General Pictomancer discussion

I’ve heard of it being comparable to ShB SMN, with the motifs being like Egi assaults, something you don’t want to overcap. There being something you need to build for burst like Ruin IV with the Canvases. The overall rotation is very free form to, RGBW paints being good for movement and MYCB paints being your hard hitting spells you need to do something special to use. All in all, if it’s gonna be as fun to play as it looks like its gonna be great, and if there’s gonna be more of this type of job building for the other jobs in 8.0 then I’d be genuinely excited. The game needs more for the jobs

Lol maybe in 8.0 they'll gain dots and just become a SMN substitute. I do really hope that the rotation is relatively open for freedom of expression because I could see if it's stilted it could kill the class on arrival.
One thing that I'm really happy about is the dash which not many people have mentioned, while I think BLM and RDM movement tools are good for their play styles (SMN being the only mess up here) having a non targeted dash on a magical ranged is really cool.

One other thing I am worried about from what we have seen so far that during that big buff window (Falling star I think?) there seems to be a very tight window for the spells you have to use. I don't mind it having a busy burst but if the filler casts balancing muse gameplay is as open as it seems that could make the burst an annoying forced break from the play style.

I'm extremely excited for the job not only in PVE, but PVP as well.

Ah good point bringing up PvP, it will be real interesting to see if the forced downtime is implemented into the PvP toolkit too.

Everything about it seems really cool (well, minus aoe potencies apparently). Love the goofy aesthetic, I think the effects look great, and the kit seems like it's going to be fairly interesting and not really play like the other casters. Definitely more impressed with it than viper.

PCT is the job I’m most excited to play in Dawntrail… I loved FF6 and Relm, and I love what I’ve seen from all the media tour videos so far. The effects definitely seem more polished than what we saw initially; there’s a lot more sparkle to them. Plus it has a full elemental spell kit, and Star Prism! I think it’s going to feel really fresh and unique from the other casters, and I can’t wait to see how it feels to play.
