FFXIV Sneak peek inside Job Weapon skills

I like the Monk one. Although you wouldn't use it in very tight situations due to animation lock. The person who spams it is just asking for constant dying.

People didnt have a problem with animation lock in FFXI, why would they have a problem here? adapt and live.

animations locks are peoples own mistakes. its ok to be stuck in an animation lock if you now when its safe to be in one. If your stuck in an animation at the wrong time its cause you did the WS at the wrong time.

People need to remember that the level cap is still 50! You cant have the coolest stuff ever in the "early" levels!

PS: I think they're pretty cool

My thoughts exactly.

Also, is it me or is the graphics quality higher than our current client has? The shadows seem more realistic, maybe they finally fixed AO in their internal build?

Based in the time line, the Graphical portion of the new engine is already complete so it's very possible.

The WAR is alright I suppose... I hope these aren't prime examples of the new animations though as I'm expecting much better!

The monk one looks cool except what she does at the end>.< Warrior is poorly design. It need to be change right now! Need something more agressive with better animation..

Thank you for the thread creation while I was still in bed all warm and cozy. :p
Instead of making all of you lovelies go to the original dev. post, I shall post them in here! Oh the power!

We present to you, the first preview of job weapon skills featuring Monk and Warrior!

Level 99 mobs, perhaps?...nah, not likely.

At the end of the MNK WS he goes, 'You got served!'

also dat MNK head piece.

Very cool indeed, but nice animation like this = very bad action lock... hmmm..

Flippy Flippy Flippy

The "breakdancing" move is pretty common way of getting up. Or I assume so since I have seen the move done in almost every martial arts fest released. Kind of surprised anyone would be bitching about something like that, but then I remember where I am at. . .

It's because it's channeling momentum since doing a round house kick of any kind will give you quite a bit of momentum and it has to go somewhere lol, sure people can get fancy about it but it is what it is.

so what do you propose? that you slide away during the WS or break the WS animation like in early release?

Yes this is exactly what we want, we want to be able to run away from the mob and play the WS animation without even looking at the mob! We want to slide around on the ground as we're buffing ourselves since it won't look silly at all.

Haha, yep this is exactly what we want for weapon skills and abilities :D!

(I do remember that though, was good times cuz it looked so ridiculous.)

Well, don't complain. As a future Black Mage I know the most "extreme" animation will be moving one arm a little.

The videos look really nice, huh kinda suspicious that we're getting some of this info the same week the game goes P2P. Interesting *puts tin foil hat on*

I don't know, I always thought that 'spell charge' animations were among my favorites. Though that's probably some influence from Avatar. Some pretty heavy waving around during your cast time, probably with an arcane pattern being drawn, that'd be cool.

White Mage
Chainspell - Cast time of the next spell is zero.
Benediction - Instantly recover HP of all party members.
Esuna - Removes weakness.
Regen - Regenerates HP over time.
Holy - Consumes all MP to damage enemies around you. Additional effect: "Bind"



No RDM?

No matter how many times I've watch the MNK ws, it impresses me every time. I'm tempted to try it in real life.

You hang a rolenberry off the end of it and stay very still. Then, once your prey sneaks up close to get at the tasty treat, WHAM! haymaker followed by breakdancing on his/her face!!!

They are epic Dev mobs that are on steroid cookies :o

Monk one looked a little lacking but the warrior one was pretty cool.

Monk one was boss as hell. Warrior one looked kinda weird.

MOOOOOONK.

That is all. :D

Monk looked sick. The movement of it was great.

Its the gear in the vid that made it for me! The concepts come to life! I'm very pleased and impressed! Can't wait to see the other Jobs now!

I need to find the appropriate breakitdown soundtrack for when I get MNK and I start servin' mobs left and right.

funny lots of people on JP side actually complaining about the MNK's WS I like it personally, just wish they add little bit more weight or charging for the player to start the drop kick. Also for the Warrior looks nice but makes the axe too light so maybe add some more effect to make it look like there is weight of axe involved.
