The 4th Mudra

Anyone notice how in the fight in the last quest of the Ninja Job series, the opponent uses a "lost 4th Mudra"... That a possible hint about the next Ninja Job skill?

If so, we're already struggling to squeeze 3 Mudras + Ninjutsu into a 2s gcd, how are we ever going to manage 4 + Ninjutsu?

As well as 1 new 2 step combo, 1 new 3 step combo, and 4 new 4 step combos.

They might just keep it at a maximum of 3. Or, they might change the system to make it easier to execute ninjutsu quickly.

Is he linking a 4th mudra or linking 4 mudras ? I remember that it seems that he used the 3 mudras but once was used twice, and he didn't get the rabbit !

I'm pretty sure it was a different Mudra, but I also believe it's going to be one of those things that a player will never get and just be exclusive to the NIN storyline, but who knows, with the Level cap increasing to 60 in Heavensward we may well see an extra Mudra, would be an incredible pain in the ass to memorize 14-15 different Mudra combos though so I can't see it happening :P

Wouldn't necessarily be the case as with the 3 we have right now, several combinations add up to the same effect.

Could be, but say they eliminate the 3 combo max, then your looking at 4 Mudra Combos (assuming they make our current 3 do something new if ended upon in a 4 combo)

I wish his special attack was a huge version of the rabbit attacking us.

GOD YES! That'd be one hell of a twist to the end of the NIN storyline lol the sky darkens and a huge rabbit comes crashing down from the heavens!

Would love to see NIN become the Invoker of XIV, 21 different ninjutsus? Bring it on!

Hmm I'm not overly familiar with the whole Eastern philosophy but isn't Ten-Chi-Jin a some sort of holy triad in what, Taoism or something?

So if there were to be new mudra I motion it to be a separate one Yin and Yang to have Yin Mudra and Yang Mudra giving enhanced/changed effect.

Oh...my god. Can you imagine Yin and Yang being the AoE/ST toggle from 1.0's THM? AoE Huton anyone?

It's just something made up for the game. The real Mudras have more than just 3 hand seals and they don't relate to Heaven / Earth / Human or those 12 animals like in Naruto. Each sign is a word and when performed in a sequence will create a sentence - like a hand-sign language, really.

With a trait.

Why stop at 4 mudras?

The real practice of Ninjutsu and use of kuji-in is for meditation purposes. It is based on Esoteric Buddhist beliefs (Mikkyō).

Their meaning in relation to Ninjutsu.

Rin - Strength
Pyōh - Channel
Tōh - Harmony
Sha - Healing
Kai - Sense of Danger
Jin - Reading of thoughts
Retsu - Control of space and time
Zai - Control of sky and elements
Zen - Enlightenment

Mudras are popular and very easy to adapt with meditation and rituals. Which is why there are many different kuji-in / mudra across different beliefs and philosophies and have different meanings.

Video games, movies, and modern mythology obviously associate them having magical powers.

I don't watch Naruto, however since you mentioned animals, it is likely based off Taoist beliefs.

I can't think if the ability off the top of my head but the player is healed by ninjutsu many times during their Job Battles. its shayatoki or something like that. (really didnt pay attention to the spell name flying pass me as I was trying not to die, lol)

It's not a jutsu it's SuiYaku ( Sui 水 = water, Yaku 薬 = Medicine ) so a potion ( yes a convenient way to make something look cool, write it in japanese ! xD )
