desperately I want Ninja and Musketeer now, but I have faith. (Patience, not so much.)

Very flashy, but good animation for all of the classes.

I agree on Aysun's analyzation of the Paladin's animation. It seems like the Paladin studders a bit compared to the smoothness of the Warrior and especially, the Monk. Worries me a bit since I'm shooting for that Job.
Other then that, astonishing animations.

Scholar is supposed to be shown at E3 as a job. So looking forward to seeing it. What does a scholar do by the way?

*playfully rolls his eyes and ignores the comment*
What does the scholar do as a FF job?
And I think Dragoon looked damn damn good. I liked Paladin too. Really wish there was a fast dps dual sword class though.
RE: Job Action thoughts? - Ryanti - 05-31-2013
I honestly couldn't tell you.
Kinda came out of left field despite the rumors.
There should be some form of informative post on the Lodestone I suspect?
RE: Job Action thoughts? - Varus - 05-31-2013
According to FF wiki, Scholars are like Red Mages without the sword/dagger skills or the armor flexibility. In exchange, Scholars have a wider range of Black and White Magic spells than Red Mages.
