If you notice Riot Blade came IMMEDIATELY after Shield Lob without Fast Blade. The point was to demonstrate Riot Blade has a new combo move and expedite the show case. It's not interesting to watch the PLD go through a whole combo.

Also... no job uses Omni-slash... Level 1 is Braver, level 2 is Blade Dance. Monk will retain Final Heaven.

Level 3 dps is Final Haven, which is a MNK LB (Tifa used it in VII.)

Are they going to make healer Limit Break less terrible? (animation lock on healer and no invulnerability for revive)

• 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 thought Yoshi said that existing lvl 3 LBs would become some of the new class/job skills instead (e.g. Meteor becomes a BLM skill) and that lvl 3 LBs would be new for all Jobs.

Eh? I thought Yda used some riddiculusly OP spell that only archons can use that looked a lot like Final Heaven but totally wasn't.

Looks like they gave some jobs a couple new animations for regular attacks/spells too.

It also needs to restore the MP of the caster since it rezs everyone with full MP, TP, and HP.

Those are the new skills that come with the level cap increase. The benchmark will essentially showcase them.

If it does combo off riot blade, please SE lower tp cost of riot blade! Or make the new hit 50 tp!
