    Take what you see in the Benchmark with a grain of salt, its not usually representative of what the actual gameplay will end up (remember the old ARR benchmark with the party fighting Ifrit open world? Or the EW benchmark with fighting Zenos in the Tower of Zot? Or a massive battle against Chi among the ruins of Garlemald?

    Remember, it's a benchmark, it's just to push the graphical engine to it's limits and that means throwing in lots of flashy effects and animations that never actually appear in the game itself. It's not a teaser of actual events/gameplay to come (they usually have other actual trailers for that sort of thing).

    The benchmark has always teased a new animation on each job. Those animations are at this point locked into the game, but what they do or how they work is something we have little information about. What I described are inferences based on context clues. For example, Summoner having a lightning aspected attack is very indicative of Ramuh now being a part of the rotation in some way. And I could be very wrong on some of them. Other people might notice things I didn't and may have much more accurate ideas of what those actions will do. Which is, I think, a fun discussion to have, hence the thread.

    Sage has failed to live up to the fantasy of a sci-fi DPS healer. Please change this for 8.0. Make Sage fast, exciting, and aggressive. It should feel like a healer that plays like a DPS. Empower the aspects of Sage's unique healing mechanics: Kardia and Eukrasia to give its healing playstyle more identity.
