This is happening tomorrow! I've had one or two questions about the mechanics of the event and thought I should post it here:Â
Characters that technically use both magical and physical fighting techniques have to choose one to focus on. However, everyone kinda uses a little bit of aether no matter what they do, so it basically comes down to this definition:
- Are you using your physical body or weapon to hit someone? You’re a mercenary/physical damage wielder. This includes lances, fists, guns, bows, axes, daggers, swords and shields, etc. Dragoons can still do their jumps, monks can still charge chakras, just be sure you're smacking your opponent with a physical attack.
- Are you using spells/aether as your main damage output? i.e. A fireball, fluid aura, a carbuncle, etc. Then you are a caster. Arcanists, thaumaturges, conjurers, scholars, summoners, and everything in between - if you're conjuring something actively aetherial to do your damage, you will be classified as a mage.Â
The only class that will probably have a little confusion is Red Mage because it has a sword and uses magic, but basically, you’d choose to use either the sword or the pew-pew magicks. Make sense? I hope so!Â
