Comet/Meteor

[Kimara]

I'm expecting Comet and Meteor to end up like Holy lol. Why in the world would SCH get Ultima...

[OMEGA_HACK]

Because in the past FF titles it has been either White Magic or Black Magic, and the SCH 2hr utilizes both Light and Dark simultaneous, it makes logical sense, but this is SE we are talking about, so...

The Tabula Rasa spell is going to be Comet which makes sense as SCH already has spells active only when in specific addenda.

Link to confirmation?

Also would it be modified by penury/celerity or parsimony/alacrity?

Hence this thread ^^;

I won't deny that it could potentially be ultima but I didn't really see any .dats in that video that could really fit ultima. Not that they could've just excluded ultima from the .dats in that update and are going to add it in the actual update. I digress.

I do wonder what the actual potency/damage potential of comet/meteor is going to be, regardless of which job they get pinned to. Especially once we compare it to tier 5 black magic and the damage the mob-versions of these spells can do. See: Promathia vs Behemoth vs Rani in terms of Meteor damage

This then leads me back to being curious about what the spell is that will be tied to Tabula Rasa. Also makes me wonder what that means for other 2 hours getting another thing attached to them. Though this train of thought strays from the original topic of the thread: which boils down to "Comet = Tabula Rasa?", it does make me wonder what they can do with other 2 hours such as Benediction (Reviviscencega?) and Meikyo or Mijin Gakure (add auto reraise?). /off-topic train of thought

In the last Version update, a new comet was added to the dats. Granted this Tabula Rasa spell is supposed to be worthy of a 2hr, it make sense for SCH since BLM would then be free to have Meteor.

There is no precedent for Ultima but there is for Comet.

So just more speculation then. Okay.

If SCH get's Ultima i'll come back from Hiatus.

Well first off, why can't sch have Comet (single target) and BLM have Comet (single) AND meteor (AoE, like the Behemoth's)?

Then give Ultima to SCH when under Tabla Rasa, also please note that the manifesto is talking levels 91-99 not 91-95, so Ultima would be something added @99 (more than likely due to is precedents in other games) and that meaning it doesn't HAVE to be in the .dats just yet so there is no reason to rule it out yet.

So this is how I see it playing out:

BLM learns Comet @93
SCH learns Comet @97
BLM learns Meteor @99
SCH learns Ultima* @99

*Only under the influence of Tabla Rasa

Thinking about Ultima a little harder I've come to the conclusion that we won't be getting the spell "Ultima" as a form of Ultima is already in the game: Proto Ultima and the Ultima from the Airship fight (most everyone already knows this). Ultima can be either a spell or a monster (potentially summonable, depending on game) but there hasn't been an instance of both the spell Ultima and the monster Ultima within the same final fantasy game before.

Can anyone think of such an instance? If not, then it's highly unlikely anything will be getting Ultima as a spell, aside from Summoner, which is even more unlikely.
