    The Job Action Trailer 2.0

    Did this with Shadowbringers, thought it'd be fun to do it again.

    White Mage
    -Dia
    -Benison 1
    -An unknown Ability (Blue swirl), but has the usual Lily Cast animation.
    -Glare 2. It sounds bangier. Hard to tell with the way they queue abilities for these, but the cast time looks like 2.0.
    -Benison 2
    -The highest burst negative DPS spell in the game.
    -Placeable, pulsable, aoe healing.
    -Glare 2.
    -Heart of Water
    -The unknown ability from before.
    -Holy 2.

    An odd showing. No regular Lilies were consumed, which makes the no-context unknown ability even more no-contexty.

    Scholar
    -Whispering Dawn
    -Recitation + Adlo.
    -Deployment.
    -Blessing
    -Chain Strat
    -Biolysis
    -Red Broil
    So basically nothing new up to this point.

    -Some OGCD skill. Looks like a barrier.
    -A party wide movement speed increase.
    -Walks up to the enemy like a champ.
    -Art of War Volume Two. Volume Tzu.

    Well, at least Summoner looks hype.

    Astrologian
    -Earthly Star
    -Divination, no seals consumed.
    -Combust
    -Ally buff
    -Malefic Upgrade
    -No context AoE skill. Looks like Lord/Lady get their own slot / draw.
    -Draw, redraw, play, Lady, No Context AoE skill.
    -Seals consumed for a self buff.
    -Mega Gravity
    -Starfall. No idea what it does.
    -A targeted shield with an additional heal effect.

    Interesting implications. You clearly aren't guaranteed seals for your self buff - Perhaps you gain more enhanced spell effects based on the seals in question - Or maybe you can't duplicate, so have fun with your RNG.

    Sage
    -Cure. Even has 1.5s cast time
    -Aetherflow. Poor Scholar.
    -Enhance Next Spell skill.
    -Instant cast Barrier GCD
    -Some sort of no context ally OGCD. 1 aetherflow
    -SQUARES
    -Gauge charges over time. Aetherflow for instant charges.
    -Spending Flow Grants Purpleflow.
    -Standard nuke gcd?
    -Enhance Next Spell
    -DoT effect? also TRIANGLES
    -Medica
    -Enhance spell
    -SHIELD medica.
    -Spend Purpleflow for X-FIRE
    -C U B E
    -I'MA FIRIN' MY LASER
    -Only losers walk up to their enemies.
    -Fine Art of War
    -Laser Dance

    The New job would obviously get more screen time. There's a spell enhancing effect here, a better Lily System for healing and dealing damage with OGCDs. Not every Lily spent gave a Purpleflow, so, it may be unrelated.

    Multiple damaging abilities but no specifics means we can only guess how they're utilized. Imagining hyperbeam is not spammable.

    The implication of the spell enhancement is that you have a very basic kit (Cure, Medica, Nuke) and you have a limited amount of enhanceable spells. Perhaps 1 charge per Noulith and they refresh over time or other conditions. All of the shown GCDs have a spell cast, except those preceded by the Spell Enhancer.

    So Nuke -> DoT enhance, Cure -> Single Shield Enhance, Medica -> Shieldica enhance.

    I'm so dissapointed with Sch that I'm gonna keep watching the entire LL until they talk about it, I didnt want to believe that the devs could do a worse version than Shb's but it seems they dont learn the lesson at all.

    Hopefully SGE is good because so far looks like Sch but better

    Was that a movement skill? It looked like they placed an ogcd shield on tank and then used a group-wide Emergency tactics (that turns applied shields into heal). Still not what I was hoping they would show. Didn't show any gauge skills. Only class in that scenario too.

    yeah it is a aoe movespeed increase buff. So sprint for free but i mean you normally have sprint for all important stuff up anyway so it doesnt feel like a good addition.

    No context ally skills, but I was guessing it was a speed bonus, given that a ground AoE targets the potato, and they make a huge showing of them moving out of it at slightly faster than one would expect.

    A potato expert can probably confirm - It just seems odd to showcase an aoe shield ability - and then move out of the damage. All of the other showcases for defensive utility show them getting hit or avoiding.

    Fluid Aura is gone. They got rid of it instead of reworking it.
