    Can you speak japanese? You know translations aren't just straight translations. You know why she had to fumble with some of the ability names? Because what we see as Spread is Keep. The english-Japanese name of abilities aren't direct translations so when the time comes to say japanese word for peanut, but in reality when it's japanese word for peanut we say nugget instead. So she has to take that into account she can't say "well the ability to peanut is a very important one." Instead she has to check her notes to make sure the same word is used and if not she has to be certain to say nugget and not peanut. It's not as easy as it sounds.

    I'm just glad they had a translator, even if she did fumble with quite a few of the in game terminology, it was way better than trying to just watch the live letter in Japanese and trying to figure out what is going on based on pictures and in game video.

    she said that sharp cast for blm, would apply proc as an effect, and that would be helpful.......proc isn't an effect.....she was bad cause she doesn't know game terminology.
    it ensures crit, if i heard correctly from Yoshi talking.

    You heard and saw completely wrong, then. It forces the next ability you use to proc its additional effect. So Fire will give Firestarter, for example.

    As for me I'm really looking forward to AST, a WHM/SCH hybrid is all I ever dreamed.

    No, she was correct. It has nothing to do with Crit. It applies the proc effect. Her wording was weird, but if you actually watched the demonstration it was clear what she said did match what happened in game.

    New ability: Sharpcast
    After using this ability, the next spell you cast will grant you a guaranteed proc. You’ll want to use this when you want to get a proc with Thunder or Fire. The timing of this ability will also be important.

    Yes, I speak Japanese. I am a BA in Japanese, thanks. I was listening to Yoshi P more than the translator, actually. I got most of what was said about SCH I believe, between the two of them. I am still not impressed, that's all :/
