From my memory it's usually other characters jumping in before we can make our moves.

When we do, it's out of cutscene.


But as a fellow mage, the idea of setting aside my magic enhancing staff/book/globe to sock a dude seems... counter intuitive.

This is just going to go in circles all over again.


Unless the dev team specifically has a scene calling for the player character to do something, such as using the white auracite to trap an Ascian, they are not going to try and animate every possible combination of job and race for one scene.

Which is why SE should make some unwinnable instanced battles, like the battle before Ifrit.

Or skip the middle man and just have you lose in a cutscene instead of wasting time fighting a losing battle.

I want to at least do something to enjoy the story (even if I can't win). While it is 5v2(?), watching my character be a worthless dolt who can't remember how to swing a weapon is frustrating. Especially when we can solo an Imperial Legatus :/

Buuuuut if each individual Warrior of Darkness is on par with ourselves...

Then we'll just 8 man trial it and call it a day.

They've only got one healer though. We can take 'em.

I don't see that being the case. As a group they are as strong as the Warrior of Light but not Individually due to the fact they only have one crystal each.

The problem with that is a massive plot thread through 3.0 was that we lacked the crystal's power throughout the great majority of the story. The fact is it didn't deter us at all in our actions, so why would each WoD having a single crystal nerf them when having 0 didn't for us?

Even if we're individually stronger, they are a party of overpowered warriors.

I feel like it's set up in a way that we simply couldn't win a 1v5. So, I'm really interested in seeing how our confrontation with the WoD will be handled.

Yoshi-P has already confirmed in the Gamescom interview that the WoD will play a big part in the new expansion, so I am going to guess that this is what is going to happen:

1. WoL and friends find or are ambushed by WoD.
2. WoD Warrior will bind the WoL and the friends of the WoL will fight with the WoD.
3. WoL and friends start to lose and a ally will show up that will change the tide.
4. WoD will flee.

or we do take out these 5 WoD and another group of WoD will show up in 4.0, but seeing how SE is using the iconic FFXIV character, I reckon they will stay for a while.

And they will abuse the WoLs only weakness - cutscenes.

We cannot fight in cutscenes!

Damn, if Ascians or the Empire finds out, we are finished.

In one of the more recent interviews Yoshi has said that this patch will conclude the WoD story for now (until 4.0) and that it will give some rather huge revelations regarding the nature of Hydaelyn and Zodiark. The trailer makes it plain that the WoDs are going to reveal their mission and ask us to join them as well. I'm fairly certain the WoDs aren't our enemies; they're here to open our eyes to something.

To be fair the Scions are much more powerful than your are. They just simply don't have the echo, so can't safely fight primals.
And besides:

They are all god slaying adventurers. We did see them 5 man Ravana.

Where did he say that exactly?

At least in 3.4 it'll look like the WoL will be Holmgang'd by the Warrior WoD, so that'll be better then the last time we met them where the WoL was busy having an echo flashback.
