(Dengekionline) Preview for patch 3.2.

Looks like i'll be Ifrit huh. and omg the gordian gear looks AMAZING and I'm so shocked!

Are we getting prototype weapons too? O.O

I'm gonna grab my shiva blm gear and spam shiva ex while having frozen playing in the background. I'm happy lol. I am glad drg finally gets a decent looking garuda spear though because the original one is awful.

Mentioned it in the Healer forums, so I'll bring the quote up here:

It also reinforces the existing separation between the melee roles by giving them a Primal from a different City State to each other.

With that in mind, they may assign Ramuh and Mog to the remaining Gridania Jobs (WHM/BRD). Tanks will most likely get Titan as that thematically suits them more than any other role, which in turn left Shiva as the only one left for BLM.

Midas looks literally the same as Gordias. Yeah, there's a city.. landscape.. thing but you can also see what we'll be fighting on, which is just a small square. So... I guess it'll be nice looking around the arena at all the stuff we can't interact with.

Bosses are alright, hard to tell if they're really interesting until I see 'em in game.

I would recommend you to play another game then.

gear design is fair at best, I would love to design my own ^^, they need to look at a change of overall style for some sets, for variety. 4/10

the rest of the info in the English album looks cool though!! :)

I was talking about that with a friend of mine last night as well. It does seem like they're going for city states for the base classes here. I'm still somewhat surprised that Lancer got Garuda and not Archer, but I suppose Archer fits either Mog or Ramuh better than Lancer does.

The Shiva casting gear looks great on that female character but for a Duskwight Elezen male? I'm kinda scared. I mean, the cutoff between the chest piece and the arms, the crown, all of it doesn't seem like it would fit well with male characters. Or are they planning on introducing different designs of the set based on gender? Cause that would be really nice. The Garuda set makes me want to go DRG tho lol

If this is how they are basing them, I'm hoping that Mog is assigned to BRD/MCH and Ramuh to healers. I would love a kick ass set of red and purple gear for my healer, instead of the ever-generic white.

I'm a black mage. BLACK mage. First the anima weapon, and now this. I just... no.

HOW PRETTY MUST I BE????

Actully it makes total sense if you know extended FF lore. Barbariccia in FFIV was very similar to Garuda, being a green themed Wind Element woman you had to fight. She had a soft spot for Kain the Dragoon claiming she only spared Kain's life because she had "feelings for him" as a "fellow creature of the sky." , referring to his Jump attack. The logic here is pretty similar Jump is Sky, Sky is wind, Garuda is Wind, Dragoons are Garuda.
