Yet to watch, but this is either going to make me finally pick up Ninja… or make me very, very glad I never did.
Ninja….no other job calls to me quite like Ninja
Started playing in SB and tried Monk, Red Mage, and then Gunbreaker. All felt good, but not great. Then came Ninja.
The fast paced and punishing Mudra, hyper mobility, and a small but impactful ranged kit to boot had me at hello. The more I learned and unlocked, the more I was forced to change my hot bars to adapt to this new language. The language of love.
This job will be my FF14 identity here and forever more
Appreciate you doin this video Happy. Been waiting a while for it
I will never forget how people would single target Doton off CD because they thought it was better than Raiton for DPS.
I feel like I'm gonna cry if you ever do a SAM retrospective. I don't wanna be reminded that I can't use Kaiten again. 😭
Hide was kinda clutch in Castrum Meridianum, as it allowed Ninjas to avoid the mobs hanging out on the oil rig (?) just before the first gate to get into the Castrum's base proper. This let your group skip, if I'm not mistaken, three packs of mobs (assuming the Ninja didn't fail and pull a mob when coming out of Hide to interact with the pipes to blow them up).
Ninja is the best! I haven't played super long, but I've always been a Ninja/Rouge main. It is also really funny, and kind of weird cause people still don't understand ninja that well. I'm no pro, but I see people do some really questionable stuff alot.
prob my least played melee, always felt kind of boring to me
Personally, I hope the next DPS we get will use Scouting Gear, so we had another job that uses the set just like Reaper now uses Maiming alongside Dragoon.
Amusingly perhaps, I actually hope this job will be ranged, like some sort of sniper type class. I would enjoy having a gear set that crosses between roles, and Ninja already uses aiming accessories.
Ninja my beloved but also the job with the second heighest disperity bettwen basic knoweldge and endgame knoweldge(second only to BLM in my opinion.)
The Ninja greifeing is still a thing I see CONSTANTLY. bettwen single target doton now long after it's usefulness is gone. To Ninjas that don't know how to use Suiton or how to prepull it's a genuenly difficult job to get a hold of, and that's just like figuring how the job works, but at the same time.
IT'S THE SINGLE COOLEST JOB IN THE GAME. bettwen it's general utility with mug to it's ranged utility allowing for it to act like a proxy range dps if absouletly neccisary to how it interacts with other jobs with buffs to the fact that it now and forever will always be METTTAHHHHH(meta is a lie).
Ninja is love, Ninja is life
Oh god… Old Raiju. What the hell were they thinking. Two forced GCD animation-locked gapclosers when ONE OF THE TWO EXTREME TRIALS GAVE YOU BIND.
And you only had 15 SECONDS to spend every stack of forked raiju, and spending raijus didnt refresh the timer!!! So if you had 3 stacks to spend it'd take about 11 seconds to spend them all (ON A 15 SECOND TIMER!)
Made me switch to MNK for the start of the expac. Absolute NIGHTMARE.
1:02:54 Also, it just means you don't need to burn a Mudra after res to get Huton rolling again
I’m a warrior main and even I love ninja
They separated the Raijus by the time Asphodelos Savage came out, IIRC. Right at 6.0, it was still a combo
I like the whole job retrospections!!
A couple things regarding phantom kama. They removed the costing 1 bunshin stack, probs cause it just complicated it for no reason. It was also slightly nerfed by prepull doton being removed when they changed raijus (before that it would trigger the doton proc in the opener). I didnt play alot of ninja at ew release, but I remember seeing the dmg was awful. You also couldnt fit all the raijus into trick which made it feel bad to just play. I took it one time into first ex and said nope until the raiju change where they also brought the dmg up to par. I like how it feels atm.
hot take; i liked ninja when my mudras was oGCD
I thing I think you forgot to mention was square tweaking the way mudras worked throughout the early life of the job. like at some point they made mudras work smoother as OGC skills because upon release weaving 3 button Mudras was “clunky” it was like a little delay after each mudras and unless you had really good ping it was actually somewhat difficult to weave your mudras in-between. Then like I said there was a patch at some point they finally made them work smooth like we know them today.
finally you did ninja the one ive been truly waiting for
I don't know if this changed from ARR, but I've had friends who mistakenly picked a non-Limsa class and actually walked from their starting location (I think it was from Gridania) just so they could do Rogue.
Ninky Minjaj
how they added rog/nin to base game in a later patch, i'd like the devs to do this with a new healer. Instead we're bottlenecked into either picking cnj or stuck being a magic dps for first 30 levels as acn until sch. A new healer now would be a mistake in balance being a 5th healer ugh, but image if Sage was this for ARR many years ago instead.
If you see “Lulo Abe” I don’t know what I’m doing……” kidding, I’m doing my best 😅
If anyone can give me some insight in this old ninja question. When I was lvl 60 ninja back in the day, I would always use duality with dream within a dream. Cause when I was reading it, to me it sounded like it would double all hits in that single skill use. So in my mind I thought I would be hitting for 6 hits for 600 potency. I’m guessing that is wrong but if someone could brake it down for me I would appreciate it.
I still wish you could be an "evade tank" with Ninja in a pinch, similar to how RDM can be a pseudo healer
Pls samurai Video.
Used to love ninja in ARR, dropped it in HW and niw loving it again in EW especially doing raids and ultimates
The job that made me fall in love with this game, the combos and the fast pacing make it so fun and challenge your improvisation to use the right ninjutsu at the right time. And the cool weapons and armor sets 😍
Very fondly remembering the campaign against STDs (Single Target Dotons)
