Patch 1.20 Notes~

[Tomino]

I'm lost on the class Traits having this 5sec recast...
Some look like plain numeric improvements (like GLA +def traits), do they have to be activated by clicking an action, like a cooldown?

[miokomioko]

I'm hoping it's simply a typo and/or formatting mistake. Attack Power +8 for PGL doesn't seem nearly powerful enough to require activating.

[Cayos]

Why do all of the polearms also have ARC listed on them? Isn't that Archer?

Also, in the moogle boss video, each character was named after the job they were, except the lancer. The lancer was using a polearm, but had Arc in it's name. Anyone know why this is?

[Don Katsu]

They should have lowered tp gain for specific jobs only not all of them. At the rate they are going they might as well delete pugilist

[Jojimbo]

There were a lot of typos in there (for instance all the corp LNC weapons had Defence: instead of Atk and req LNC / req ARC). Also I think CNJ Refresh is missing its Ex tag? Unless just THM is Ex and not CNJ

[TacoTaru]

Was it actually called Stonera and not Stonra in older games? That sounds...silly? Also, CNJ getting Auto-Refresh makes me a very happy CNJ. Guess I should have read further since THM gets it too which is also awesome.

[Wulfgang]

Hoping the recast timer on the traits was a botch somehow. Gathering nodes on the map is one of the best parts of this update. Curious to see how many totems are required for weapon exchange.

Huh? Always been Stonera/Stonega.

[Draylo]

Decent changes,

"
* Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time between patch 1.20 and 1.21."

That was coming eventually lol, I wonder how frustrating that will be before they revamp the servers for 2.0.

[Fereydoon]

Huh? Always been Stonera/Stonega.

Stonega has existed, but there's never actually been a Stonera/Stonra before.

[Elcura]

Stonega has existed, but there's never actually been a Stonera/Stonra before.

I guess not, but following the other naming conventions, it should be ston-e-ra, not stonra.

[solracht]

I'm hoping it's simply a typo and/or formatting mistake. Attack Power +8 for PGL doesn't seem nearly powerful enough to require activating.

I think they're just internal cooldowns, but they're still passive.

5 seconds pass, you get attack+8 until you use a WS, then the effect wears off. Wait 5 seconds and it goes up again.

We'll see.

[TacoTaru]

My mistake, I thought I remembered Stonra/Stonera from FFVIII but I was wrong obviously.

[Toth]

Auto refresh...Don't we already have that?

[Elcura]

Auto refresh...Don't we already have that?

Not if we're engaged, casting or doing something. Auto-Refresh should restore MP no matter what you do.

[TacoTaru]

Have they made mention of us getting new animations for these new/redone WS, are they going to be the same animations we have now, or is it up in the air at this point?

[Dein]

I'm not holding my breath for much in the way of new animations until 2.0, and I'm hoping the recast: 5s is a formatting error (as there are tons in the notes) on the traits. My main concern currently is that shield block rates will still be shitty as they made no mention in the patch notes of adjusting them.

[Gokulo]

Well, you get enhanced block rate trait

[Chakra]

If you watch the moogle video you see how many animations have changed. Also, some classes get totally new WS. Which obviously would need a animation to go with it. The three-fold MRD WS for example is one of them.

[Alkar]

Animations will be redone later on. They have mentioned a while ago that for this patch they'll reuse animations as much as possible.
However they are changing the casting effects (not animation) for CNJ and THM this patch.
