Updated - Collecting all the posts into the original post as well!

It's currently midnight during Golden Week, and I took some screenshots while testing, so I'll just leave them here. Just note...this thread may get closed if I get scolded by Project Manager M!

Here's a screenshot of Kugane during nighttime while doing various final checks on samurai.

And here's a screenshot of the new black mage action which I took using the new group pose feature.

Please forgive the low image quality due to the forum image size restrictions.

We're working hard till the very last minute, so hang in there!

Good night Zzz...

Here's three new pics for today. Tomorrow I'll be out of the office, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to upload more. I did some checks on red mage, dragoon, and bard (and a few others, but I'll leave them for another day).

I haven't done any special touch-up on these screenshots, but think they turned out nicely!
(Oh and the bard screenshot isn't in her underwear lol)
Good night. Zzz...

Today I'll be jumping into the group to begin the final adjustments for the first Interdimensional Rift - Omega (Savage)!

I'll join the raid with the mindset of a fresh new player, ready for the many wipes to come!

Hello! I'm new, and haven't read up on this fight!

White mage's new action. I'm sure you won't be able to tell what the spell actually does from this, but just know that it's beautiful. (laugh)

Astrologian's new action. There are a lot of cards!?

Scholar's new action. You tear the page to…

And, while this isn't a healer, I noticed some people saying that the dragoon's screenshot from the other day wasn't an action shot (it was supposed to be scenic shot originally…), so here's a bloody bonus shot for dragoon!

Alright, I'm off to dive into 3rd part of Savage!

Who is Project Manager M?

Will his/her full name ever be revealed?

What kind of scolding will Yoshida get if he gets found out?

Tune in next time in...FINAL FANTASY 14: DEVS STRIKE BACK

That spell and the one we saw in the benchmark, really looks BLM gained access to a whole new skill group - naughty BLM playing in the void pools again. Looks pretty cool though :D.

Also the Leyline, it uh.. it's different? Is it a consume leyline ability? I know they float above the ground and leave a shadow but unless the Lala is that short and the camera just right, pretty sure this is just a shadow leyline (or not related to that at all, but looks similar).

Thanks for sharing! Kugane looks gorgeous by night. That BLM spell really intrigues me as well.

Is this the rumored permanochian we've been hearing about

Nice images thanks Yoshi-P and Zhexos.

Looks like a different design to me from the existing Enochian... maybe that's something to do with the updated utility of Aetherial Manipulation? Maybe some kind of marker you can place down to have Aetherial Manipulation take you there? I'll be curious to see.

Enochian portal!? Drop a leyline, drop another, boss targets you - warp to your other leyline lol. Would be huge mobility boost, for those who plan ahead (unless someone is standing on your other leyline rofl). Like a Demonic Gateway, except for BLM only and it also makes your abilities better too :P

I got excited when I saw it lol. Fun to see it crop up sometimes. I like when people use operators in conversations too :D (like !=, ==, XOR and stuff).

Totally meant to say Leylines there instead of Enochain, but yeah. I believe they mentioned once toying with the idea of improving Aetherial Manipulation by having it send you to your Leylines if you aren't targeting someone. I think I'd still just prefer Aetherial Manipulation to just shoot me forward the maximum current distance instead, but I'm not against being able to go right back to Leylines.

I want Samurai so bad ;w;
