Trailer - FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER - Job Actions

Dragoon makes me sad that BotD is now a passive trait. Dragoon just got so basic.

Of all the things to miss...

Since HW, BotD has been nothing more than "Hit this button once per instance and per any further periods of lengthy downtime in order to unlock your full kit; in exchange, be disproportionately penalized by downtime during which you have no control over your character." It has no depth.

Dragoon's basic, sure, but since HW, BotD has had no effect on that.

The same goes for Enochian as a separate button. By all means, freeze, reverse, or outright drop progression to the next XenoFoul if we fall out of AF/UI, but there's zero need for a pre-combat button of no further function. If it were to be kept, it should have been made a dynamic key that'd also hold B4 and F4.

I mained SCH.

Smn, Rdm and Mnk all looked really cool for DPS. Samurai looked kinda boring in comparison, unfortunately. Nothing super flashy like the others.

But but ..you got additional 10 kenki if your third eye struck….
Also Yukikaze AoE.

Really looking forward to those changes for MNK but I am going to have to re-learn muscle memory now. I feel Monk has a flow, it might be a clunky flow, but it's there. I really want to see how the added layer affects it.

Twin Snakes and True Strike being position agnostic is a really nice touch too. Kinda worried about the pseudo-mudra style combos to unlock attacks as it feels a bit Samurai-esque in design and I cannot get on with SAM.

It differs from NIN SAM DNC at least a little bit in that you can use the same action more than once in your Blitz sequence. NIN outright breaks if you double a Mudra, and SAM and DNC get no benefit from doubling a Sen or Step.

True, I assume Leaden Fist application going into Perfect Balance management is going to be important (Unless the LF-BS gameplay is gone), as the mix-up of that rotation to make the differing combos might cause some issues keeping it up consistently while getting the right combo for Blitz. (IE I've been silly and just finished a Leaden Bootshine rotation, start my PB and don't have the Leaden buff at the start but need to do another bootshine for a combo instead of Dragon Kick) So I guess it's more plates to juggle to keep that and twin snakes going while actually getting the Balance charges.

This is a surprising post to me because mega midare was the coolest thing shown in the entire trailer. The visual and sound effects on it are perfect, and it makes the screen shake when you do it, it's so good. Only other abilities I saw that had me as hyped were pld's confiteor combo, war's berzerk ender, and nins chidori. But none of those delivered the same visceral satisfaction. Plus, the QoL fixes for sam are perfect.

The sound effects for SAM were cool as well. But yeah, I liked the SAM showcase. It was very flashy.

I thought the same. Samurai was kinda meh.
