What ability is this, and what class uses it?

From the looks of this video, battle requires much tact at later levels.

your trolling is going so out of the line, you know belgian ? -_-

What? I'm being serious here. My my highest rank is 15. I would honestly like to know if this is a Conj or Thal ability.

That's good to know.
Actually that isn't a usable spell (if there's in the .dats, maybe a day will be). right now nm aren't much an effort of tactic, we should wait the first proper endgame to judge

Big Guard - High Conjurer

Wait... So SE was just trolling us with that video?

Or it could be a special ability that that character knows how to use. That character being one of those tattooed heroes.

Supposedly its a Conj ability we don't have yet seeing as its the same one used in the opening movie by the lalafell Conjurer.

Don't even feed into it with a response.

all npcs get more exciting spells than us.

There's a cutscene where some Elezen summons ghost boats. I want that skill.

Belgian I'm glad to see that at least one person on these boards has a sense of humor.

I have been looking forward to awesome battles in this game. The 2009 E3 Trailer showed footage that made the game appear a certain way. Having reached level fifteen by just mashing 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1, I grew too bored to go any further. I am very saddened to learn that this spell is not actually in the game, and that there's no incentive for a mage to press any button other than 1.

yo bro you know in that e3 trailer (i think it was that, might of been 2010) it is all cgi/cutscenes and there is a total of 7 seconds of gameplay? lols they were embarrassed with their game from the start.

All people do is bitch off BelgianRofl as being a troll but out of most of the people here who try to justify a point, he makes some of the best points out of everyone. People need to be more objective and get a better sense of humour.

That's what happens when you start trolling. Any valid point/legitimate concern a person has after that is automatically overlooked and/or people lessen its value. He made his own bed.

The Lalafel in the opening movie does the same move, only thing that could explain this. would be a short term barrier (not in game atm from looks of what we have). Could very well be unimplemented ideas the game may or may not offer later on, kind of like the enhancement for the Flaming arrow (also from the opening movie).

May just be spells/abilities we can look forward to seeing, or just enhanced visuals. There are few more things that stand out then just those two effects though.

The sad thing is, that instead of refuting my points with logic, often times people resort to emotional attacks, or run of the mill defenses like:

I'm waiting for someone to tell my why this game deserves more players than it currently has. Nobody has even attempted.

Also, the less we pat SE on the back, and the more we get on their case, the more pressure there is for them to do something drastic with this game. The longer they wait and the slower they go, the lesser chance they have of reviving FFXIV. Believe me, if I didn't care whether this game went away or not, I wouldn't be here.

something to keep in mind about most rpg's and mmorpg's is that cutscenes and trailers show skills only the NPC's can use to provide a hype to the game. I know of plenty of skills that NPC's use throughout FF games I wish I could have used. But, as I said, they are NPC Specific moves.

If you have done the final story quest, you will see that those NPC's have classes that we do not yet have access to. One of them was a ninja

This^^

Actually, that Miqo'te is a Arcanist. Also, according to the data miners, arcanists use mechanics attached to their staves to manipulate or protect their surroundings. Force fields, deflection, ect. That Miqo'te is involved in the archanist's guild in the main story line quests pretty early on in the game.

Posting in a Belgianrofl thread +1.

But seriously, I remember reading about some dude's .dat mining excursion, and he found several details for arcanists, specifically their ability to set traps and fields.

Maybe that ability is an extension of arcanist stuff?

Edit - Damnit, BBBB beat me to it...

<sigh> makes me want to know even more. that little Lalafel had an interesting ability as well.

I and many others did multiple times. You just ignore anyone that proves you wrong (which means that you ignore the 95% of the forum's population). :D

Funny though, by how much "criticism" you post, I would have thought you were much higher rank. Looks like it's not even based on experience, which explains a lot.

Nice try, did you follow the manual on wikipedia? Look at the concern section down the page. Fits perfectly :D

There's no need to pressure them in doing "something drastic" because they don't need to do "something drastic", they need to build upon the foundations of the game, that are quite solid, and include that bit of diversity that's good for this market.

Sorry if I have to burst an enormous bubble, but they don't need a rank 15 guy that probably played the game no longer than a week to tell them that they need to improve the game as soon as possible. They already are, without your "help".

Is this the way you have found in order to put pressure on this company? Have you come to this conclussion by yourself?

That was a cannon from an airship. The judge didn't do that. :p

I demand a gunner class to fire cannons from airships!

The only thing SE is good for is making exciting cutscenes. Everyone who's anyone knows their games are total crap to play.

Speak for yourself. I judge points on their own merits, not on the people who make them...

Would you please refresh my memory? I don't recall such things, however, I don't have the best memory... Maybe you did tell me. A link would suffice.

The link is in your profile. Go check all the threads you opened, and notice how many people blatantly proven you wrong. There's multiple for every thread. Not that that ever stopped you from going on and on ignoring their very valid points.

I don't doubt one bit you'll do the same here.

I know BelgianRofl from my server and he'll bitch about the same things in-game and I can vouch as a witness that not one single person who argued with him could answer any of his questions. Telling someone to go read their own threads instead of giving a direct link to something (which would probably be your own opinion anyway and not fact) is a poor way of proving a point.

That would be true if those threads didn't include several answers to his "questions".

In this case the answer is simple. There's no reason why a game developer creating a cutscene should feel compelled and limited by the abilities available to the players while storyboarding and directing that cutscene. The difference between cutscenes and gameplay is radical through the whole gaming field, and that's the whole reason behind the existance of cutscenes.

Answer that has already been given multiple times in this thread, by the way. Exactly like in the previous cases of obvious concern trolling.

I read that paragraph about 10 times over and I did not understand one thing you just said. It's like you purposely threw jargon at me (that I happen to know fortunately) to try and make a point but it made absolutely no sense. But I'm not just going to be mean and give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually had something meaningful to say... in which case, could someone please translate this?

It's pretty simple why people still play. It's free, they are making changes and naturally you will not see the more drastic ones till later since more work is involved in developing them. People are looking forward to this change.

However, the most simple reason of them all is, we want to make this game better by being active and contributing our opinions on how to best shape things. That, on top of being a fan to the Final Fantasy series, keeps people around. It's really that simple.

It's simple. Just because an ability is shown in a cutscene, doesn't mean a player has to have it too. You remember the elezen who summoned a fleet of ghost ships? Yeah, Thaumaturge should be able to do that too.
