GNB's new Bloodfest combo looks silly

[Teno]

I think lionheart looks great and not over the top, and fortunately it's nowhere near the ridiculousness of machinist's 1-2-3 pirouette circus show.

I am ready to reign.

GNB will always look silly just from their idle pose alone.

I am referring to this one linked in the job preview: https://youtu.be/zx2vW0TAJKQ?si=5dbitPTwDaBJpDMh&t=1253
It\\'s showcased at 20:53 if the link doesn\\'t bring you to that timestamp

It\\'s available after executing bloodfest, and my god it looks ridiculous. Your character is flying around the mob swinging the weapon, how is the char managing this? I see no magic at work, no wings, no explosive force propelling the char into the air like is ALREADY DONE with double down, the character might as well be no clipping in front of the mob.

It\\'s completely jarring and not at all thematic, you have a job that has the perfect excuse to propel themselves airborne using the explosive force from their weapon, you already do that with the lvl 90 skill, yet you don\\'t take advantage of it? C\\'mon SE.

I\\'m not looking forward to using the new combo, I\\'d go so far as to say I\\'m dreading it cause it just looks so silly, I\\'m confident GNB will survive DT unscathed but SE, please oh please consider reworking the animations.

And yes, I\\'m aware firing off explosives a meter in front of you isn\\'t at all realistic, but one, this is a unrealistic video game, and two, we know the WoL can survive far worse, so it\\'d be fitting and thematic for the explosive force to propel them upward.

its so funny seing 14 players that dont play final fantasy lol

I really like the "resting gunblade on shoulder" pose. Or do you mean the /cpose?

Having played older FF games doesn't mean you automatically gush over every crumb of nostalgia they serve you.

Well to be fair like 80% of this game is self-references to older final fantasy titles. Hard to gush over it when it happens so often.
(Except the fact Viper was apparently inspired by SAO and not Zidane, even the dev team forgot about ff9... )

It's one of Squall's limit breaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax6sSN-3p9I

I think I see the problem
Renzokuken Squall at least lifts/flings the enemy into the air; if they added anything close to that for GNB then these complaints would die down I feel.

I mean this is out of topic but...

• Alexander is the IX's version.
• Cruise Chaser is Ark from IX.
• Ozma is a boss from IX.
• Hades is a boss from IX.
• Solution Nine is a reference to IX.
• The Prima Vista is another reference to IX.
• It's also possible that the two joker girls from Shadowbringer are a reference to Zorn and Thorn.

But you're right I hoped Viper would have more IX into its kit the same way GNB has a lot from FF VIII.

I know I was just exaggerating because people often forget about ff9 lol. I guess FF12 is forgotten too except the whole Viera thing.
