Then again....fits with the flow of ARR. Since in all actuality it was still a remnant of 1.x where even the base AF enhanced some of your abilities (thus making them more useful than in ARR.) They probably hid it due to potential backlash or "SPOILERS" or w/e else excuse yoshi loves to use to not give us info, but at the same time, if it's a dev build, that means they could have even had placeholders rather than nothing at all. But alas, since the whole Doctor Mog thing, they've been really pissy about certain things on their clients so in the off chance that client got leaked they didn't want something out in the wild about abilities/traits I suppose.

I remember reading somewhere that 3.0 does not stick with the old "ability every x levels" paradigm, though it may have been referring to not getting a job ability every 5 levels.

do you have an Assize?

It would make more sense for BLM to learn Enochain as their third ability but they already said 60 for that.

Ninja are incredible, man...

Interceptor's dragging him from behind, that's why you don't see him there.

I fuckin' love it. Never forget the classics!

I like hitting that train with the assassin blade and dispatching it in one hit too

Btw, has anything been said about updating hunts at all? I hope they don't just leave them as is...

Yes, pretty much the only classic content that isn't being included in 3.0 (that we know of) are guildhests.

Anyone remember Skirmish lol

Bad phrasing and I'm on a phone but I mean that we know FATEs, hunts, and treasure maps are returning and I'm pretty sure the Hunting Log is as well. Don't know about guildhests.

RIP Skirmish, Locke's Lie, and Turtleback Island

Nothing like when you were a bit slow on killing some of the bosses and you spin the camera to see chimera running down the beach like an eager puppy to hump your leg.

Musta cut one of the wheel locks or something. Derailed it in one swing.

That almost... requires its own thread maybe
