FFXIV Sneak peek inside Job Weapon skills

[Firon]

I'm upset that they didnt bother giving the WHM and BLM their own unique casting animation. They look exactly like THM and CON. I thought for sure they would give them their own animation. I also wonder if we will be able to wear the hood on the WHM AF. I would like to have the option of toggling it. In the 2.0 PDF, it shows an arrow drawn next to the hood indicating it can be worn.

No the drawing was deciding weather they should have it up or down, not a toggle option.

Actually they were going to give us options to toggle the WHM hood up or down and the WAR faceplate up or down in 2.0. It was in a months-old dev post.

Freaking sweet! I want WHM so bad! But BLM looks pretty bad ass too. Also MNK! he looks like a Chinese martial arts movie!

They all looked cool and I look forward to the update but I have to nit-pick a bit on these three:

Dragoon: He misses the target completely and the bulk of the Damage Burst appears to hit the ground.

Bard: Shooting the arrow almost straight up in the air seems silly although maybe it just looks weird close to the mob like that.

Black Mage: Since his weapon is still on his back, how is that a Weapon Skill? It looks more like a (very cool) Arcane Spell.

Noob question, but will these new classes replace the current ones?

they arent new classes

These arent new classes but stuff that adds onto your current class strengthening it while hurting your ability to cross class as much.

You will be a gladiator until you quest to open paladin. Then you can equip paladin to make you more focused. Then every few levels you'll be able to quest more paladin abilities to make it stronger, rather than by leveling.

He missed because the Mob moved just before the point of impact.. thus making it seem like the Animation misses it's target. Thats just the way I see it though :P

BLM isn't getting any weapon skills, so they showed one of their spells.. derp.
