Final 24 man raid boss for SB maybe? Maybe?!

Zalera!

But probably, I can see him as the boss for the raid. FFXII, best FF ever! <3

That's actually Altima...

At least the whole Ivalice being not connected thing is moot.

Yet bunny ears for males not implemented yet. I guess they wanted males to play as viera to have bunny ears -_-

Guess If they do plan on adding Samurai with this expansion it will be Tank. Guess I can go into this expansion dissatisfied. RIP excitement for me. Time to cry myself to sleep.

Those are Ultima's forms from FFT.

Not entirely. I'm still on the "Ivalice is NOT on Hydaelyn" boat. If anything, the Void is up to its old tricks again. Ivalice is massive, yo.

Not directly connected as much as we will have a version of it in 14. This is already the case as many of the locations in FF12 are referenced as territories currently under Garlean control.

Altima and zalera are so similar...I mean a lot of FFXII summons are like cousins of the original FF summons (belias and ifrit for example). Still, great to see the "return to ivalice" even if it's not 100% ivalice, it's going to be a return in some way. They wouldn't make a logo just for name reference.

Did someone say Viera?

Viera pls *continues to beg for the rest of the expansion*

Why do FFXII mobs roam Eorzea?
Not even redesigns it's literally them

Which could mean that the 24-man raids are going to be focused on freeing the nation of Ivalice.

OOH BOY!!!!
Red mage DPS -CHECK!
Spell and skill chaining -CHECK!
SWORD WIELDING DPS! -CHECK!CHECK!CHECK!

ranged DPS.... oh man...
I wanted it melee.

lots of jumps.
Long range dragoon.... interesting.

So it might not be the Ivalice, then? I'm fine with that.

After seeing swimming added and the fact that the animation is basically identical to Tidus' swimming animation in FFX, I stand by this.

That is literally the same with most FF games. Its not like Tonberries usually get major redesigns for every game. Or Morbols.

Ivalice in FF14 will be like Crystal tower. A reference worked into the lore, history and story of FF14.

Not exactly because the FFXII models look like direct model rips. The Clockwork Knights in Azsl La still have Pulsian text on them? Is Pulse part of Eorzea?
When is the Pulse raid? Big difference between enemy type and straight up reusing assets so the worlds must be connected somehow.

I'm hoping they add Viera, too. Maybe next expansion. I think the fact they are bringing up Ivalice is a good sign.

Red Mage has always had casting though... ?

Because SE is honestly creatively lazy. Same reason they apparently reuse creature and boss designs, classes, etc.

RDM jumps into circle aoe they just dodged 2 seconds before and dies
RDM backflips into 1 shot wall
RDM vaults off the arena out of bounds instantly killing themselves

Hmm. Animation lock too like jumps?

Ugh.

The "one of two new jobs" post by SE really upset me.

If we really are just getting two dps jobs, there are going to be a lot of depressed people. Queue times will be pretty wack for dps in general. Bleh.

I had hoped asking to keep all the separate threads away and put things in here would help with the thread bloat just a little but.. Guess not ;-;

Well this is a fan service game, so that's to be expected, I like it but to say some games aren't connected but then you have direct models rips in the game it gets confusing, Final Fantasy XV has all new designs...? I don't know. They're bringing the FFXIII ochu into the game next patch when we already have Ochu's, that's why I asked if Eorzea is connected to Cocoon or Ivalice.

It was deleted almost immediately someone probably got fired

Well to be honest I'm incline to wait and see.

I'am sorry but "multiple new jobs" is not "2 jobs" for me.

Not lazy, it actually increases efficiency and diversity.

Lazy is just recoloring existing models. Efficiency is creating a new high-res skins for 3 previously created models and one new model in order to increase the variety of monsters instead of creating 2 new models.

I would wait until we get some confirmation. It could have easily been a typo or the person handling twitter getting the details wrong. Do remember this is the Main SE twitter account so the person making the tweet probably doesn't have any inside info on FF14 and possibly might not even play the game.

That's an argument SE cant win. If they use the same designs they are lazy. If they don't people complain that it doesn't feel Final Fantasy enough. Final Fantasy is very much a brand and people expect iconic references to that brand.

Considering this isn't the only time they've stated we are getting "multiple jobs", im holding onto the hope that we are getting more than two or even 3 jobs this expansion until proven wrong.

The Clockwork Knights are created by the Allags. It has nothing to do with FFXIII's world. The same will apply to the Ochu.
Eorzea itself is possibly smaller than FFXII's overall map (if we assume Hume and Hyur's are roughly the same size), which is actually a tiny part of Ivalice itself. Ivalice is too massive to be a part of Hydaelyn.

A dreadnought is hardly iconic, they just couldn't be bothered to make new enemies is what the person you're quoting is getting at so they went the cheap and easy and just imported

Where did the pulse text come from then?

You realise that has been in a number of FF games. I first faught something like that in FF7.
