[FF14 Mobile]Class Showcase

The elixir field animation looks funny.
Well, what I won't play won't bother me.

Ngl it didn't look bad. For the sake of the current game I wanted it to look a lot worse. God forbid the monetization isn't bad either, and it may be a problem lol.

Edit: After analyzing the trailer some more I had to edit my comment. There is no way this doesn't affect the main game. A lot of this stuff looks so much better in their own ways and especially for the game up to level 50. It's literally an admittance that jobs like summoner suck at those levels. Like they said they did a complete rework but they never finished the job. And wtf paladin getting a gap closer at level 50!? or below!?!?!?

There are other examples too and I actually like how it looks like actual attack damage might be something again.

The Monk machine gun hand laser (Elixir Field) is weird.

my copium is that this is a sign of future changes in 8.0
but odds are square enix had absolutely nothing to do with this game and the fact it already has tons of the main games issues fixed already

You'll hate me for saying it, but you all know it's possible. Tell me you can't see all of those buttons mapped to a controller for an MMO where a sizable chunk of the playerbase (especially in Japan) plays on console.

I was thinking the same thing. This gameplay looks sorta like a watered down but flashier version of what we currently have, so I wouldn't be surprised if they just take it in this direction going forward for the PC version as well. Especially if the mobile version is a big success where metrics are concerned.

also lol at summoner looking almost 1:1 identical to capped smn in the pc version. literally built for a mobile gaming experience. god what a joke

Im thinking the same thing.

This is the copium talking but what if this is a look at the level squish or 8.0 job reworks. I know many people are really leaning on the 8.0 rework to reinspire them to play the game.

Yoshida has at least allegedly been overseeing most aspects of it, and had a couple statements in the reveal trailer about how jobs in the main game had been getting redesigned to be easily translatable to mobile. EW SMN might very well have been a preview of 8.0 jobs a full 5 years in advance.

Looks fine for a mobile game but I don't find it as impressive as some here.

Well, if that’s the case, where the main game is headed to be 1:1 with mobile, it’ll be time to leave the game. They turned the whole thing into a mobile joke at that point. Not a serious game.

Because it isn't.
Every time someone says it "looks impressive for a mobile game" what they really mean is that it's impressive for a device the size of a graphing calculator with absolutely terrible controls that produces 95% shovelware...so not really impressive in the grander scheme of things.
