Comet/Meteor

[Zyeriis]

Adding a spell that can be cast while under the effect of Tabula Rasa.

I know they found, in a recent .dat mining expedition from that last VU that they added a .dat for black magic casting Comet/Meteor. Now that I've read the above quote in their list for what they want to do with Scholar...well, am I the only concerned that they intend to give Comet to Scholar and not Black Mage? Maybe they'll both get it, and maybe I'm just paranoid (probably only the latter), or maybe I'm just trying to stir up pointless, potentially rage-inducing purely-speculative frenzy that has absolutely no direct proof discussion because I have nothing better to do at the moment (doesn't matter) but, knowing Square and how backwards they can be sometimes...

Anyway, the Black Mage notes didn't really hint at Comet at all while that last line of Scholar does (to a degree). Thoughts?

The black mage notes don't, but the quote from vanafest where they announced the cap being lifted, job changes, etc... did.

The joy of black magic is that of blast, blast, blasting your enemies away-even if you don't always survive the battle-and we plan to further explore this path.
To that end, black mages can look forward to adding Meteor (strength and attributes yet to be determined) to their spellbooks in the none-too-distant future!

Edit: Decided to go find the page to link so I wasn't just talking out my ass.

Scholar will probably get Comet and BLM will get Meteor. The little note about SCH learning spells comparable to WHM and BLM makes me think that even more now. I think that is fine. The problem is that now I'm afraid comet will be limited to Tabula Rasa. . .

Sch never.

That .dat has been there forever. And, for that matter, both spells have as well, just available only to monsters.

The .dat where theres an actual black magic casting and then the spell going off or just the spell going off animation? Obviously the latter was always there as Comet is used by certain enemies (as well as meteor).

Edit: The 1:47 mark in the video is Comet.
Double Edit: Maybe the actual person-casting Comet/Meteor has always been in the .dats, I don't know, but it seems to have been, at the very least, added again in the last update.

I hope sch doesn't get comet....they should get more spells that are unique and different, not just mirrors or pale imitations of what a blm or whm can do....they are battle strategists, not ghetto blm or ghetto whm lol

BLM meteor while under Manafont
SCH comet while under Tabula Rasa

You know it's going to happen.

Um...SCH will get Ultima (as its had a fair usage as White and Black Magic in previous titles), BLM will get comet/Meteor, WHM will get Holy II
