Now I'm imagining the MCH slowly becoming the Storm Bringer from DFO...I am not against this.

I prefer the Destroyer and his Laser beam happy gameplay style

I always found it weird yet interesting that they had the male and female versions of the Launcher class take such drastically different paths in their final awakenings. On the Male side you have Destroyer yet the Ladies get to go Full Dakka as Storm Bringer. It's neat yet head turning. Either way, I'd be fine if MCH end up as either one.

The change was because the player base complained F. Gunner and M. Gunner gameplay style were too similar with each other beyond simple higher or lower hit boxes. It was because of this why future new character in DF were made far more different from their Male or Female counterparts. It was sadly far too late to change F Gunner's gameplay style so they decided to use the Awakening to slowly make them different from each other such as how M Launcher became more focus on their long range laser rifle and F Launcher becomes more focused on close range flamethrower.

Of course the new updates began adjusting F Gunner and M Gunner more such as how F Spitfire became focus as a Air bomber combat class using grenades and M Spitfire became more focus on ground combat for elemental bullets

Did the BLM cast Dark?

Oooh that's another good suggestion. I was sold on it being Burst (Lightning Ancient Magic) but that -could- have been Dark.

Personally I don't find it to look anything like a lightning/thunder spell. The center looks like an eye with darkness swirling into it. Dark, Gravity, Death, whatever it is it looks like darkness.

WHM seems to be doing something that affects the whole party, but it's much less obvious than the others.

The way it lands on party members sequentially made me think it might be another sort of protect, or maybe WHM shields.

All the Purple is what makes me think of Lightning. https://youtu.be/YjzsNz8lgjA?t=847

I'm going to guess that was Demi. It's one of the few FF staple spells we have yet to see.

There were static sounds when the spell was casted
