FFXIV Sneak peek inside Job Weapon skills

[Koku]

animations locks are peoples own mistakes. its ok to be stuck in an animation lock if you now when its safe to be in one. If your stuck in an animation at the wrong time its cause you did the WS at the wrong time.

Exactly what I was trying to get at.

Hot damn, Monk is epic to me at least. War is pretty swanky as well but the MNK one tops it IMHO.

Holly shit!! incredible monk move!!!!!! I am so happy!
The Warrior one pales in comparison although still good

[Skies]

Isnt that "dance"move what they call Capoeria? Brazilian fighting style

Not quite, that particular move is present in more than one martial art. But yes, Capoeira (which is actually a martial art that began with african slaves) uses a large amount of moves like that, often uses the handstand and in fact even has a flip kick like the inital hit (called 'Martelo' or 'Hammer' in english, although you keep a foot on the ground) and actually the second kick he does is ALSO probably a capoeira move.

Edit: Orraite- Not an actual practitioner but I am Brazilian. And personally had been on the recieving end of a move at least once. It hurts

Oh! I can't stop watchin MNK WS animation. It is soooo good. Can't wait 1.21. Thank you for this videos. WAR looks great too.

They look really col to me. I'm glad there will be more completely different moves. I'm tired of just swinging my weapon and seeing some light flashs.

funny lots of people on JP side actually complaining about the MNK's WS I like it personally, just wish they add little bit more weight or charging for the player to start the drop kick. Also for the Warrior looks nice but makes the axe too light so maybe add some more effect to make it look like there is weight of axe involved.

so why dont they like it? is it too good for them?

[Dreadnought]

I think the MNK one is a bit redundant, especially the dumb dance move he pulls off at the end.

The WAR is alright I suppose... I hope these aren't prime examples of the new animations though as I'm expecting much better!

THANK YOU!!

i thought both were kinda boring.

isnt that literally what the WAR WS is though? he swung his axe around once with just a split second light flash appearing on the mob.....

The monk one was boring?
wth? glasses? :P
