SE needs to spank whoever made that demonstration.

No one did anything at all in the video. I don't even think they WS'd. Just turned on god mode and went afk.

My guess is that they are Bish h2h.

The one I saw the puppet master did a bunch of "combo" weaponskills, moved around etc. The blue mage did a bunch of different weaponskills and everyone cheered every time it did bomb toss.

- Wild Card: allow party members to reuse their abilities

I wonder if this means it works like the silver boxes in limbus without the HP/MP. If so, that can lead to some broken stuff if 2 CORs can Wild Card each other to give the other the ability back.

For example, KRT pt with 3 MNKs, 1 WHM, and 2 CORs.

Engage bone, all MNKs use 100 Fists, after fight WHM uses Bene. First COR uses Wild Card to give 2hrs back. Engage second bone, MNKs use 100 fists, WHM uses Bene. Second COR uses Wild Card to give 2hrs back plus first COR gets Wild Card again.

Repeat times a lot.

You're assuming Wild Card is AoE, if it's just single target or doesn't restore 2 hours your idea won't be as game breaking as you hope it is.

WOW

Huh?

Open your regionmap and look for that place.

[Maguspk]

Ok, all I'm seeing is that that place is nowhere on my region map. Care to elaborate for a little old fool like me lol?

All the new areas added with ToAU won't be on the current region map and instead will have their own extension of it. How you will access it (new menu bar tab? just scroll right more on current map?) and whether or not it will be affected by current conquest stuffs, I don't know.

[Avvesione]

Well, I'm liking the look how how big the area is... should be interesting to see how the zones are laid out.

[BRP]

I also like how the Far East is probably connected by land.

The current theory on KI for that pic:

THe world as we knew it seemed big on our regional map. But on this larger map its upside down for some reason, and about 1/20th the size we though.

Holy shit 6souls thats insane... it is actually somewhat plausible.

At the same time IMO it doesnt quite look right. And also we do know N S E W on the map we have are true. So...

[BRP]

As sexy as that is, I don't think its right. Because uh... everything coming would need to be in the East. (And there is nothing to the south... yeah)

Thus being only a theory, but that does look very similar to the current world map.

[aurik]

Unless you're looking down on the world from the north pole?

[Aumann]

thatd make the far east the near west

[BRP]

Ignoring the whole "Direction thing", there are just too many errors.

-We have seen the planet, it isn't that big.
-Quon is taller in Mindartia in both North and South.
-Islands don't match up.

But I think the fact it completely murders the mental image of the four directional lands in our mental image is enough to debuke it. Mindartia is next to the Near East.

[Shuemue]

The RL 'Far East' isn't exactly east if you live in say Australia.

[nivlakian]

Can someone post the region map? I also don't think that image matches up correctly.

[aurik]

You're ignoring the fact that a flat map of a globe looks distorted. And this is an artist rendition.

[Aumann]

australia also looks like its upside down

[BRP]

The RL 'Far East' isn't exactly east if you live in say Australia.

As true as that is, the possibility is still impossible. That would be like denying the fact South America is below North America, even if you took the North and South out. Mindartia is closest to Aht Urgan, no matter the direction.

On that map, Quon is closer.

Am I mistaken in reading the blown up portion of that map as the area SE lists on their site as Arrapago Reef? Pretty sure that's what that is and not the world as we currently know it.
