Ninja: Walk in shadow.

You click/choose where you want to go, they showed how it functioned in the gameplay video. Its similar to how you would place Flamming Arrow,Shadow Flare, etc.

It's not that were questioning, its how does the game track you, are you technically moving through that space so your subject to cleaves (ala aetherial manipulation) or do you literally dissapear from your spot and reappear in another one.

This is a looks may be decieving view on things.

@Shaolin There problem isn't any practical applications, i just think I could have a good laugh with it.

Agreed. Either way, one thing that makes it much better than Aetherial Manipulation is that you pick a spot rather than a party member. As someone who plays on a controller, it slows me down when I have to scroll through the party list to find a player in a safe spot to port to. Usually manipulating to a healer is safe, but picking a spot will be much quicker.

Yeah I generally just had it macro'd to party member 2, and then sorted it so healers were always second. It's use was somewhat limited because of this though.

I absolutely refused to have a specific party member number hard-coded into my macro, just in case that particular member derped into an AoE lol.

Ahh, i see, simple misunderstanding, my bad. We'll have to figure out how it works in-game once its finally released in 13hrs

I'm pretty sure the the teleport skill works were basically you place a targeter to a spot, and then click to 'port there.

We're speaking in terms of "how does the game view your teleport", as opposed to "how do you execute the teleport."

I was talking about the "one quick button press" part. As in I don't believe it will be quite so streamlined.

Oh. Jakz was talking about his aetherial manipulation macro. Shikuji is definitely a 2-step, ground targeting move.

I wonder if that skill counts as movement or teleportation. For example, Dragoons when they jump, they are technically just walking very fast to their target, so it is registered as movement. I.e Dragoons cannot jump over twisters, they will still explode.
