Ninja: Walk in shadow.

I still wager it won't work merely due to the fact they may program it so you cannot use SATA when detected at all, outside of Suiton, that is.

I understand where you're coming from, but somehow I doubt that they would make a signature move of a ninja so useless. Then again, this is SE we're talking about, so anything is possible.

Suiton allows the usage of SATA without hide, SATA is on a 1 minute cool down.

EDIT: Also, because I had to test the, "Even if you're detected stealth won't break." Theory... The second you are detected, stealth breaks with Disciples of Land. So if raid bosses have special sight, like I assume, it will break instantly, meaning no opening TA without Suiton.

On another note, I'm wondering if Shikuchi is a "true" teleport, or will it function like Aetherial Manipulation in that if you manipulate through a cleave, you're getting smacked.

Yeah I was thinking that, wondering if I can teleport through an enemies field of vision without being spotted.

What would be the practical application for that, aside from Hide being on cooldown or something? I'm asking because I'm thinking field of vision is only relevant when trying to avoid detection. Also, does hide function like Stealth, or is there a time limit on it? I can't remember if the patch notes mention anything about that.

You click/choose where you want to go, they showed how it functioned in the gameplay video. Its similar to how you would place Flamming Arrow,Shadow Flare, etc.

I understand how it's executed, I'm speaking in terms of how it functions in regards to game mechanics.

It's not that were questioning, its how does the game track you, are you technically moving through that space so your subject to cleaves (ala aetherial manipulation) or do you literally dissapear from your spot and reappear in another one.

This is a looks may be decieving view on things.

@Shaolin There problem isn't any practical applications, i just think I could have a good laugh with it.

[Houston009]

Ahh, i see, simple misunderstanding, my bad. We'll have to figure out how it works in-game once its finally released in 13hrs

Agreed. Either way, one thing that makes it much better than Aetherial Manipulation is that you pick a spot rather than a party member. As someone who plays on a controller, it slows me down when I have to scroll through the party list to find a player in a safe spot to port to. Usually manipulating to a healer is safe, but picking a spot will be much quicker.
