All those abilities... Right now my eyes have bling-bling effect after seeing this. Some of their style almost like they transform into Sailor Moon lol :D

I love that the new healing skills for the WHM costs literally no MP. I'm soo ready. >:D

Those three skills have more MP cost than Blizzard IV and Fire IV. I'm curious as to what they do now. o_0

Edit:

Looks like they might be pew pew skills, judging on their design. I could be wrong though. Take what I said with a grain of salt.

Those green bottom skill looks like AoE heals because the skill icon looks like SCH's succor

mch turrets look nice lol

The BLM pic reminds me of one of those 80s/90s anime character intro or costume change scenes lol. . . Maybe I'm not getting enough sleep, I dunno. <_<

Actually those numbers aren't that strange. If you take a look at the Black Mage gameplay preview we get to see what their MP costs are like when idle at level 60. They are slightly more than triple the cost compared to level 50. The most expensive one for Astrologian is probably Ascend.

Also I have a sneaky suspicion that the actions on these hotbars are displayed in the order they are learned.

OMG what's with people panicking over the AST MP costs? :/
It's pretty easy to understand- MP costs scale with level. I assure you Raise didn't cost 700+ when we first picked it up, as it does now.
We've already seen a BLM at 60 with like 11k MP- it is not far-fetched to imagine healers could have MP pools of 13k-ish at 60.

As such- raise abilities will likely be over 2k MP in cost, as seen here- and AOE healing spells would be over 1k (as seen). SCH and WHM will have the same costs for Raise, Resurrection, Medica, Succor, etc.

Calm yourselves!

Those expensive skills are likely the raise and the aoe heal and wheel of fate.
The spells seem to be based around base mp percentage and if our base mp pool is more than doubling those numbers make sense for that type of spell

Insane mana costs aside these new abilities are pretty sexy.

I know, right? They all looks sexy. *-*

Its easy to miss but the Paladin's heal and one of the Dark Knight's abilities had a 4 digit MP cost. The Astrologian having several abilities with 4 digit costs in not surprising.

- Vegeta, what does the tooltip say about its mana cost?
- It's over ninethousaaaaaaand

Such flashiness xD
AST one is really pretty and Aero 3 looks really powerful but I wish we had the other naming conventions for spells...such as Aeroga >.<

Oh wooooow, look at the white mage! First holy and now this! Oh devs, you spoil us WHMs so. :o ♥

Ten new levels means natural raises in said stats in addition to gear from Alexander (Savage) being the highest ilvl cap (guessing i200).

Current Raise is about 22% of base mp (798mp out of my 3630mp BASE).
It seems the blue-ish is also a Raise sooo
2652mp, being a 22% equals to about 12054 mp so it works nicely with the 11k BLM mp.

Medica being about 10,25% of base mp.
I cant see what the lower mp cost would be but the upper greenish seems to be 1329mp
going with the same formula, it ends up being approx 12965 mp so with a bit of variance between the 2 jobs, it seems to fit the mold.

That silhouette.. It makes me want to play DDR or something.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the AST spell highlighted in the screenshot appears to be Lightspeed.

Fire 1 costs more than Fire 4.

I'm pretty certain those are, going from most to least expensive, the AST equivalents of Raise, Medica II and Medica.

We'll never enjoy bard animations because they always clip into each other and end abruptively with how much oGCD abilities we have.
