Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[pandabearcat]

Expansion #2, hellsward, will then give us the final piece of the 5 part combos, Fullest Thrust and Chaotiest Thrust. Also all Dragoons must wear codpieces to maintain maximum thrustiness. Even the women. Their lances are also now 2 stories tall.

Expansion #3, FF14-2, features a dress up minigame. Classes determined by your glamour, rather than your weapon.

Expansion #4, FF14: Advent Moogles, adds Full Thrust: ZERO and Chaos Thrust: CRISIS CORE.

Expansion #5, FF14-3: Bahamut Returns. Lances now reach the moon. All battle music replaced by One Winged Angel.

I have to say though, that expanding circle from the raised lance that looks like a buff really bugs me, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!

Also... Limit Break 5: Hip Thrust.

竜尾大車輪 "Ryū bidai sharin" – Roughly translated as “Ryuo Giant Swing” or “Dragon Tail Swing”

竜牙竜爪 "Ryū kiba ryū tsume" – Roughly translated as “Ryukibaryutsume” or “Dragon Claw Dragon Fang”

As someone who used to translate vidya... more likely to be read Ryuubi Daisharin and Ryuuga Ryuusou.

Ryuubi - dragontail
Daisharin - literally Great Wheel. Would have multiple definitions, but in regards to a polearm technique it brings to mind the image of someone spinning it ferociously. In XI Daisharin was the Japanese name for "Wheeling Thrust".

Ryuuga - dragonfang
Ryuusou - dragonclaw/talon (don't remember which this game prefers)

The official English names may be only tangentially related. I guess we'll have to see, though.

I can see them localizing it to Wheeling Thrust.


Inb4 Fuller Thrust and Entropic Thrust

[Dervy]

As a fluent Japanese speaker, I can assure you that those actually mean "Fuller Thrust" and "Chaoticer Thrust" respectively.

Well, that's disappointing as hell.

Mihbas/Sunny, what about? "デリリアムブレード" This isn't for Dragoon though. I've roughly translated it as Delirium Blade or something similar.

ビサルドレイン is another one. Primal Drain? Visual Drain? Savage Drain?

[Aeromat]

DRG
Blood of the Dragon - Buff that gives a new 4th attack to the Full thrust and Chaos thrust combo. Can be consumed by other actions. Also increases effects of Jump and Spineshatter Dive
??? - Strong action that consumes Blood of the Dragon
Ryuge Ryutume (Dragon Fang Dragon Claw) - Ability that comes from Full Thrust
Ryuo Daisharin (Dragon Tail Swing) - Ability that comes from Chaos Thrust
Some abilities reduce BotD timer, some increase it.

I can't imagine they can do a 4 cycle rotation without throwing out singletons from their rotation...you'd need a significant amount of skill speed to make everything fit into the buff cycles dragoons currently have.

[Tilgung]

I wonder if Phlebotomize will get phased out, 350 potency for 90 TP.

Full Thrust alone is a stronger ability, its follow up would presumably be stronger or have a nifty additional effect tacked on. Not to mention how insane Chaos Thrust is and its follow up would presumably be.

[pandabearcat]

Phleb is a decent amount of damage for a singleton. Its cost is too high however, I wonder if they will give a trait like it costs 30 less TP, would make it much better.

[Sleigh]

Even though there are no known traits in the works, it isn't to say they won't tinker with old skills in certain ways. I could see them changing Phlebotomize's duration to 30s or the ilk to accommodate a level 60 rotation.
