Mr.Happy Interview with Yoshi P

[WhiteArchmage]

Bahamut and Phoenix are tied together because both of their aether is around because of the calamity. Without phoenix we would have had to wait more years for the next astral period

I know Phoenix is a thing and we fought him in T12, but the ability to summon Demi-Phoenix isn't explained from lvl 72 when we get Demi-Phoenix. There's no SMN job quest until lvl 80 and THAT focuses on Arenvald and Fordola. The HW SMN quests went out of their way to provide justification for summoning Bahamut with the whole "the Calamity's aether reached far beyond Eorzea", and for a 1.0 player who didn't finish coil (yeah, I know, that'd be rare) then you were never exposed to Phoenix's aether because Louisioux sent you to the future BEFORE turning into it, and you are returned 5 years in the future. We can headcanon the ability to suddenly go from Summoning Demi-Bahamut to summoning Demi-Phoenix, but the story doesn't even blink at HOW you figured it out.

Job skills tended to have a lot of Lore tied to them, and now they don't, or they outright contradict them like AST cards. Which speaking of AST, THEIR job quests will have to be rewritten to explain whatever the change to Nocturnal Stance is, since their lvl 50 quest has a nod that it's the shielding stance. (Or not, they didn't bother to rewrite the nod that Ewer is supposed to give you magic)
