Because I should expect non-english in a game that is english. How about no.

I liked the name merton...kaustra sounds weird to me, at least Merton had the FF nostalgia attached to it

Spell/JA Update notes posted on the JP forum. I'm off to work so I'll just highlight a few (my jobs mostly. Sorry!)

BLM, WHM and RDM are all getting some very nice spells and abilities. (0 mp for next spell, party magic def up, quick magic - breakga & comet for BLM, holy II and what looks like an occasionally attack twice spell for RDM.) So I'm quite happy about that.

Tabula Rasa is being extended from 30 seconds to 90 seconds. Merton (I forget the new name) and Aura (name changed from Brave) both cost 30% of you max MP and are learned at lv5. SCH also gets the natural upgrades, Raise III, Reraise III, Fire V, Bliz V, etc. WHM learns Addle.

BLU gets the notorious monster ability and 5 more set points. There's an image but I'm not sure what ability that is. SMN is getting the Carbuncle and Ramuh pacts. Nothing else mentioned. Horde Lullably II for BRD and some other songs. Lots more info for other jobs as well. I'm just on my way to work so I don't have time to post the all. They will be up momentarily I'm sure.

They're all posted in the English forum too

I remember self proclaimed AV experts claiming Comet would be light and meteor dark. It's funny. Comet is darkness, guess what meteor is.

They weren't when I started typing!

I'm... kinda disappointed.



Just so the dev's know raise 3 wasn't the update to light arts we were all hoping for.

I can understand that due to balance issues scholar cannot use some of the more more popular spells as blm or whm. But i feel that under certain circumstances we should be allowed to wield greater magic than what we have already.

Merton is such a great addition to scholar, but to only allow its use under tabula rasa is kind of a let down. it seems to be a powerful spell and i understand the development team wanting to limit our use of it. I have also noticed that the community has issues with sch not being able to cast higher tier cure spells. Cure v in particular.

As a sch, i know my place in being a hybrid of the two job, and i have no intention of wanting to soar above them. But i think there could be provisions made to enhance scholars hybrid role.

A set of stratagems that act like the newly implemented blue mage ability that allows it to use HNM abilities. I haven't gone as far to come up with a name for these abilities, but i will outline what they can do:

Ability 1) under the effect of Addendum White, consumes 2-3 stratagems and allows user to use additional white magic spells: cure v, holy(1), auspice.

Ability 2) under the effect of Addendum: Black, consumes 2-3 stratagems and allows user to use additional black(dark also) magic: -ja spells, comet/meteor, aspir 2, drain 2.

All of that may seem like a lot of things to just give sch, but i implore anyone reading this to consider the impact of using 2-3 stratagems for one spell. That alone seems to be a large enough penalty for the use of such high tier spells. Although if that is not enough, i guess adding an additional mp and/or casting time penalty to the spell in use could be another thing to consider.
