Prep. Update Data Mine (Nov 30 2010)

[Clubber]

ninjutsu looks like some sort of defence enhancing spell. phalanx maybe?

[Sagacious Sundi]

Looks like double-elementals. Distortion, Fragmentation, Fusion, and Gravitation Elementals, respectively?

[darkepyon]

WOW! Shinryu looks awesome!

(Gotta be Shinryu)

I believe it says "shin_" or something in the file names for its textures. To be honest though, this thing more resembles the Czar/Kaiser dragon from FF6. Virtually every other shinryu in the past has had a decidedly lighter color scheme. However SE does seem to be "bucking the trend" with a lot of things as of late.

"I am the dealer of destruction... I am the font from which fear springs... I am Kaiser... And your time is at end."

Also, holy shit@that new body armor! (the off-white/gold one with the spikes)

[Ophannus]

Don't worry you'll see about 15 reskins of Shinryu eventually, just like we've seen like 30 reskins of the 3 kings and the toau kings in almost every endgame event (Nyzul/Salvage/Limbus/Abyssa/Besieged/Campaign etc)

[Yekyaa]

Boost-CHR, Boost-AGI
Gain-CHR, Gain-AGI
Wind Carol II, Fire Carol II
Banish IV (It's not part of the animation list, but it'll be in the update)

[Alkar]

New elementals? If it's true they better be good compared to the others. Then again why add new ones instead of simply updating the old ones? It's not like we're using them outside of Siphon.
Unless they are new mobs or something that pops out while you fight Lilith.
That's Shinryu for sure. I'll be extremely disappointed if he's not. Also SE please stop adding avatars we can't summon in this game... it's a stupid tease.
Also Curing Waltz V lol. Regain for SCH? That spell seems the same the SCH was casting in the update announcement pics and she was using it on a DNC.

[Taint]

Sweet ass scythe and armor! Hope SE has the balls to put stats on them to back them up.

Do you think the moogle is for storage or another Magian??

[Nightfyre]

If that's a new Waltz it better not have a shittastic timer like IV...

[ronin sparthos]

Shit should be broken up already. Waltzes that is.

[Byrthnoth]

Shit should be broken up already. Waltzes that is.

Should always have been split odd/even.

[scaevola]

My best guess on the JAs/spells:

Fireja/Windja
NIN Haste? (NOT Utsusemi: San -.-)
Not sure about the clearly elemental buffs, maybe better bar spells as was suggested?
Boost-DEX/INT
Gain-DEX/INT
This next one doesn't look like anything I've seen
DNC Waltz
Looks like Regen/Refresh, so possibly Regain II/I?
Another one I'm not sure about, possibly a new samba?
-BLU spells mentioned-
I swear I've seen those swirling dots before, but I can't place it...
No clue on this one either
DNC Flourish
Two new Stratagems
A new "attack" for THF?

Third Eye.

[Alkar]

Well it's a Waltz for sure. I'm guessing Curing Waltz V because WHM got Cure VI a couple updates ago. I agree that we need a Waltz II though... recast on IV is stupid and V will be even worse for sure. We already are limited because TP caps at 300.

[Jeryhn]

Shield is probably part of the Creed series of Empyrean armor. Scythe and dagger looks like something Lilith would use. The chick in the wedding dress is definitely Portia. Those elementals kinda look like tier 3 versions that match up with level 2 skillchains. The white one with the fire shape representing Fusion, the teardrop covered in ice representing Distortion, etc.

The moogle, now that's a surprise. I would have suspected them to use Nomads or regular Moogles for the Porters. Something tells me there's gonna be a special Magian announcement before the update.

[Zubuis]

Is anyone else doing dat mine besides OP like Xanthe, etc who did it in the past. OP's gets blocked at work

We're owed two more Magian Moogles so I wouldn't be surprised if we get the next one this patch.

[Sho]

There are two new COR rolls and JA in there as well.

261/40 = COR Roll
262/28 = COR Roll
262/97 = COR JA

Also it seems that SE wishes to release a MNK JA that augments Critical Hits in some way-- 262/50 is called "mnk_crit"

THF JA that looks like an "Erase".

The SCH Magic spell (261/29) is labeled "regain" (I shit you not).

Enjoy~

Pretty sure that's it for now. No AF3 bodies/hands till the real thing.

[Alkar]

Please be a COR version of Pianissimo... that would be amazing.
Yay to Regain for SCH :D RDM v.2 lol.

Edit: And yeah, that's a new Magian Moogle for sure.

Mog sack moogle looks like a normal one.

[ronin sparthos]
