- special ability "Argel Law", increases effectiveness of blue magic for set time
- ability "Blue Chain" allows you to use physical-type blue magic in skillchains
- ability "Blue Burst" allows you to use magic-type blue magic in magic bursts

Sounds awesome, but status confuses me... what could that mean.

COR:
- Phantom Roll: strengthens party members, can also "Double Up"
- Phantom roll affects jobs in the following way:
WAR -> dmg accuracy up, WHM -> healing MP up, BLM -> mag.atk. up, RDM -> mag.acc, up, PLD -> counter damage, RNG -> acc. (both) up, SMN -> refresh, COR -> exp. up, other jobs unknown for now

OMG, WILD CARD SOUNDS LIKE THE BEST 2hr EVER. Also, Refresh and... exp up?!

PUP:
- Maton (the doll) can be called like wyvern, using "Stringer"
- You can control your maton with items
- Maton will disappear when HP runs out but you can resummon or repair it

"???" items?

Other bits:
- field and dungeon music will be new
- region menu will change a lot. Aht Urhgan region map revealed... separate map to rest of VD.

Nice and nice.

- "unconfirmed items" will be from Assault only?

Told 'ja so.

- Assault is for 3-6 people
- Besiege NPCs cannot be cured, they can also be captured and kidnapped

Awesome...

- There are mogs in Nashmo town

Hurray.

[Janice]

Sweet, Corsair PLing will be even easier. I'm guessing phantom roll randomly chooses one of these abilities from the party members. So if you are solo, it may turn out to always be xp up.

[Eternus]

Sounds really interesting... wonder how much of this is correct and accurate. I used to read ffxionline alot in the past and usually the stuff on there was fairly accurate. Those boards really went dead last time I checked.

[Sonomaa]

duoing corsairs will be soooo easy now mwah ha ha

[Hirronimus]

I'll save people trouble and say this: Nerf COR!

[Janice]

Yeah but what if you use Shadow Roll in a WAR X3 BRD COR WHM, and everyone gets MP healing. All right!!!

[Kaworu]

They'd probably just make it not work in that case >.> Stingy bitches.

Corsair sounds great situationally - but would you honestly replace a bard for something that's always going to be a gamble?

"SLEEP IT NOW YOU STUPID FUCK"
*Phantom Roll*
"REFRESH? WTF?"

Cue wipeout.

[BRP]

Those boards really went dead last time I checked.

It pretty much has NO trolls(save me), so it just looks dead from afar. It is just a laid back(and overall, more professional). It has the 'family' feel you kind of sense here(well without the grudges), but the low-levelness of KI I guess.

[raginbull]

Awesome info, but one thing perplexed me: why would anyone think BLU is "everything RDM should have been"?

[BRP]

I don't agree with RDM should have been BLU. But there is no doubt. DRG should have been PUP with a pointy stick.

[Eternus]

haha wonder how PUP does with WS for H2H

[Janice]

Well the whole changing stats thing could be good. I'd imagine if you equip more physical attack oriented moves, your stats in str dex would go up. So in theory, you could have kinda more melee stats and have mp too.

[Nirokun!]

i think when they say the status of the blue mage will change based on the spells you choose, is the stats on your char (STR, DEX, VIT) will change when you change spells... so you can gear up to make the best of your abilites+racial strengths

hello taru blus nuking and MBing lol

mithra death scissors anyone?

mmhmm

(they didnt mention the puppetmaster's 2hr >_> hopefully its not calling the puppet every 2hrs, although it might be, since you have the option of repairing it and sending it back into battle maybe? dunno )

[Alleya]

- Assault is for 3-6 people

THANK YOU JESUS

[BRP]

You make it seem SE doesn't add a lot of casual end-game stuff to begin with. Hello thar ENM, Limbus, and In the Name of Science.
