Thread: Patch 2.4 Notes - Preliminary

Well, Suiton gives the effect, Suiton. Now this is just some connecting the dots, but if you watch the Anniversary ninja gameplay video, you will see that after using Suiton (Giant Waterspout jutsu), 2 darkened skills become useable. We will get confirmation on patch day, but it seems like Suiton lets you use hidden skills in battle.

Assuming this is correct, Trick attack will most likely be used more often to enable easier burn phases.

To make the new crafting set you would need well over 15 of the new beast man tribe item but that new item cost 8 beast men coins each? Am I looking at that right?

Goad: Refreshes TP of a single party member. Duration: 30s

So~~~ ROG is the new RDM? lol...

Also that Mug ability, I guess it'll be the new go-to farmer over Holy spam.

I like the buff to Fieldcraft 3 generation by making artisan tokens able to be desynthed. Time to make a couple of stacks of Rose Gold Cogs for patch day. I shudder to think about HQ'ing the supra tokens though. Also, did they leave out the Ninja Dreadwyrm gear? It's clearly visually distinct from the mnk and the brd set, but it isn't list in the items as it should be.

People just bought ALL the mastercraft demimaterias in Sargatanas.

I'm referring to their obvious inclusion from XI, as the effects are, more or less, the same from XI but just swapped with each other.

VII didn't have positional awareness during battle (not referring to back or pincer attacks, as they really doesn't have anything to do with actually moving during battle).

Lots of their abilities are from XI, so it's only natural to assume that attacks like Gust Slash, Aeolian Edge, SATA, TA, Kiss of the Wasp (Wasp Sting), etc., would do similar results in XIV as a lot of elements have been drawn from said game, but this is like, a 180 in terms of what SATA and TA do.

Is it me or does the new tome gear look just as bad??

The crafted gear looks good but the tome....doesn't seem to have improved from the soldiery looks one bit.... and why is bard barely ever shown...its like were that child nobody wants to admit they own or something...

Where do you see it? All I saw pics of was the same old recycled PVP gear, the new Coil gear and the crafted gear.

"Head of the Dreadwyrm" so yeah... guess that settles what the final turn of coil is...
