[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Rosalie]

Why? Are weapon skills crashing 360 now? only problem I ever had was D/C at the end of every besiege. Is it really that bad now?

Actually, I had heard from several friends that Tachi: Gekko frequently crashed their 360's. I only ever got on there to unlock the achievements anyways when I was at a friend's house.

I think she's referring to the fact that the test server is only available for PC. (PS2 players aren't real people, so she left them out.)

I daresay they will be skill based - as we havnt had a new ws since skill 300ish.. So it's definitely overdue.

Scythe looks to me like a 3-hit. G.K looks like a single hit. Dagger looks single also. Archery looks like a multi-hit close range. Of course as said - these are only pictures so hard to tell.

PS. Scythe looks badarse.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but I saw some people thinking that these WS would be from new weapons...

The weapons used in the pictures are all NQ models(as in models used repeatedly) other than Gandiva, which I doubt is getting two WS's.

In the Empyreal WS video, all the weapons used were Empyreans.

They all seems to be multi hit.

Not bad at all. The sword WS looks a little less flashy than the rest to me, but that's just my opinion. Overall good job! The new animations are refreshing(I especially like the mithra flip during great sword WS). Let's hope they are powerful enough to not be useless. If these truly are "final" WS, then they are supposed to demonstrate the pinnacle of weapon mastery and should be strong. Can't wait to see the rest in action.

Edit: RDM better be able to use new sword WS natively or I will RAAAAAAAAAAGE. :/

No chance. FFXI will close down before SE will ever allow RDM to use any potentially good Sword WS not locked to a weapon.

There are good sword WS's not locked to a weapon?
