Now I am going to post a vid and talk very openly. If you still haven't seen this..... hurry up its a blast, And also hit the back button now.






















Ok, here is a vid with the relevant stuff.


Ok at about a minute and twenty in we see the Masterrace battle. Big R swings in at 1:25, hitting the ground as Ilbert jumps back. Notice the floor crack and rocks pop up? Isn't that Circle Blade from FFXI? At 1:41 we see Ilbert run his fingers along the blade, charging it with red aether for the big knockback wave. Also of note for this video is the aura that keeps overtaking Raubahn, and the jumping strike Ilbert does twice. I also note both are using one-handed swords, new GLD/PLD skills? Now the next vid.


Ok, at 0:25 we see the Lala hold his staff high in the "my team mate is about to LB" pose and Yda preforms what looks like a really pretty version of Final Heaven from FFVII. The new Monk LB maybe?

So there was other stuff that caught my eye here and there but those I listed stood out. So add to, discuss, so on.

Yes, but I'm referring to the look. We were told that the 3rd Lv LBs will be getting an overhaul, giving each class its own look/effect. I'm putting money on that being the one for the Monk. Also if they become unique, maybe Monk will keep the name and everyone else will change. Just spit-balling really.

The finger on blade or the jump? The jump looks a bit like the Savage Blade from FFXI, but we already have that skill. The finger on blade sort of reminds me of the Rune Fencer as well as a bit of Sepheroth.

I thought there was a 1.0 NPC that does it, but I can't remember who. I thought it might have been Greinfarr using 1.0's version of Rage of Halone, but I just checked the video and it wasn't it. Will keep looking, but you could be on to something. Though at the same time... it could just be SE getting our hopes up like Y'shtola with the shield bubble from 1.0's Limsa opener that we never got. =/

I used to play NIN (before giving up because of the queues) and I know it uses Final Heaven as LB3, but so do MNK and DRG. I don't see your point.

Its the dps lb in general is it not? I am suggesting it will be changed as we saw Yda's imitation of Tifa's final lb in ffvii, also known as Final Heaven.
