WHM, SCH, BLM and SMN feels too basic, while PLD and WAR are kinda strange given the lb is an AOE ability but the animation is just a wall, IMO these 6 are the ones that need an uptdated lb the most.
Fr. PLD and WAR seem way too basic compared to their peers. WHM desperately needs one along with SMN. The others im relatively okay with. SCH is cute and imo doesn't absolutely need one but I can totally see why people don't like it.
MCH is underwhelming. SMN doesn't feel powerful. PLD and DRK seem outdated with the jobs direction. VRP, though is new, felt underwhelming. DRG animation is good but the blue dragon needs some updating. I have no idea what SGE is doing, feel like the animation doesn't fit the job, the entire thing should be all blueish yet it is all gold. My 2 cents.
Pld for sure needs an updated LB3. It's so sad looking. I think Sch & Smn might also need a bit updating too bc they loose their unique-ness. Sch can summon seraph at will and can turn into a seraph/angel now so there's no novelty in Angel Feathers. Where as Smn can literally summon 2 Bahamuts so Megaflare is kinda "Meh-gaflare"
I feel paladin's LB worked back when shelltron didn't have an upgrade because it was basically mega shelltron, but now holy shelltron looks more impressive animation wise than the lb, which is weird
PLD the ultimate living shield…and their ultimate is a pathetic wall that breaks right away because the builders weren’t payed enough. PLD needs a giant fucking shield of light with streams of light flowing around it
Yeah, at this point I kinda expected being able to SEE my WoL’s face - or whoever dropped the LV3 - during the animation, kinda like Tales of Berseria and Arise did it during special attacks. They could use the same character “boxes” seen in some dialogues (introduced in EW) with the WoL? IDK. Most of the time I hardly notice the animations anyway during the fights because the screen goes black and “DUTY COMPLETE” automatically appears with the loot and commendation window lol
Fun fact: PLD, WHM, and BLM still use the generic role based LBs that were the initial system in ARR. That’s why they’re pretty plain (Pally is just a wall, well, that’s what the Tank role LB just was). Even more funny is since Bard was the only Phys. Range job, it used the healer LB since OG Bards were designed as the support job and their songs were mostly for MP and TP regeneration.
Unironically, paladin has the perfect visual skill for the LB3 in the game already, Passage of Arms looks amazing and perfectly communicates the "I'm going to protect everyone" energy that it should
@@kurosakikun96 This! I was thinking the same thing. Passage of Arms is one of the best looking skills in the game and would definitely make a better LB animation
Agreed. I know that MNK's is a reference to Tifa and all that but I'd honestly rather see something monk-lore related containing some better textures rather than a giant beam of light
I haven't gotten to a point where I could press a button like this but holy hell I'd imagine I'd feel so powerful with the godlike music of this game going on in the background and me beating up some epic as hell boss
Viper has been the first time I have been disappointed in a LB. The job is fun, but lacks any significant viper identity outside of ablility names. Jelly of Drg LB😐
The fact that Tank limit breaks are NEVER useful outside of a random mechanic they'll throw into a savage raid once every few years is lame. I wish it did something else besides just +Defense, like casting a party-wide Reflect spell that bounced the damage dealt by a raidwide attack back at the boss.
It's pretty damn vital when it does come up, though, and limit breaks should be impactful every time. Fewer people competing for a shared resource across a party is a good thing, too.
@@edwardking9359 If only that were true. D'you know how often I tank in dungeons and the DPS just never touch the limit break? Probably a solid 70% of the time. Unless you ask them to use LB in chat, and then you look like a jerk for backseating.
@shallotliltian7617 You don't look like a jerk for backseating if you ask people to do something you need them to do, mate. You're making a request of a teammate who you're working with. Often the dps either just forgot to use it in that scenario or is worried people will be annoyed at them for using it too soon, so you asking them to use it doubles as a reminder and permission. Main tank leads, so don't be afraid to be a leader.
SMN needs to upgrade to a Tera or Exaflare, with Full Metal Field in MCH we need something even crazier maybe a giant eff off laser we fire ourselves or launching an actual theromonuclear warhead. Paladin just needs a full LB3 rework, we need more holiness and divine light protection in the animation.
they should give pld passage of arms 2 for their lb3. bigger wings, more light, etc. maybe a big shield to hold. its my least favorite job but ill be damned if passage of arms isnt one of the coolest skills in the game
The black mage animation is so underwhelming. You see this big ass meteor falling, and then the explosion strats before it toughed the ground, the rock disappears and smaller rocks appear in its place, the transition is so bad.
I don't understand some comments saying a lot of these are underwhelming or need a overhaul...perhaps some do but most of them are fine to me. Idk I just hardly ever see some of these
Monk’s is so damn good while Sam’s is so plain. The ending of Sam’s is great with the sheath though. But the two jobs should be flipped. Sam should have a charge and one quick strike because that’s how the class is while monk should be a flurry of attacks.
Lb3 needs a revamp. We’ve seen them hundreds of times. They, just like the actual jobs, need something to distinguish themselves. All tanks do the same thing, all heals do the same etc. etc. Why can’t paladin give a regen or heal. Why can’t War give life steal. Drk a shield. Why can’t ast give a buff to gcd speed. Whm could nuke the boss. Scholar could summon a giga fairy for 15 secs. Sage could put Kardia on everyone. All of these little ideas could be dropped onto the existing lbs to make them more exciting and actually feel diverse and individualized. I came up with these while typing this message. Square can easily do something to make this game fresh but are just too damn scared
This would make some classes mandatory in content that you do savage/ult content in, or useless. For example, gcd speed increase is not great for phys range, pld, rpr, etc I do get your vibe though
IMO Sage's looks so ugly. The texture quality is so low it looks like its out of a PS1 game. I mean just compare Sage's to GNB or AST, the difference is huge.
my thing is why give me limit break as a dancer when it's understood that Melee dps jobs do limit breaks for dps only! I was told it's do to melee doing the most damage? So why give me the ability at all if i can't use it ever!? As far as the other classes: I know that healers LB3 does a party wide res. What does LB3 for tanks do?
It's not a hard rule that Melee are the only people supposed to use LB3, just common practice. If melees aren't using it, then Ranged and Casters have fair game to use it. Can't tell ya how many times Melees don't use it when the boss is almost dead, it's almost wasted, and so as a Caster main, I fire it off. Same with not having a melee in the party. It's free real estate for Ranged and Casters. As the Tank LB3, it's a massive shield/damage mitigation. There's several ultimate attacks used by Trial bosses and even Raids that need that Tank LB3 to even survive the attack. Otherwise, it wipes your whole party, and you have to start the fight all over again.
1: You might not have a melee 2: Melee might be dead 3: Limit Breaks aren't exclusively for bosses 4: Adds are a thing during boss fights, and its beneficial to nuke all the adds at once in a big attack over wasting the ult on a single target 5: In normal difficulty content 90% of the time the boss dies without a limit break going off at all so anyone can use their limit if its free 6: Tank LB makes the party invincible for a time, there are a handful of "party will wipe if tank doesn't LB" mechanics in the game, and I've seen tanks use the LB to prevent a wipe in situations where the party has a lot of vuln stacks and their HP is low and a party wide AOE is incoming. It gave the healers time to get everyone healed up in time.
You should be using ranged lb on mob pulls after the first boss or when you get lb1 The damage from hitting multiple mobs does more damage than 1 melee lb
I only agree with Astro, dancer and dragoon. The rest are meh. For example, paladin could have easily summoned a giant with giant shield to defend the entire area, war shouldn't be wall or whatever that was but use his axe put energy into it make it massive and block incoming dmg. Gunbreaker is actually decent. Whm shouldn't be whatever that shit was, but summon a tree then drop the living water onto players and revive them... sage was okay but makes 0 sense as they didn't have any tree but could have been crystallise instead of glowing golden tree with streams, don't get me started on ninja... could have done a proper job by doing shadow clone jutsu with thousands of shadow clones attacking the target. Oh and BLM was actually okay so keep that I guess but redo the graphic. Red mage makes 0 sense, it uses both sword and magic so why don't they implement on that I wonder... reaper would be cooler if you get to summon a massive reaper and cleave the target. Scholar is okay but could have been like books animation or put your energy into your pet make it big and revive everyone. Samurai was the most boring one. Instead of having slices then sheath the sword could be sheathed the sword then chaos ensues but whatever. Machinist was meh boring. Viper was okay picto was actually a let down... could have summoned all the muse and attack but I guess they didn't think of that. Dk was okay could be better interms of shadow realm and shit. Monk was not bad but since saitama came out I think they could have used the same animation effect and rework it. Bard makes sense but make better graphic and it would have been good All in all, astro, blm, dancer and gun were good. The rest need rework big big time. Its 2024.
Ast lb3 is insane, i love it so much
krile committed a war crime by setting off her limit break in a crowded market
I think some jobs need new LBs lol

Huh, never noticed Aeriths staff appearing in WHM LB. I knew it was named after her LB not that her weapon appeared in it.
the white mage is also kneeling and praying like she does in the game when she gets stabbed
The little intros for every class are amazing. You did an amazing job editing this! :D

PLD the ultimate living shield…and their ultimate is a pathetic wall that breaks right away because the builders weren’t payed enough. PLD needs a giant fucking shield of light with streams of light flowing around it
Trump would be proud
I had just noticed it tonight in explorer mode, but I love that the little spriggan that pictomancer draws does the cackling we hear in the trailer❤
I think LBs need to be reworked, honestly. Very specific uses, only in instances, has felt like a waste to me since ARR.
Same, i think they need to throw some more ideas on the uses of LB

AST have no reason to hit so hard its looking like the big bang or smth
Ikr even if someone wastes an lb3 as an AST I can't even be mad it just looks great
3:44 flashbang
Think fast, chucklenuts
just reading through the comments i already know its crimson vermillion
Samurai is just so elegant and impactful, love it
I like that The machinist just called an air strike haha
I dont understand how AST and WHM Lbs can coexist in the same game
Paladin needs a complete overhaul, everyone else is perfect. Maybe monk could be a little more interesting.

@@roschwei5639 add “go beyond”
Paladin has the worst LB3 it needs a redesign. Perhaps holy shield of light?
SMN’s should have some more dynamic movement with those wings
I also think it's time we upgraded that LB3 to a Tera or Exaflare.
I haven't gotten to a point where I could press a button like this but holy hell I'd imagine I'd feel so powerful with the godlike music of this game going on in the background and me beating up some epic as hell boss
DNC is just so cool looking
As a player who main PLD and WHM, I do glad I don't have to use LB most of the time lol
My favorites are still BLM, RDM, DRK, and SAM. RPR, MNK, and AST get an honorable mention.
Thank you for sharing this! It’s fantastic! 🤩 I’ve never seen some of these. 🤣
@@keiyangoshin3650 Thank you!
