I really like his visuals, pretty happy they kept him the way I remember him from FFX. Understand if they don't but it would be cool to get a /heavily/ Yojimbo inspired gear set for Samurai (those sweet colors :D). I imagine people will be asking the sidekick as a mount at some point too lol.

Edit: use the links ending with .jpg (or other forum supported image formats) for image linking :) (like this one https://i.imgur.com/ikNWBsk.jpg)

No new graphical options in the menus but I noticed they tinkered the lighting. Seems more vibrant and more contrast.
The benchmark also is quite heavy in comparison with the HW one.
More NPCs and more things going on in the scenes so it's more CPU heavy this time.
Overall the game became heavier. People who were struggling to run HW with old PCs will have more issues now.

It's a good thing primals don't carry around gil. Enough money and Yojimbo will wipe the entire party.

When I go to download it I'm only getting the heavensward benchmark. Am I missing it somewhere or is it not out for everyone yet. I'm in NA and yes I have clicked on the link for the stormblood benchmark but it only give me the heavensward one to download.

OMG! Summoning Jutsu confirmed for Ninja!! :D

Summoner AF3 it looks like. I'm going to reserve my judgment for when I see it in-game, but first impression is kind of disappointing.

Is this the next tier of Ruin? Looks almost identical to Ruin III except now the book leaves our hands and floats.

Hmm. Maybe they changed the effect of casting Ruin III while in Dreadwyrm Trance to reflect that it's more powerful or something.

I hope to hell that's actually what we get, like I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to see that, I'm freaking excited for that...lol

MCH looks like it'll have Flamethrower aoe move. Seems like fun

SMN looks like it has a mini mega-flare move. Or another Ruin? The Glyph that briefly shows looks like butterfly wings ... or lahabrea's mask

NIN summons a frog to do a Fire attack

AST has 2 new cards

BLM got a large purple flare-like move. Will this be a new Thunder spell?

SCH's Faerie will tether (cover?) a selected party member

WHM has a aoe move that affects self and all party members. Not sure if a buff or another healing spell

The AST cards say "Lord" and "Lady" in Eorzean script, respectively.

could they be emperor and empress of the arcana?
as for the fairy tether. the WHM in halatali HM has a tether regen maybe that's the same thing for the fairy since the tether feels like it is channelling a heal to the DRK
