the new benchmark trailer is friggin awesome

[Felis]

It does seem like they made Ifrit (and by extension other egis) larger: I kinda have to LOL because have a slightly larger Egi was a fan request and they said they cant due to limitations.

It was never due to limitation, but about design choice.

Thanks

Yes, all jobs will be getting new animations that better fit their design/theme. The effects will be exactly the same though as the current LBs. They will just look different.

Technically, some jobs will be assigned the pre-existing LBs.

Pure speculation, but I assume that:

-WHMs will get Pulse of Life
-PLDs will get Last Bastion
-BLMs will get Meteor
-MNKs will get Final Heaven

...and every other job will get something brand new.

Black Mage (This one looks like a Spell Speed buff? Flare is casted faster than usual and the effect remains for a while)

If you look closely you can see that he cast very fast Flare, Freeze and Thunder III, so it's some kind of triple spell.

Woah, didn't notice that! But I'll stand by what I said it being some sort of buff that plays around the cast time or spell speed just like Presence of Mind because the animation lingers after he finishes casting. Though, because the Black Mage still has a casting animation, it's can also be very likely that the buff cuts the cast time for all spells in half for x amount of time just like the Umbral Ice and Astral Fire buffs react to Fire III and Blizzard III respectively! This is getting pretty interesting. O:

Now THAT'S a Limit Break!

i wanna see bards new limit break now and machinists hope they look as awesome as dragoons new 1 :P

Saw at least 2 new dragoon skills. The first was around the halfway mark of the trailer and looked like a buff. And if i had to guess from the look of the animation I'd say its a new defensive buff not offensive. Then the other one was clearly a new attack. That limit break was great. It's going to be so hard to change rotations with new skills with almost 2 years of muscle memory in place for current rotations.

[Balipu]

Yeah awesome skills aside: I want that flying snake thingy. NOOOOOOOOOOOW! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!

[Paito]

It will be funny that Ninja will get Mijin Gakure :3
