Some interesting finds from the Ifrit Battle video

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

So let's continue to point out some things.

-There is a new Star Icon on the bottom right.
-The Archer is using what looks like a Crab Bow and the recast on Light Shot looks to be lowered.

It does look like the Aetherial Gates are getting destroyed by the imperials. Guess it's a good thing we get some Chocopower. It also appears Efrit will not be an easymode fight.

Cross-posting from the other thread again, haha:

Most likely development tools or something. It was also spotted in this letter, albeit without an actual icon back then.

I bet once people kill Ifrit we'll end up with them saying how easy it was.
And I haven't noticed anything else that hasn't already been pointed out. Really looking forward to this fight though :x

Nael van Darnus also appears to destroy an aetherial gate!?!

The gate disappears before he fires. By the looks of it, he's just absorbing the aetheric energy and releasing it all in one massive blast in an attempt to obliterate the player. Badass, either way. Probably not actively destroying them, just harnessing them for destructive reasons.

Edit: Also, you can notice some of the new adjusted auto-attack animations. :>

Oh wow! Yes, of course!!! I missed that one! That definitely makes sense!
Possibly, we will have to fight the empire (just like the beastmen in FFXI) to re-establish such features as the aetherytes in each region! (whoever remembers FFXIs outpost warps: a similar concept)!

Wow! They *really* are changing this game for the better, it seems!

There's a new star icon on the bottom right of their screens

Edit: Never mind lol. Someone already beat me to it

[Falcus]

It 1 shotted the Roe CON with that dash at 0:57 (thought I'd mention it)
Gonna be nice having over 3k HP

Seems the Lala MRD has a bit less HP but more MP than the Hyur GLA

[Eruantien]

Id imagine the star icon is the UI lock button they said they would add to the micro menu or chocobo call

[Sephrick]

There's a character that warps away just before the blast hits the node.

Maybe some kind of minion of Ifrit as they're surrounded by a orangish sphere.
