The benchmark trailer always showcases at least 1 new action learned in the new expansion on every job. That action can be a "direct upgrade" type action that replaces an existing one, and I do list a few that seem to me like direct upgrades. Those are all just my personal assumptions though. So that animation could just be "Medica III" which replaces Medica or Medica II as Kabooa says, or perhaps it's completely new. Honestly (and disappointingly), that's a pretty believable assumption. But at the same time, the benchmark also isn't indicative of how much a job changes. They don't tend to showcase the most "exciting" animation in the benchmark anyway. So that doesn't mean White Mage will get nothing of better value than Medica III even if that turns out to be true. But since this is White Mage we're talking about, I wouldn't hold out hope that it'll get anything more interesting or exciting.

They're like 90% final give or take. Certain things like sound effects, some colors or the size might change a little, but that particular concept is going to be added.
