What I hope for ninja: Haste Samba equivalent.

What it will be: Deodorize.

What I hope for ninja: Haste Samba equivalent.

What it will be: Ranged accuracy no jutsu.

For those Shurikens that NINs should be using.

[TummieGaruda]

...triple attack roll anyone?

It's just a regular JA, and no cards are associated with it in the animations. So it could be Triple Attack on next attack, Triple damage on next attack/ranged attack or 3 shot barrage type JA.

The Cor rolls are found at:

261/40.DAT
262/28.DAT

Or it could be a JA to triple the duration of your next roll.

[Calessa]

Or possibly an ability that allows a third roll on yourself?

[TummieGaruda]

Or it could be a JA to triple the duration of your next roll.

This makes sense because SE removed the XI double duration in the Sept patch. Being able to keep a roll up for 15 minutes (20 min with full winning streak merits) does sound nice. If I remember correctly, when you have 2 rolls up, when you do another phantom roll, it will overwrite the roll that has the shorter duration, so this will allow more freedom for the COR to move around because you could potentially have 1x 20min buff and only have to re-roll the 2nd buff every 5 (6:40 merits) min.

[Byrthnoth]

This makes sense because SE removed the XI double duration in the Sept patch.

Lets hope that it triples the duration of your last roll, not your next roll.

[TummieGaruda]

Only problem I see with Triple Duration is that "Fold" removes the buff with the longest time remaining.

[Nexxus]

the ninjutsu look like utsusemi: San, nearly same first effect, then a "cocoon" effect. Maybe not a shadow ninjutsu, a magic-evasion ninjutsu or something like that maybe.

[Jeryhn]

For those of you wondering about the ninjutsu spell, the current DAT file lists it as an Earth-elemental Ninjutsu that targets an enemy.
Probably will be some sort of debuff, but it doesn't appear to be a Hojo variation.
Learned at lv88 NIN. Ichi level of course, if anyone cares to know.

Besides that, it looks like NIN will get another ninjutsu at lv93, that's light-elemental and also targets an enemy. Also Ichi.

Now that I'm home, I can further elaborate on my earlier post with a more detailed list for your consumption
Please note that it's entirely possible that this could all change a week from now, so don't blame me if you go wasting money on spell scrolls now.
All of this data is pulled from the common resources file that accessible in the latest version of POLUtis, with spell names filled in that I could determine through pattern-solving.

Cure5 and Cure6 are listed as WHM-only. No other jobs are presumed to have access.
Curaga5 - WHM91
Banish4 - WHM90
Protect5 - PLD90
Shell5 - RDM87, SCH90 (PLD will never have access.)
Addle - WHM93
Cura3 - WHM96
WHM86, PLD95, SCH95 are all due for yet unnamed spells under the Enhancing Magic category, all self-target only.

Boost-STR - WHM93
Boost-DEX - WHM99
Boost-AGI - WHM90
Boost-INT - WHM96
Boost-CHR - WHM87
Gain-STR - RDM93
Gain-DEX - RDM99
Gain-AGI - RDM90
Gain-INT - RDM96
Gain-CHR - RDM87

You may notice the Gain/Boost series of spells mostly follows the elemental hierarchy in terms of level requirements to learn them, with the exception of CHR.

Fire5 - BLM86, SCH91
Blizzard5 - BLM89, SCH95
Aero5 - SCH87
Thunder5 - BLM92, SCH99
Break - RDM87, DRK95, SCH90

Firaja - BLM90
Blizzaja - BLM93
Aeroja - BLM87
Thundaja - BLM96
SCH is also listed as having a yet unnamed light-elemental black magic spell to be learned at lv95.

SMN has one slot left in the summoning magic area for an avatar. Likely the new elementals are enemy mobs and not summonable.

BRDs are NOT listed in the entries for Minuet5 or March3, but all their levels for the Carol2 series look as though they've already been determined as well, similarly to the above list.
Though I can't be arsed to list the correct spells because I'd have to check elements, etc. I'll let someone else do this for you guys.

[Toth]

Great stuff Jeryhn!

Although I really hope they are just planning ahead and not releasing lvl 99 already.

[Jeryhn]

It seems as though they've already planned ahead to what jobs will get from now until 99, at least spell-wise, but its entirely possible that they come up with new surprises for us based upon player demand, if they really do pay attention like the Community Team says they do. We'll just have to wait and see.

Btw, for those of you wanting to verify any of this info yourself, I downloaded POLUtis from this URL:
http://code.google.com/p/polutils/

All I did was pull the stuff from the Common spells file into a spreadsheet and figured out everything from there.

[Pandorablue]

SCH is also listed as having a yet unnamed light-elemental black magic spell to be learned at lv95.

SCH confirmed for Ultima? Where's Meteor?

WHM86, PLD95, SCH95 are all due for yet unnamed spells under the Enhancing Magic category, all self-target only.

Could this be the spell that people are speculating to be regain?

[Jeryhn]

SCH confirmed for Ultima? Where's Meteor?

Meteor's been in the DATs since the game came out.
It's a "special-elemental" spell that costs 1 MP to cast and 8 seconds to cast.

Comet is similar, but its dark-elemental and 4 seconds to cast. Also 1 MP. Neither spell is listed to any job.

Could this be the spell that people are speculating to be regain?

Could be. I don't have an updated file for AltanaViewer though, so I can't verify whether or not it belong to SCH like some people are saying.

[Alkar]

Could this be the spell that people are speculating to be regain?

Unless we're going to 99 with this update, no.
Regain is the spell that the Mithra SCH is casting on a DNC in the version update announcement teaser. Not to mention that a self-target only Regain would be quite useless on a WHM or PLD.
This list is quite incomplete anyway. SE mentioned SMN getting "more avatars down the line". It will eventually be updated when they decide to add them.

[ronin sparthos]

Wouldn't be surprised if the light elemental attack turned out to be Comet for SCH, Meteor for BLM.

[fredjanx]

stuff

This is true info.
A spell caught my eye, though. It's... weird
Spell Info ID495 Index495 BlackMagic Water Self ElementalMagic 88SCH MPCost0 CastingTime8s RecastDelay24s ListIconID6 UnknownValue#1: 00 (0)
I'm sure the level 95 WHM/PLD 200mp spell will be Holy II.

[Sho]

Those Common files will be altered soon upon the update, I'm sure. It's completely devoid of Blue Magic Skills post 85.

EDIT: Nevermind, they are there, just not assigned a level yet. See about 35 ish spells yet to be assigned a level.

[fredjanx]

No Cure5 for RDM and SCH kinda sucks, so probably.
Also, I didn't see Comet or Meteor <.<
annnnnnnnd while we're at it, how can one update AltanaViewer to be able to recognize the new files? mine can only see up to the september stuff.

[Forte]

This list is quite incomplete anyway. SE mentioned SMN getting "more avatars down the line". It will eventually be updated when they decide to add them.

As a SMN who wants more avatars more than anything, let me say that SE said no such thing. They only said "More was coming down the line." More WHAT, they did not say. The translation on the english page was sketchy as always.
