Paladin's attack in stormblood trailer

[Daniolaut]

I personally feel its 99.99% possible a holy for paladin.

Paladin had holy in Final Fantasy XI...

Nothing can ever be "confirmed" until its official, but just take a look.

(I would be very pleased if it does not consume all MP, and is in fact area of attack)

PLD for sure casts a spell in the trailer, and here is the animation comparison to Holy for White Mage.

0.5s before the big light explosion, you can see another part of the spell :



Maybe it's some kind of buff? Looks like a shield, I'm hyped to know more about it!

I have no clue, but we will find out soon enough.

The for sure part, it has the same exact animation (just smaller) as holy.


Edit: Possible "anti-interruption" animation? that would be ideal.

Looks like Holiest of Holy (used by the Sword and Shield Knights) from Vault and Thordian.

Its easy to miss but the Whitemage uses something right before the Paladin's cast completes.

It looks sort of like Beatrix's Shock from FF IX and she was a paladin

[Starkbeaumont]

as i already said in the other topic, i think the holy comes from the whm skill buff (kinda like radiant shield) and the pld animation is actually that sign at the end of the cast animation

[Giubba]

imho is basically the paladin version of drk unleash

If this is a spamable AOE PLD get, it looks great! But sadly flash will still be on my hot bar... If you look at the video closely, he hard cast it, so you can't run and spam it unlike Overpower and Unleash. PLD will run, flash, group up the adds and then Hard Cast the "Almost-Holy". At least you can use Shell Tron and Riot Blade to get some resource back

That's probably just the new flash animation. Whm blinds me, Imma blind them right back! Feels bad for the dps trying to find mobs tho.
