Quick reminder that this is the character whom inspired the job.

Relm's been around for 30 years.

Here's actually the full set of her animations before the death of DFFOO. RIP.

the death of DFFOO

The vfx look unfinished, so I hope they are improved.
Not gonna even factor in gameplay potential yet since it’s probably just gonna be summoner 2.0 anyway, replace the summons with a a coloured paint pot of your choosing.

This is another challenge for the players to reach a consensus which Yoshida mentioned, I guess?
Good luck.

I agree that Pictomancer could be interesting and exciting, but I think it's a shame that Pictomancer is the main job and Beastmaster is the restricted option when I was hoping the order was reversed, especially since Pictomancer appears to be a generic caster when I was hoping for something new, but time will tell.

I should mention that XIV is my first Final Fantasy game that I've played somewhat seriously, and when I think of a magical painter, I don't think of the character "Relm", but rather Grimstroke (from imaginary asia) from Dota 2 who was a power hungry man who turned into an undead "asian" demon after he did some really bad things, killed his own people, and now uses his black corrupted tainted ink to consume the souls of his enemies.

Somewhere in one of those threads about new job speculations ppl were talking about Yoshi-P wearing a ninja turtles shirt and I recall pointing out one of the new jobs might be artist because the turtles were all named after renaissance painters and ppl blew it off saying the new jobs were going to be green mage and a dps sharing scouting gear with ninja... >.>

IMO I fail to see logic in people saying Green Mage was going to be a new caster DPS when the iterations of the job I can think of had it as a pure supporter with no offensive ability outside basic melee attacks with it's weapon. It would be more likely to appear as a new Healer job.

I personally don't hate the job but the effects and sound design needs polish. Gives off a very cartoonish feel like Im playing splatoon or watching Xbox gameplay of Naruto. I have several gripes on reaper as a Reaper main. One of them being why can't it show my hair in the enshroud form. Thankfully there's ways to combat that though I wish someone at SE would consider the small quality of life things.

Hate? I'm seeing pretty much a 50/50 division... But that's only social media/discord/forums, which is not a full reflection of the playerbase. We can only gauge that after DT launches and we see the number of people playing the job.

I have some beef with the splatter effects looking a bit low quality (I don't mind the style), but other than that I love the job! Can't say I'll main it yet without playing.

I don't hate it, I just accept visually it probably won't appeal to me. That being said if SE makes it a unique and fun gameplay experience I will definitely try it (and probably turn off visuals). If not then I'll just pass.
