New Limit Break Animations in 3.0

DRG LB looks awesome now.

Good Job SE!

I saw riot blade followed by another attack on the Paladin... I'm giddy now. 3rd hit combo to Riot Blade me thinks? Then again, the attack came pretty quickly after, so it might be just an off GCD skill.

Here are the things we know about the new limit breaks:

• Only level 3 limit breaks will be changed; levels 1 and 2 will remain the same, except for Bard who will get all new ones
• Each existing level 3 limit break will remain with one job that has it now, i.e. BLM will keep Meteor while SMN will get a new level 3
• Only animations will be changed, effects will remain the same, again except for Bard
• New jobs will follow the same rules, i.e. Astrologian will get Celestial Stasis as its level 3 limit break animation, but it will still resurrect all party members and heal them to full HP the same as WHM or SCH

I personally assume that all this means Bard and Machinist will get the same level 1 and 2 limit breaks (ranged physical damage), and different level 3s with the same effect. This hasn't been expressly confirmed though.

Maybe the new combo has its last part as an off gcd skill? Might have some effect that is desirable to use even outside the combo, but naturally if one could do so try and keep it for said combo.

I wonder which melee DPS class will be keeping Omnislash. None of them actually use swords....

Omnislash is lvl 2, meaning they all will have it since only lvl 3 changes (thats the one Yda used in the ending btw.)

Sources? From what I've heard so far, all the limit break effects will remain identical for all jobs, meaning Bard's will still have a healing skill. Don't misunderstand, I'd love to see a DPS limit break for Bards, but it hasn't been indicated anywhere as far as I can tell.
