Enjoy!




Note:
Someone from one of my discord channels posted this and it seems legit.

Edit:
I wish you could change thread titles >_<

So I guess people who got invited on tour is allowed to speak now. Hopefully we get some YT vids today/tomorrow

If they're fakes they're not exactly poorly done fakes. A lot of the information seems to add up to what we have from this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...C2axI/preview#

At most it gives us some insight into some of the abilities Yoshi P didn't scroll over during the Live-stream. Overall not bad but I'm rather disappointed there isn't Phalanx/Blink, let alone some kind of En-Weapon spell. Still, not like we won't possible see those in future expansions I suppose, but a Phalanx/Blink seems like an integral part of the leveling tool kit.

YES! I was just thinking the same thing for RDM! RDM has always been known to have a sort of stoneskin replacement or buff to give to self or members, as well as en-spells to deal extra damage on top of the damage they do. But then, you'd see more elemental based weapons, which we really dont have in this game like XI did back in the day. So I'm curious as to why it wasn't added for the game on en spells.

Don't they have en-type skills? Their melee attacks become enhanced for more damage when you meet the requirements on your balance gauge.

That's not really how the En-Weapon spells worked in previous games. I think those just added elemental damage to your auto-attacks. As for FFXIV, I would've been up for an En-Astral/En-Umbral setup where they increase the damage of certain skills and the rate of acquired mana (En-Astral giving, say, +5% Damage to Valaero and Valstone and Valholy, and doubling the white mana they give or something). Or different mechanics. En-Astral boosting damage, En-Umbral giving spells a DoT/Debuff element at the cost of a bit of damage, etc...

Don't suppose you could post the actual links? Bit hard to read that without a microscope.

As I said, these were posted by someone I know in one of my discord channels. At the time I'm writing this they aren't online, and I currently don't have the time to go look for the actual source.

That said, you can remedy your issue somewhat by just right-clicking the image and then select 'View Image' until I get back with an actual link.

Read that somebody in GamerEscape told that those are fake.

Sadly Reddit keeps deleting stuff faster than they appear in there, so can't really link source.

The thing is though, what I've read in terms of skill descriptions matches quite a bit of what I've seen in the latest live letter. We'll just have to wait and see.

I saw that as well, the reddit thread has been deleted since though.

Well, specifically, the GamerEscape guy said they're not GE images. He didn't actually say whether the info itself is fake or not IIRC.
