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. :/

lol the sword one is called Requiescat, has SE been playing assassin's creed (and judging from the announced Ezio costume for FFXIII-2 they have)

and I love finally seeing new character animations for WSs as opposed to reused animations with new tacked on effects

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

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.

Mp/hp drain sure.... the tp drain would only work if it gave it to your party and not you.

1) Drain TP
2) Use TP.
3)Profit.

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

By good, I mean better than Savage Blade. Even Sanguine Blade is a decent one for RDM.

Staff looks awesome! Hope the dmg is better than retribution.
