Oh, so that bow attack is Extreme only? Well, that'll be something.

[Burningskull]

ty ^^ i just went into the duties and over world and hit stuff for hours to test with confirmed animations like titan's tankbuster in the trailer and livestream info/screenshots it's why i cannot tell which siren ability we are getting because 3 skills have very similar animations.

[AtraVeritas]

I have already been putting a list of potential skills and enemies you might learn them from. I am a long time FF veteran, and am very familiar with almost all of BLU's FF incarnations.

Have a read if you want. Feel free to add anything with potential to the list.

Someone on Reddit datamined the game to figure out what the 49 spells are. They don't have exact locations, but a number of them can be surmised based on the abilities.

Upon looking again, I see OP was already aware of that. Oops.

On the patch notes...

Whalaqee Totems

Certain blue magic spells can be acquired via Whalaqee Totems.

To obtain these items, complete the blue mage quest "Blue Leading the Blue" and certain achievements, then speak to Wayward Gaheel Ja in Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (X:12.5 Y:12.9).

I would assume abilities like Mighty Guard that aren't on any (ARR) enemies, are obtained that way...




And for a few abilities on the list, enemies that do have them...

White Wind, Enkidu at the Battle in the Big Keep, he casts it on Gilgamesh on a regular basis.

Aqua Breath, pretty sure it's on Ultros in The Dragon's Neck, you need to get hit by it as a kappa.

Diamondback, the second boss in Stone Vigil (Hard), Cuca Fera. It's the ability that makes him immune to damage and reflect the cannons.

Acorn Bomb, pretty sure either generic Treant enemies, or at least Amdapor Keep (Hard)
