Some interesting finds from the Ifrit Battle video

[Xmbei]

wait and find out but I am hoping for something memorable, and maybe a few special materia... yes I know they are made from equips but either those equips turn into unique materia. or he just drops unique materia with gear

It seems that Pugs auto attack animation has changed.

SE needs to slow down the leveling ALOT so people actually have to learn to play thier class instead of just cruising along letting everyone else do the work for them.

Some people just don't have the ability to grasp basics though, I played WoW for a long time and even after years there were still the same people being slow and stupid and wiping parties.

It's fights like these that will sort the good from the bad.

Darkhold already did that for us. Ifrit will only confirm

I think itd be pretty cool if yoshi is using the imperials to remove some aetherial gates to make chocobos more relevant. Makes sense to remove them but im glad he is tieing it in to the story(if thats whats going on lol)

As I and someone else mentioned in the other thread...my guess is that the increase in HP/MP is due to the removal of physical levels and re-balancing of the stats.

and materia probably

The star.. Its the jp button =P

☆ Ifrit has roughly 10,000 - 11,000 HP
☆ Quelling Strike is now a 30s constant buff for -enmity
☆ Crab Bow delay reduced or -delay Materia

They also change the "Recast" to Cast this time ^_^

Not sure if this idea was proposed, but maybe SE's way of getting rid of instant transportation (anima) is by having the Garleans destroy the aetherytes?
