[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Insaniac]

Dagger looks way more like a sword or club WS. That's some serious air he is getting. I'm really happy to see entirely new animations. The effect on the DRK WS looks really cool.

[Riaurio]

The JP version has some text below the WSs. Any idea what it says?

idk why it has become standard procedure to only give us scraps of information half*** copy/paste jobs from day old dev posts in the jp forums.

It always reminds me of a dog sitting under a dinner table begging for scraps, and when he finally gets a bone he's so excited that he finally got something, he doesn't think about the fact that all the good parts have been eaten.

But what do I know... Im just an LOLNA player in a 1337JP game. So I guess I should just be gratefull to get any info!

Who cares about archery WS... Marksmanship please.

Please give staff a good physical weapon skill. Retribution is just bad.

The jp name makes no sense for the dagger. Its like "The Executive Counte's Letter". I tried as hard as I could but I cant find a better translation.

The samurai one is "the sword that destroys the light"

very nice! I'm liking the ridiculously loud animations - continuing the trend set by the job-specific emotes. I, too, hope they are pretty easily attainable.

Nice Weapon Skills. Let us level into them or, at the very least, be able to quest our way into them a la Nyzul Isle. And for Altana's sake don't pander to Empyrean owners' egos and make them mere eye candy--I like how that Archery WS looks, though.

Can't wait to find out the rest of them, particularly H2H, Sword (and whether RDM will be allowed to use it), and Staff.

My dream would be that to have QUESTS, with characters, text to read, maybe some cutscenes as well.
I mean, we're talking about the hyper mega uber FINAL weapon skill, we won't get any other after these.

Altough I guess that would be too much work for a team as small as the FFXI one currently is.
Guess it will be much easier for them to implement a Nyzul-like system, maybe using the -100 floors they're adding to Nyzul pretty soon.
