1:09 mark. After mudra combo, a buff is granted. Only when this buff is on do 2 moves become available to use.

EDIT: Im not referring to the actual Stealth action, but the action the Rogue does coming OUT of stealth

[Blueyes]

In previous video we saw Ninja do a move after a Mudra combo. At the time it seemed like this move could only be done when one receives a specific buff from the Mudra combo. But this latest video shows Rogue doing it out of stealth. This may mean that the buff granted by the mudra combo allows the ninja to use the "stealth moves" while not in stealth

I believe you are referring to the stabbing attack with the blue "lightning" animation? This is actually a very good observation, however there is another video from SE that shows the same move used without any prior Ninjutsu nor while coming out of stealth. But that isn't to say there isn't more than one way to meet the trigger condition for that skill (like the stun move, perhaps). It could also be said that all of this is in development and subject to change. In any case it's still a good observation.

I love how ninja have "Ninja will receive reduced fall damage and faster running speed through traits" I hope they add some traits to other jobs too.

Yeah went back and noticed that too. Have no explanation for that, maybe its related to a back-attack? I dunno, but its fun to speculate! lol

I believe the invisible thing to be ff14 version of sneak attack. Meaning any actionew you do, or if you take damage while I visable will bring you out of it. However the attack done while invisable is a 2x strength critical hit.

Not being able to have a maxed out ninja on release is nice. Will help thin the crowd post 50 as people will have to spend tomes on an unfamiliar class. People tend to stick to what they are already good at. And i110 will be the new starting entry gear for dungeons like myth was for this last iteration.

Also, the rotation for ninja seems to be shaping up to be quite interesting depending on the cross classes available. I am hoping it\\\\'s bad and mnk. Mnk for unlocking ninja, (which makes the most sense to me as ninja\\\\'s in their stories also use characters to cast ninjutsu) and bard just for cross class references. Hopefully can CC misery \\\\' s end, venomous bite and raging strikes at the least. From mnk I hope we get access to what drg has access to.

If we do, I think ninja will become similar to mnk when it comes to long fights (meaning they do well in longer fights). The class should at least be better than bed on the dps charts seeing as it\\\\'s a mIf we do, I think ninja will become similar to mnk when it comes to long fights (meaning they do well in longer fights).

Also, I don't know how to make one really long posts. I don't post often, mainly browse the forums for information.

@Leonus, simply edit your original post to bypass the 1000 character limit. Also, I agree w/ bard being a CC class, but it remains to be seen how much tp consumption a nin will have. I did notice all the skills on the demo video having 60/50 tp cost. Im thinking it will be lnc as the other cross class though, because of TP costs.

Nearly a dozen new screens on the official Famitsu website.
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201410/06062965.html

Good bits of lore information, some of which we already knew.

"As the police of the outlaws, the rogues guild enforces the precarious peace between pirates. Those who would make light of Lominsan laws would soon see a rogue's blade at their back. Once known as band a thieves who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, the rogues guild adapted a twin-sword fighting style once used by sailors on the high seas."

"Honing the mind and body, citizens of the east once employed ninja as mercenaries and bodyguards. Harnessing arcane energies of the natural world and the aether through complex hand seals, the ninja wield power that if mastered, could turn the tide of battle in their favor."

Notes: The Japanese reading of the word rogue is actually translated literally a twin-swordsman or dual-wielding swordsman, and not strictly a word for rogue (though I don't think the language has a word for it). The US and other language translations are more accurately reflected as the guild and the class being an order of rogues.

I took some liberties on the translation to try and keep as close to the feel of English localization of FF14. Anyway, nifty screens. Also some unrelated information on a new order called the Crystal Braves. Cool beans.


EDIT: No there is no information on what stats they use or will focus on. It's purely PR.

Some recent info came out a few days ago regarding the Rogue and Ninja questlines. It's quite interesting to see how many quests the rogue and ninja pick up over their leveling career. I wonder if the reason for this is to help with leveling and perhaps outfit them with some equipment they would otherwise have trouble acquiring due to their late arrival?

Of course, it's probably no surprise now that Ninja will be learning their one of their mudras every five levels (with the first mudra and its activation initially), but I'm curious as to what the final two abilities will be. I'm guessing that one of them might be the ability that resets their cooldown, while the last may just be a straight damaging ability. On the other hand, it simply be a utility spell, like the teleport skill seen in earlier videos.
