Garuda Prime O.o

Hey thanks for that link...just found out Sylphs are in game too and the huge dragon in that CGI intro is Midgardsormr =o but hes already dead his corpse and the ship are part of a landscape now

A look at the battle itself!

Well that video was OBVIOUSLY staged to fail... They had a WAR but was making a PLD tank? Madness!

That music totally reminds me of something from Castlevania though. :o

You saw dem Predator claws >.>

more like rape claws. She even makes copies of herself O.o BLINK GAIZ

She also appears to tp pretty fast. I wonder what those things she summons on the ground are.

lolwut why would ppl be making war tank already over pld that sounds too FFXI and i don't think Yoshida will let that happen >.>

Paladin blows.

Low HP. Not enough hate-catching abilities.

Paladin tanks nothing of value in this game.

Its the same as XI SE can't design tank jobs, they couldn't get it right in XI they won't get it right in XIV.

People need to stop getting their hopes up for a proper tank job.

Even at 75 other jobs tanked better than PLD.

Altho if we are counting WAR then I guess they finally succeeded in creating a proper Tank Class.

I'd LOVE for PLD to be the main tanking job in this game, but they just don't have enough hate keeping abilities. I mean, even Cover is useless unless the target of Cover is within 8yalms of ya. WAR's Collusion should have been given to PLD, imo. But yeah, they have low HP. I'm praying that Yoshida sees this and fixes it before he turns into another SAM ONRY Tanaka. D: (Which I would not wish on ANYONE!)

Well the sword WSs look badass in 14 that gave me hopes that PLD was able to keep hate with pure dmg @.@ guess i was wrong :/
Edit: on the main topic tho Garuda looks brutal XD shes gonna mop the floor w/ ppl wearing high heels

uh oh! D:

l2walkinheels

Seriously, there is absolutely no reason that WAR should have so much more hp than PLD. Who even let that through in the first place?

Hiding behind rocks is the key!

The same person that thought giving PLD a -HP trait was a good idea obviously.

she looks really hard to defeat.. but ifrit is a pain too

The rocks that get blown away?

Have you seen the ***people have been wanting rdm as in 14?

that video makes me wish i had 14 and that i had a way to play it so i could do this fight it looks so much fun.

Yea I forced myself to read part of the RDM Melee forum, honestly as much as I loved my Pimp hat in XI there isnt any room for RDM in XIV. A job that can do everything (Jack of all Trades, Master of None) but is the best at nothing has no room in a party slot.

Edit:

I never understood peoples want to melee on RDM in XI, they whined for years about wanting to be a Melee Mage. SE gave us BLU which pretty much solved that issue. But they wanted to keep Melee'ing in their 5/5 RDM AF with Joytoys instead.

People will always find ***to whine over though x:

Would it have no room if they gave it all (or some) of the old THM debuffs? How about shock spikes? Haste? With the ability to deal some DD?

I didn't read any of those forums but there is plenty of room for RDM in this game if they do it right. Not that I am particularly confident that they would.

Yeah i can't see RDM existing in the 14 world no room for in between jobs half this half that ...there is no even sub jobs so..ppl need to come up with better unique jobs as a whole.
Edit: Garuda at least has nice *** lol can't wait to see shiva i hope they make her as Hawt as in FFX not the FFXI one

I'd settle for something akin to this:

Well from what I can gather, People from the official forums have been insisting that RDM should be either:
a). "Magic fencer"
or
b). A hybrid job with the spells of blm and whm.

Both redundant roles in ffxiv, reasons being, conjurer and thaumaturge (the base classes) can both share their respective spells with the exception of Blizzard on Conjurer and none of the higher tier spells.

I don't know what the hell a Magic fencer is; but god no- just give us blue mage if it comes to that.

The only possible role I can see for RDM in ffxiv is as you said- give it thms old debuffs, Bio, Dia, Paralyze, Slow and the like- Only problem being is monster resist rates and how fast they build them; causing another reason for RDM's redundancy.

I'd like to see it as much as the next person, but there isn't anything they can do with it or anything that justifies it at this stage of the game.

Summoner is confirmed and Yoshida gave hints in his 2nd interview they would add jobs like NIN if enough ppl ask for it also he gave a hint about MagikTech? like we gonna be able to fight controlling machines so that might be a job for the future i'm not experienced in all the jobs of FF history to come up with a unique good job for 14 that we didn't see in FFXI
Edit: Though i'm all up for job mixing like they did with RNG+BRD that was original and cool

Summoner sounds like it's going to be fun; I don't however like the way they're going to implement primals for summoner.

I expect alot of ero work from the JP fans lol

LOL who wouldn't ...but who is she? >.>
Edit: I wonder if that's Garuda's voice that says "Now fall" if so she sounds quite Sexy :D

I'm almost positive that two f-line characters are "bu and pu", respectively, but the blurriness made romanization a bit difficult. Also... "Plistery Plume"/"Blistery Broom" does NOT make sense.


Things that you probably should not walk on.

Nvm I take that back. I guess they're like ifrit's nails. Nowhere in the chatlog in the video do the "Plumes" cause damage. Everyone attacks them though.

Shiva sisters or gtfo.
