New UI element showing where is the next main quest, for those people who take breaks between patches and have no idea where to pick it up next.



Looks dimmed/inactive but seems to be the new BLM job specific UI element

New BLM job ability



"Sanrenma".

When you activate this ability, you can cast any spells up to 3 times with no cast times. (triple swiftcast?)

Another BLM job ability, basically teleports you to your ley lines with 3s cooldown. icon:


Not revealed yet but seems to be a new thunder

Note thunder 1 and 2 are missing from the hotbar. (but so is bliz 1 so might not mean anything) but thunder 3 is there, this new thunder might be aoe maybe?
NVM thunder 2 is there.

New unknown spell

New unknown ability (elemental virus?)

New enochian tooltip



Translation from gwlpien on Reddit.

エノキアン/Enochian

アビリティ/Ability

Cast Time: Instant

Recast Time: 30.00 s

一定時間、自身の与魔法ダメージを５％上昇される。 さらに、ブリザジャとファイジャを詠唱することができるようになる。 「アストラルファイア」または「アンブラルブリザード」の効果が切れるとエノキアンは即座に解除される。 追加効果： エノキアンを３０秒間持続されることで「ポリグロット」が付与される。 発動条件： 「アストラルファイア」または「アンブラルブリザード」効果中

For the duration of Enochian, Magic Damage dealt by you is increased by 5%. In addition, you may cast Blizzard IV and Fire IV. Enochian is lost immediately upon losing "Astral Fire" or "Umbral Ice". Additional Effect: Upon maintaining Enochian for a duration of 30 seconds, you gain Polyglot. Activation Conditions: Must be under the effect of "Astral Fire" or "Umbral Ice"

Did you see his hotbars though? That's a lot of blackmages.

Oh wow that sounds awesome! BLM might be fun again for me, yay ^^

Thunder 2 is visible, it's to the far right.

Granted I thought they were removing the Thunders to only have 1 which just got stronger, perhaps they have not yet been removed but I would wager the new "thunder" is an AOE form.

So basically we could get out 4-5 fully buffed fire IVs in the space of a couple seconds? God I hope they give tanks something to contend with our new openers because idk if quelling is gonna cut it.

You still have to wait the gcd when you use swiftcast, I believe this super swiftcast wouldn't be any different, but it means you can cast 3 spells while moving every 90s.

Okay doing another check, thunder 2 is still in the hotbar

Enochian is now dimmed, it means it cannot be activated, my guess is that you no longer need enochian to cast fire 4, only have astral fire up, and enochian only retains the damage buff, so you'd need astral fire 3 to be able to use enochian. Enochian is basically heavy thrust now, another button to hit every often.

This new skill is also dimmed meaning it cannot be activated, probably needs astral fire or umbral ice as well, note the very low MP cost, could it be a short AF/UI extender? Maybe add 3-5 seconds for a small mp cost?

I like how the job icon for rdm is the same icon for whm but flipped upside down and with a little accent mark.

Nice catch. I like the sound of triple swiftcast. Also I am digging Yoshi's top...
