The BLM pic reminds me of one of those 80s/90s anime character intro or costume change scenes lol. . . Maybe I'm not getting enough sleep, I dunno. <_<

What the heck!

Actually those numbers aren't that strange. If you take a look at the Black Mage gameplay preview we get to see what their MP costs are like when idle at level 60. They are slightly more than triple the cost compared to level 50. The most expensive one for Astrologian is probably Ascend.

Also I have a sneaky suspicion that the actions on these hotbars are displayed in the order they are learned.

OMG what's with people panicking over the AST MP costs? :/
It's pretty easy to understand- MP costs scale with level. I assure you Raise didn't cost 700+ when we first picked it up, as it does now.
We've already seen a BLM at 60 with like 11k MP- it is not far-fetched to imagine healers could have MP pools of 13k-ish at 60.

As such- raise abilities will likely be over 2k MP in cost, as seen here- and AOE healing spells would be over 1k (as seen). SCH and WHM will have the same costs for Raise, Resurrection, Medica, Succor, etc.

Calm yourselves!

Exactly.

Calm yourselves!

*woosh*

Also, I don't think anyone is panicking. It's more to a, "Woah, a four digit number! I wonder what it does to justify that cost?"

[Nihility]

Those expensive skills are likely the raise and the aoe heal and wheel of fate.
The spells seem to be based around base mp percentage and if our base mp pool is more than doubling those numbers make sense for that type of spell

Insane mana costs aside these new abilities are pretty sexy.

I know, right? They all looks sexy. *-*

Its easy to miss but the Paladin's heal and one of the Dark Knight's abilities had a 4 digit MP cost. The Astrologian having several abilities with 4 digit costs in not surprising.
