  • Lost all my video footage on this one and could only salvage the audio, so I'm sorry for the weird editing toward the end. But all in all I'm excited to test my PC against the Benchmark when it comes around. Lemme know what you think of the trailer as well down in the comments bellow, and don't forget to subscribe for the future lore content!

    I would like to make a case for Limit Break lore: They *are* aether. Pure, unadulterated, collected aether, focused forwards into a single burst of power. At the same time, I don't think the Endsinger going "Dynamis?!" is exclusively because of the location we fought her in.
    What if they are mutual forces? Think of a laser. Aether, is the light. The raw power behind it all. Without the light, nothing much can be done at all. Dynamis is merely a focusing lens - a resilient element at the heart of it all. The omicrons muse over the fact that organic beings the universe over garner an untold amount of strength from adversity, drawing strength of untold proportions when you kill their loved ones (which leads to the whole "My Beloved" experiment).
    So what if Dynamis is merely something that gives the aether direction and focus - and therefore *impact*, much like how a red mage focuses their conjury and thaumaturgy into precise rapier combat for maximum impact? Going back to the laser analogy: You can achieve the same result as a focused beam by giving the unfocused beam more energy - or more aether. You cannot, however, make a laser work by creating the best focusing lens ever made and stuffing it in a dark box.

    The most astounding thing I like is the fact cutscenes have characters show actual items in hands more frequently instead of handing over nothing or reading nothing. Also I wasn’t all that aware we even had a skin full of water. Though in hindsight, that’s an adventurer’s common item. We just never see it being used on our person. Same with the item bag. There’s no physical bag, just like… a waist pouch.
    Edit: I’m starting to feel people are focusing on the later half of my statement rather than the main point.

    One problem with jobs continuing to expand is that that can't continue forever, PLD is already rather bloated in button count at 90, and eventually all jobs would get too complex to play effectively. The exception to that is swapping out old abilities for new ones, which then leads losing buttons at lower levels entirely unless it is just an upgrade like you're worried about.

    • @SynodicScribe
      @SynodicScribe  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      True, I'm not saying the jobs need new buttons every expansion. The game would become a nightmare for console players. But they used to have more identity than they do now. We don't have Job quests anymore, which means no new lore.
      So I'd like to see them expand on the jobs' gameplay instead of simply getting a tag that says. "Potency has increased from 300 to 350" with a slightly more flashy animation. That's all.

      @mismismism 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the biggest remedy to this is if they remove raid wide buffs so all the jobs don't have to align because then they could have some jobs with lots of buttons that are paced out in such a way that they have a longer rotation so it's not overwhelming, like there could be a job that wants to bar swap in their rotation if they just had a long rotation instead of the short loops we have now, or jobs could just have more interesting mechanics like unlocking flip skills, or jobs like SMN actually having a bunch of summons they could choose from based on what they need, not just focusing on DPS and staying in sync with the group. That's my biggest hope because the 2 minute burst is already badly shackling what they can come up with for jobs and abilities.

      With the benchmarks, it's historically shown off the "upgrades" you'd get every even level. I'm convinced nothing of what we saw in the benchmark were the true level 100 capstone abilities unless of course they're bucking previous patterns. I'd expect some trimming of the fat though (i.e. Shoha I and II combining on SAM, Upheavel and Orogeny combining on WAR etc.) since I'd imagine a lot of the new stuff will be oGCD.

      I think the nature of the upgrade also matters. Just having potency improvements? Yeah, that gets stale real fast. In the case of something like upgrading Heart of Stone to Heart of Corundum? That has a bit more meat to it. So I think upgrades can be okay, provided they're changing the function of an ability.
      If it can make you change how you think about it? Great! If not... I agree it's pretty uninspiring.

I base this around the fact that even Hermes, head researcher of avian creatures in Elpis, was unable to fly without assuming his transformed mantle.
    As a rule of thumb, if the Ancients could not do it, our shards don't stand a chance of doing it either.

    Speaking from the lore we know, the map COULD be from a past Autarch hopeful in a time before the arrival of Ketenramm the Blue. As the lore has stated, it is a matter of performance that determines a new autarch. So it would be reasonable to think that, the autarch hopeful found the city of gold, but for some reason could not make it back to prove their worth. The points that are check marked look like landmarks. The arch in the bottom right of the map could stand to indicate a gateway, fort, or bridge. The pillar looking icon near the lake/pond could indicate a temple or religiously significant structure (like the Mesoamerican pyramids in South America) or a seat of power of some sort. The closely cross-sectioned roads next to the lake is very likely some sort of city due to its layout and the fact that one of the roads (assumably the main road through the town/city) leads to the pyramid-like icon., which, irl was a very popular design for towns/cities at one point in history. The icon with the big x at its base is probably a significant structure to the MSQ and the arrow pointing at its left side on the map could be an indication of an ingress point on the west side of the structure. The broken up lin going from road to structure could be an indicator of a hidden or unpaved path. On most modern irl maps, a broken up line normally indicates a badly paved or unpaved road. Since this is a fantasy game, I'm putting my money on "a secret path that leads into the structure from the western road."

    I definitely agree on the jobs feeling very samey for a while now. I think a good solution could be some sort of implementation of the Eureka/Bozja/Variant Dungeon speciall skill system into everyday gameplay or, similarly, made the current cross-job skill system a bit more interesting.
    Having the ability to choose 3 or 4 extra skills to add to your arsenal would help players differentiate from each other and give them some agency, even if the skills themselves aren't super vital or synergized with the rest of the toolkit. They could even add some Eureka sillyness there weaker versions of Swift, Death or Focus.

    If we were to look at the colibri and where they seem to pop up, it is a species that seem to live in and around tropical jungles and costal spaces. Just like some species of irl tropical birds. So if you want to give a zoological explanation for them, it would be, "these birds are of the same family as the colibri of the isle of Vylbrand but they have lived and evolved in a separate geological location." It is most likely that the original species had migrated to either Tural or Vylbrand and began to grow and adapt in their new home. The color difference is likely caused by the same phenomena flamingos have. The stuff they eat has something in it that their bodies break down and deposit in their feathers.

    I'm of the mind that we didn't see anything new job wise in the trailer aside from reworked VFX of old actions. It is a graphics update so it stands to reason they would touch up old actions. We'll see if my thoughts are accurate next live letter though.

  • @Glenningway

    Those colibri might have a different texture to make them appear like a different breed of the same type. They don't look like flamingos, more of an orange hue to them.
    Also those trolls (using their FFXI name) are straight up character models they took and upscaled from XI (they tend to do this from the PS2 onward where they reuse a model from other games.) With the 24-man being FFXI themed, I'm hoping to see the original beastmen as well since the Crystal War is a direct story theme for base XI and Wings of the Goddess expansions.
    Hype for Viper is high up there, my hope is that we get a main and off-hand sword so we can have mixed sword glamours. Probably not going to happen, but I can hope.

    The most important lore piece in the trailer is how WoL does NOT save LB3 until his opponent is on a sliver of strength for overkill. He uses it when it's safe to charge (the enemy is winding up a big move that the Warrior can protect him from) and all the damage matters.
    fwiw I 100% agree with your rant. The visuals are cool, but I'm not jazzed about getting BIGGER CHAINSAW or Armored Hellfrog that Spits BLUE FLAME upgrades and that likely being the majority of the "new abilities".

    11:33 we had a mass migration/diaspora of species (especially birds) after our own world flood irl. tho it happened over a much longer span of time in our world, as the waters receded, certain species made their way to new lands. i pretty much assume that a mix of animal trade and a mass diaspora of species after the 6th Umbral Calamatiy are the lore reasons for the model recycling people are referring to. how did parrots end up in England? why are there finches in alpine Rocky Mountain states, but also in the tropical Galapagos Islands? ice froze and thawed, water rose and fell. landscapes changed. creatures adapted or moved. i did not think it was a huge mystery.

    I understand what mean about how getting bigger badder versions of our current abilities is a bit dull, but at the same time, PLD’s full skill set already takes up three bars. The solution of condescending combo actions into a single button to make room would probably be derided as more dumbing down of the game.

  • @TianaSidhe

    As I was examining the trailer myself at 1/4 speed, I counted 4-5 different people wielding what appear to be The Ogre, Zidane's thief sword formed by synthesizing two Mage Mashers together. Now they *could* have been in the hands of Dragoons, as none that I spotted were shown using any techniques, but I find it more feasible to be Vipers.
    Can we talk about the bow that the Bard was using in the Autarch battle?! It's a literal electric guitar strapped to a bow frame! GIMME! Also I am in love with in-game hair down Wuk Lamat and her waving with both hands after our meeting with the big-eyed person. So cute!

    Pretty sure the big serpent isn't an S-rank Hunt, but a Rare FATE Boss. There's been one in every benchmark so far: Coeurlregina, Tamamo Gozen, Archaeotania, and Chi. And they've largely been at similar points in the benchmark, as an excuse to show off a bunch of characters attacking it. We've never seen an S-rank Hunt in a benchmark to date.

  • @RezonShinryu

    Heya scribe, kind of a fanboy headcannon but maybe you can agree to some of my thought processes. I've noticed that ever since Keeper of the lake (i.e. new expansions after arr) dragoons are getting more and more abilities reflective of the first brood and midgardsormr, and I've always viewed it as mid's interaction with our aether and the blessing of light. My 'evidence' was blood if the dragon being added in hw as well as our lb3 being dragonsong dive (an aetheric manifestation that looks like mid), followed by mirage dive and life of the dragon. Now like I said, this is purely fanboy headcannon, but I'm hoping the changes to drg lean into the aesthetic of channeling mid and the first brood.

However if that's what we get I will still love my fave MMO, it might mean changing my character but it's the higher fidelity environments and equipment I am interested in. I just really hope they sort the lighting out so that peoples characters don't look like ken dolls. Me, I don't care but I see a lot of upset 14 year olds being very vocal about it and I hope they get what they want.

  • @25xxfrostxx

    The face at the beginning was less than inspiring. The majority of the rest of what we saw looked good and the monster textures were incredible. I think the face was missing lighting or a texture layer or something, it looked kind of flat.
    As far as Nidhogg, it's not too shocking, we got our dragoon abilities. Plus the Dragoon LB creates the head of Midgardsormr. It could be coincidental that these are the two dragons whose aether we have had direct contact with or it could be deliberate. I'm just looking forward to my one more spell tacked onto the end of my RDM combo like the last two expansions.
    I don't hate the Machinist lunchbox, I just wish it changed appearance along with the weapon we used so it isn't always the same bland look.
    The tablet Krile had looked like an image of a Mamool Ja talking to a crouching giant and the white plateau they flew off toward, according to the fanfest info, is supposed to be inhabited by giants.

    one of the main reasons i went back to paladin was because of the cover ability, yeah its gimmicky and very much designed for a different type of game, but it FEELS unique. i want more of that.
    and while im at it. i dont expect them to rebuild the entire combat system or design filosophy but give us some horizontal progression please.

    But didn't the final fight against Meteion specifically confirm Limit Breaks to be dynamis? I mean I'm not going to sit here and write an essay. The scene goes something along the lines of,
    She drops a planet on you.
    You LB3 to survive.
    She comments in disbelief over your use of dynamis.
    Remember that your sources come from an unreliable narrator, scientists that don't understand there's another power source for mortals to draw on. So they attribute everything to aether. As did the Ancients.
