  1. Something I noticed in the trailer. The thing we all thought was the hint to Green Mage in the 6.5 MSQ, Krile is wearing as an earring in the trailer. Could this be an Easter egg for the Dawntrail pre order experience boost earring maybe?

  2. Personally I actually enjoy the fact that Viper is a lil less "flashy" than some of the other jobs. I looove the rogue aesthetic and part of that love comes from the idea of them being a lil more down to earth and catering to the stealth.
    At first I was a little put off by the Splatoon n bright Fall Guys-like colors for Pictomancer, but I'm warmed up to it and am still excited for how it will play regardless! It also makes room for plenty of fun character head canon and boy…the memes…memes abound…and as an artist myself I definitely will be adding to that pile LOL

  3. As a rogue at heart ninja main I look forward to ninja2 the most. But pictomancer also looks like a lot of fun and it will probably be a good job for chill content. I disagree with the people thinking it's too cartoony, a goofy game like FFXIV needs a goofy job as well and I'm glad they went for this aesthetic. 🙂

  4. To me, pictomancer looks like absolute garbage, I'm so disappointed. Spell animations look just so out of place it's crazy. I'm glad I'm playing on pc and can replace any animations I want.

  5. I have a theory.. The picture they drawn was a dark themed night sky and afterwards they used a black magic spell basically ice so my theory is the painting you do would basically switch to light magic or dark magic

  6. Kind of disappointed about Pictomancer. just by what we have so far it feels like it kind of leans into what smn and blumage is. the whole panting esthetic is unique but i feel like they kind of go with the whole invoking creatures abilities abit 2 much now, and was hoping for a more unique class not the same thing but with a 3rd coat of paint.

  7. I am a huge fan of Viper, my favourite type of jobs are the more toned down and grounded ones where they can kind of be whatever you make it with your glams and fantasy, a Reaper for example can't really be anything else other than a Reaper because of the ultra specific weapon and skill effects and animations.

  8. Something very important to mention about Viper: The first GCD they do in the job trailer applies some sort of debuff. Obviously we can't tell what it is, but we can see the detriment visually appear on the morbol. So they likely have some sort of DoT to maintain or another debuff similar to Reaper perhaps? All speculation but they for sure have a debuff to apply on a GCD

  9. As someone who has sadly not been able to play for some time. I still need to finish Stormblood, and get to the first healer class that interested me (Sage). That and Phantasia into a Hrothgar lady from my bun

  10. I hope modders aren't going to use the Pictomancer to argue that it would be against freedom of creativity to not allow to mod the paint and art created by the pictomancer…

  11. i assume Viper'sGauge is gonna work somewhat like PLD'sGauge (autoattacks give you +5gauge). 2sword mode will be weaker, but a much faster attackrate & the ONEsword will be stronger, but slower.
    Thus use 2swords for gauge-generation && ONEsword for burst.

  12. Since I'm a melee person, viper will probably realistically be what I play if I bring it into my static/change my main, but aesthetically I'm a lottt more excited about pictomancer! Such a unique & creative looking job!

  13. I'm honestly super excited for picto. This was the first expansion that I just didn't play caster since they deleted my beloved smn job. BLM is a little too hard for me and I HATE rdm so I'm been left to abandon my fav role for rpr. With picto I'm praying it's going to be something between rdm/smn and BLM in terms of both damage and difficulty. Where BLM I find way too hard and smn/rdm being way to easy or just boring to play.
