i dont think its a rdm, prob just a new armor set. RDMs usually use fencer swords

[Firon]

looks like holy shield to me.

Lack of optimization and likely compression issues.

And that you can't use the HDMI output to capture PS3 videos because it's copy protected.

Exploration (Benchmark) Video:
-Seeing the chocobo party herd continuing to get bigger got me really excited for alliance/large scale party content. The large scale battles in this video are exactly what I wanted from the last battle in version 1.
-I also wish our cutscenes in ARR had more fight scenes like the ones here with our characters doing actual battle. The Ifrit fight for one thing was amazing to watch.
-Giant Adamantoise at ~3:00 is awesome. I really hope monsters of this scale are actually implemented in game. In fact, it would be amazing if Primals get super charged with aether and get that big (or bigger!)

A Tour of Eorzea Part 1:
-Thanalan and La Noscea are looking amazinggg! I'm finding myself very happy with how the previously released Limsa BG is fitting.
-As for the Thanalan bg, is the Goobbue music now officially the Thanalan bg??? I love the song but it was always a La Noscea song in my head. I believe when it was first released the composer said he wrote it thinking of "running on green hills with the wind" or something like that.
-ARR seems to really feature a lot of variation in the zones. Each camp or "station" also seems very big, lively and unique from each other.
-The male Miqo'te's sprint animation looks awesome! (2:21) It really had a predatory cat-like feel.
-Weather/Time effects are also looking great, it's a big improvement from alpha which was too bright imo. I particularly liked the sunset scene at 4:39.
-Baby Chocobo pets are absolutely adorable.

Hmmmm man there's just too many new things in these videos, my list could get very long so I'll end it here!

[Coombah]

Wow these vids are amazing so much to see!

[Qually]

This is awesome, can't wait for the open beta to start.
Thanalan and La Noscea looking amazing and the bgms too.
It was also fun to see the full Benchmark movie without that mog loading the video all the time and it looks great
Thumbs up for Yoshi P !

i dont know if this has been gone over already but does anyone notice when the bard is playing his hard that he still has the bow equipped then next to him is an archer with just the bow. Meaning there will actually be a need to bring the job and the class into battle????

or he just takes out his harp to use BRD buffs.

Yoshi already mentioned that the harp animation is purely for animation, and it will have no effect on equipment etc.
