Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Expansion #2, hellsward, will then give us the final piece of the 5 part combos, Fullest Thrust and Chaotiest Thrust. Also all Dragoons must wear codpieces to maintain maximum thrustiness. Even the women. Their lances are also now 2 stories tall.

Expansion #3, FF14-2, features a dress up minigame. Classes determined by your glamour, rather than your weapon.

Expansion #4, FF14: Advent Moogles, adds Full Thrust: ZERO and Chaos Thrust: CRISIS CORE.

Expansion #5, FF14-3: Bahamut Returns. Lances now reach the moon. All battle music replaced by One Winged Angel.

I have to say though, that expanding circle from the raised lance that looks like a buff really bugs me, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!

Also... Limit Break 5: Hip Thrust.

As someone who used to translate vidya... more likely to be read Ryuubi Daisharin and Ryuuga Ryuusou.

Ryuubi - dragontail
Daisharin - literally Great Wheel. Would have multiple definitions, but in regards to a polearm technique it brings to mind the image of someone spinning it ferociously. In XI Daisharin was the Japanese name for "Wheeling Thrust".

Ryuuga - dragonfang
Ryuusou - dragonclaw/talon (don't remember which this game prefers)

The official English names may be only tangentially related. I guess we'll have to see, though.

I can see them localizing it to Wheeling Thrust.


Inb4 Fuller Thrust and Entropic Thrust

Well, that's disappointing as hell.

Mihbas/Sunny, what about? "デリリアムブレード" This isn't for Dragoon though. I've roughly translated it as Delirium Blade or something similar.

ビサルドレイン is another one. Primal Drain? Visual Drain? Savage Drain?

DRG
Blood of the Dragon - Buff that gives a new 4th attack to the Full thrust and Chaos thrust combo. Can be consumed by other actions. Also increases effects of Jump and Spineshatter Dive
??? - Strong action that consumes Blood of the Dragon
Ryuge Ryutume (Dragon Fang Dragon Claw) - Ability that comes from Full Thrust
Ryuo Daisharin (Dragon Tail Swing) - Ability that comes from Chaos Thrust
Some abilities reduce BotD timer, some increase it.

I can't imagine they can do a 4 cycle rotation without throwing out singletons from their rotation...you'd need a significant amount of skill speed to make everything fit into the buff cycles dragoons currently have.

I wonder if Phlebotomize will get phased out, 350 potency for 90 TP.

Full Thrust alone is a stronger ability, its follow up would presumably be stronger or have a nifty additional effect tacked on. Not to mention how insane Chaos Thrust is and its follow up would presumably be.

Phleb is a decent amount of damage for a singleton. Its cost is too high however, I wonder if they will give a trait like it costs 30 less TP, would make it much better.

Even though there are no known traits in the works, it isn't to say they won't tinker with old skills in certain ways. I could see them changing Phlebotomize's duration to 30s or the ilk to accommodate a level 60 rotation.
