Well, she did master de-fusion, so going SS shouldn't be too tough.

Never mind those dragonballs she's got going on there. That reminds me disturbingly of her Dissidia EX Burst, Play Rough.

In related news.. FFRK is also celebrating FFXI's anniversary.
They've been playing Vana'diel March and gave a free FFXI accessory.
They're finally gonna add XI realm by January too.

Something about Beetles, they better not have fixed the backwards leg after 13 years. lol

[Tarage]

I thought... the patch was tomorrow night.

[Teryu]

Pfft, new gifts are boring. No new abilities or spells or anything.

[Not Kuno]

Wow the 2100 gift is such bullshit across the board, lol.

O~hohoho, foolish mortals.
You're fighting the one who opened the original dimensional portal.

SE continues to fuck Empyreans. Regardless, if Aeonic stats so not go up further then it seems pretty unlikely they will be good. Actually, if Aeonics cannot be offhanded then Empyreans will probably be the best offhand weapons.

[scaevola]

Also, maybe not surprising, but no new jobs on the upgraded weapons.

Certainly I didn't expect it, but every job without a relic is put at a pretty substantial disadvantage by being unable to fast-track a +269 weapon.

[Sechs]

Am I a fool for expecting a quick and unpainful method of upgrade similar to Plutons/Riftborn/Beitetsu?
Yes Sechs, you are a fool.

Either way, I'm seriously failing to understand what the "barance" issues is with putting more jobs on Relics and Empyrean. Relics maybe for lore reasons... ok, stupid but I could understand that.
But Empyrean?!
I want goddamn Dagan on my GEO! ><

[The Assman]

Even the lore reason is BS because DNC/SCH have just as much right to be on relics as the 15 original/Zilart jobs.

For those who want to see the video



At around 38 min they show how the SC's work.

Sam performs Shoha at 300% TP to get AM3, then does Shoha > Shoha > Radiance. Radiance did about 2.6x closing WS dmg for about 10.4k

Next they did a 3 step with DRK and SAM. Entropy > Fudo > [Darkness] > Entropy [Umbra]. Umbra 3 stepped did about 3.15x closing WS damage.

So at least from the SAM's point of view, it looks like you need AM3 or at least to WS with 300% to be able to use the ultimate skillchain.

[Byrthnoth]

The random multiplier term SE added to skillchains makes it pretty difficult to interpret those results, but it looks like the skillchain base multiplier is probably greater than Tier 3.

Also, this confirms that the WS used to close probably has to be the merit WS, which kills any real hope for dagger Aeonic mainhand builds (which would use Exenterator).

We still need to know:
* What is the exact progression of multipliers for 2-6 WS skillchains?
* Can we do Double Darkness -> Umbra or Double Light -> Radiance?
* Can we do Radiance -> Radiance?
* Do Aeonics become statless in the offhand?

[Fwahm]

Does it confirm that? Did we see other possible level 3 SC closers while AM3 was up?

[Draylo]

Do they say where you get the Kupo gear from? I noticed they showed it.

As far as lvl 4... seems really awkward to require both the AM from the merit ws AND to also close with it. Especially when you consider the total caps are still in place on merit ws unless somehow these weapons fully unlock the ws too
