Limit breaks.

[Zedd702]

The devs have made it abundantly clear that they will not give jobs unique limit break effects. If they did you would have a situation where specific jobs are taken just for their limit break in certain fights. They have said that 3.0 will feature unique animations for each job, however. So a SMN and a BLM will have a mechanically identical LB but the SMN one will likely summon something to do the AOE damage instead of dropping a meteor.

One exception I see is BRD though. With the introduction of machinist we should see a proper ranged physical LB introduced which bards could potentially share. I don't really see machinist getting thrown into the healing AOE LB pool and they can't use any of the others that we currently have as they aren't tanks, melee or magic based.

Actually... last I read they were not going to give each job unique LB for EACH level... They did mention something about changing level 3 LB for uniqueness... But they were starting with BRD and DRG first.

SMN= the active Egi Turns to the more original design of the primal, not as big, but i think you get the picture, and performs their ultimate or a more compliant version of it

I was just mentioning this idea to my wife, I was thinking when the Summoner/Scholar Limit Breaks, whatever Egi/Faerie they have out has an Attack Mode and Temporary "Flash/Old School Summons" Appearance of their Primal, and then the attack is based on that Primals' Notorious Attack Form. It is also possible that there are up to 3 attack forms per egi, if it isn't too much trouble, when you think about it, Normal, Hard, and Extreme Mode Titan for instance.

Also thinking if you have Ramuh, Leviathan, and Shiva as future Summons, this might work well. Many, many people while recognizing the importance of the Egi Storyline, still want Big Summons once in a while doing awesome attacks.

I thought it was visuals only. I could be wrong though.

There is visuals are getting put to unique on LB3 that are being worked on but also bards are losing the heal LB(*cries in the corner for the lovely heal lb*). And dragoons are apparently getting a fully new LB? This was kinda weirdly put.

Yes sir! I'd be more than happy with that if they don't rework the appearance of the Egi's altogether...

But ofc it kinda would be too op if a tank lb makes everyone invincible for xx amount of time.
It would be too game breaking unless there are exceptions to special/ signature attacks of bosses.
(I.e hellfire etc, any failed wipe mechanic move)
Cuz itd just be, damage boss, uh oh he is gonna do his ultimate move-> use tank lb -> burn boss.
Where r the mechanics?
Doesn't matter cuz tank lb thats what.

personal LB would be awesome. I would like abilities I don't spam.

Thinking further on the 3 phase limit break, you might have New Primal Egis, like Leviathan or Ramuh or even Odin, Diablos, and Bahamut (Wishful thinking) that don't "unlock" (by highlighting glowy style like Fire 3 does when you spam fire 1) UNLESS you are at 2 bars or even 3 bars loaded. The lower end Summons like Carbuncle, Titan, Garuda, and Ifrit could be summoned at 1-3 bars, but you might stick Levi and Ramuh at 2 bars minimum, and Shiva or Higher at 3 bars minimum.

Thinking on Personal Limit Breaks, you might be able to have your own Bar instead of/in addition to a Group Bar, but using it should Wipe out Your MP or TP, respectively to whatever Class/Limit Break You have. So it not only builds up like the regular lb bar, but it also follows the Flare Rules, But Also demands the "Max MP/TP" to activate, to keep balance.

Even if they just change the visual effect, I still think that dragoon's should have Dragoon's Pride, Kain's EX Burst from dissidia duodecim. I absolutely loved that animation...

You've never gotten stuck in a group with two bards, have you?
