Final Fantasy XIV’s upcoming expansion Dawntrail just released a new benchmark trailer which displays some of the actions we will see in the near future. Here I discuss what we see and what they likely are. I can’t pronounce abilities worth crap, sorry.

No more magic swords with pld please
Pretty lights!
Hope it does not melt my computer
Sam and Reaper are in the same vein imo, with reaper getting an aoe equivalent to communio and communio being made single target, with samurai getting the same treatment for ogi namikiri
Hopefully they've added Shiva Leviathan and Ramuh to the Summoner kit. I'm hoping that lightning was from Ramuh
for pld, i think it is req upgrade into conal aoe like how they did with spirit within.
drk for me it very look like to be full normal combo upgrade as it is snuck in whm and sch part, it look to be stab(whm part we see stab) into cross and huge downward slash(the same time as sch use something look like to be aoe chain strategem).
mnk i think it is twinsnake's upgrade, and rpr is that aoe version of ogcd in shroud but changed to no longer be conal.
I'm down for the frog
Most of the skills looks like upgrade from skills, whe allready have. Only the drg und sage skill looks new. Or, for drg, is it a upgrade from "fang and claw".
Great analysis and slowed down clips. I feel like there's less than EW benchmark but interesting to dig into at the very least. Feels like a lot of traited upgrades again, which…. yeah, okay.
Thanks for showing these. Excited to see what these end up being in Dawntrail.
Warrior getting passage or arms = exactly the direction the game needs to stray from.
I am very confident that reaper skill is an upgrade or merge of the ogcds that we press during avatar mode
for dark knight, you can see the normal gcd animations with that effect in the background, and given what the effect looks like, I think that's a new effect of delirium
we get the job action trailer next anyways
Bard seriously could use an dot spreader after all these years.
scholar ability looks like Broil and Summoner's flare
That Summoner skill reminds me of the old Shadowflare skill. I wouldn't be shocked if they brought it back and changed what it actually did, it certainly appeals to my nostalgia if that's the case. 4:16
NINs "new" ability is definitely a trait for Hellfrog Medium. Looks cool but most likely wont see use outside of dungeons/adds if it's just a potency and animation upgrade. Still looks cool though
Where's my Fire V Yoshi P?
Man i was really hoping to see more for warrior and new stuff for mch, guess i’ll have to wait till the job action trailer.
as a pld main the new weaponskill seems incredibly boring i hope they got something else up they're sleeve
just the thing i was looking for
When's Frosty's media tour video?
PLD's is almost definitely just upgraded Requiescat with AoE splash ala Spirits Within to Expiation. That skill isn't activated by req; it's part of it, because current Req's animation is two movements: it's a raised sword to the sky to call lightning, then a downward chop that stops just a little above the ground and throws a ball of lightning at the target. Literally only difference between that and the benchmark is that the benchmark animation has the downward chop slam all the way to the ground with a cone that has lightning tendrils.
My thoughts on the BLM, it didnt have a normal cast time, which makes me think of Foul/Xenoglossy, but the thunder effects also lead me to think its a possible thunder upgrade specifically when you have a thundercloud proc
I like the new white mage skill "scatter flower petals." It looks like it could be an AOE buff since it seems to affect the nearby characters.
