Red Mage History

The red mage is one of the oldest and more iconic jobs in FF history. Though it's iconic look today identifies it as itself, this wasn't always the case....

It's certainly possible that Red Magic could be based on Sharlayan study, but it always felt, to me, that Sharlayan's were far more scholarly in magic study and probably wouldn't be the type to...

Suppose the first spells at the beginning of the combat roll, were Chainspell and the two spells that would be connected to it, and then suppose that the final spell in the roll (the magic burst) was...

Introduction

Welcome to my lengthy Red Mage Video Analysis and Theorycrafting thread. Although there appear to be other threads that discuss the reveal, I want to get more into the nitty-gritty...

How do you use shield swipe on a dummy?

More importantly, how do you get enmity on a dummy?

I'll spam Royal Authority till sunrise!

(Psst! Dummies aren't a good source of DPS information).

Wow, okay... let's back up here get some things clear.

First, when it comes to damage, the tank classes are not going to be on par with the DPS not because of damage bonuses or damage boosts...

Pugilist: Pugilists are fist-fighters that fight at extreme close range. striking foes from the rear and flank with an array of punches and kicks. The pugilist's unique trait is Greased Lightning,...

The main issues with Machinists have little to nothing to do with the damage output of Machinists.The capability of constant ranged fire while on the move presents a huge advantage that most melee...

I hate speculating about the plot like this, because I'm usually right or very close on the mark. But here goes...


2.55 Part 2
-Begins with the Attack on Ishgard and the destruction of the...

Thanks for posting these.


So while the graphical attachment idea was scrapped there's a number of little ideas here that hint at the sort of weapons and turrets/gadgets that a Machinist might...

I'm kinda hoping they don't push too hard on certain character scripts. It's difficult enough with many players having trouble pronouncing Elezen and Roe names correctly, I'd rather they didn't...

Recent PAX East report strongly suggests that Machinists will get an off-hand item (similar to a shield) on their side. Looks very toolbox-like.

So in addition to our main gun, Machinists will...

I'm skeptical as well. We simply don't have enough information on them yet, hence my multiple posts regarding the possible different origins. Just covering every avenue.

And like the other races...

Earrings on horns. Issue solved.

Now it's time for wild...

Thanks Fern!

EDIT: If you don't mind Fern, I'm going to put(copy) your post on the opening post as I think the information is valuable enough that it needs to be in there. It's already pretty...

As many of you no doubt noticed (here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okypXypR80U&feature=youtu.be) , au ra males have scales going down their back right in center of their bodies in the same...

Hard to say, even Estinien, the previous Azure Dragoon, wasn't wearing something as elaborate the Heavensward artifact armor.

I think that the armor set belongs to higher ranking, or the highest...

Of course, but to be extra specific, players do have some control over some proportions. Players can adjust the height of their characters in addition, female characters can their bust line...

Can we have the Job and New Race videos uploaded as well? I'd like to use them as part of a discussion and would love to have an official high-quality source for it.

I don't think they look weak in terms of modeling, but I do understand your point and what you're talking about. I think we'll see some options come the benchmark, but bear in mind that once that...

PAX SE Booth has costumes of the Au Ra starting gear up for display. Somewhat more interesting is the wigs.

Hard to tell, but they may have subtly revealed another set of hairstyles for the Au...

I think what we really need to understand is whether or not Ishgard is a theocracy or an oligarchy. It might better explain how the government structure works. Let's start with a few things...

...

Regardless of whether or not Au Ra are a new creation or something pulled from the existing lore and made playable, the au ra take some interesting cues from earlier and existing art, or perhaps vice...

Thanks for the praise. I've got some more stuff I working on now, but I don't think I'll have the time to post it until next week. I do want to ask the lore guys something (if they even read this...
