DAWNTRAIL JOB ABILITIES! - Job Action Trailer Reaction 

Dawntrail: We've got tactical nukes.

My favorite thing was a friend of mine said Summoner should get a transformation mode, and Scholar said hold my beer lol

When the Black Mage leylines moved, I involuntarily let out such a scream. Almost all of them are incredible, but I'll leave it at that 😍

"Let's just give everyone Barret's Satellite Beam." "Even Dancer?" "Oh yes."

To be fair, we are level 100 and we have seen some shit. Nukes seem reasonable.

The Zenos style 3 samurai blades in the ground tho

For RDM, looks like Manafication no longer gives mana, instead makes the next 3 cost no mana. Probably changed to prevent feel-bad moments when you're above 50 mana and have to hold manafication

Mr Happy starting to look like he changed to Viper irl

Gunbreaker finally get a LIONHEART!!!!!!!!

Radiant Finale now has a Radiant Encore

With how doomer most of the hardcore players and streamers are, i really appreciate mrhappy's reactions

Mr. Happy got upgraded into Gigachad for Dawntrail.

Most of the new abilities and changes are looking very nice. Makes since with all the classes reaching Lv 100 they are all getting something over the top and flashy. Pictomancer and Viper are looking insanely fun based on what they showed and all the QoL changes look very nice. Also like all of the follow up abilties to the various buffs, making them more then just a one-and-done-for-2-minutes button in rotation. Also liking all the new abilities Summoner is getting to weave between their summons. From what I saw we are getting: -New Aethergauge ability - New combo ability for buff - Possible heal/shield after Solar Bahamut ends. All around lookin good and excited to see all them in full action in the media tour.

Lv. 100 >>> We all get nukes.

Happy making the anteater face in the thumbnail 🤣

Jesus. I know this has nothing to do with the video itself. But I've been a long time watcher but due to a lot of different reason I haven't been watching for a year or so. Man you''ve changed your look. You look great.

im a little pissed that Leviathan, Ramuh and Shiva weren't added to the SMN rotation. the new Bahamut was cool though

That login screen is great, until you wake up at 3am for servers up raiding and it flash bangs your ass.

BLM changes on paper seem so good. Including further discussion they had in the liveletter: 1) UI phase mana regen now depends on ice spells cast and not server ticks. It sounds like mana ticks will no longer be an issue for faster gcd's but I think it also removes the utility of slow fire 4 line (i.e. 4x fire 4 -> despair for 6200 mana + 3 hearts) 2) Leyline moving was said to only be doable once per leylines. Still a really good addition but it doesn't make leylines braindead like if it were spammable. I think this was the right call for implementing such an ability. 3) Single target flare could be a thing? It depends on the potency of the new move. Notably this will make quad flare even more ridiculous for dungeon pulls because it giving 3 charges per cast of flare means you get 2 of them and it obviously has an aoe component 4) THREE POLYGLOT STACKS BOYS WE CAN CAST XENOGLOSSY 5 FUCKING TIMES BACK TO BACK LETS FUCKING G-

My favorite thing about the new login screen is that, as opposed to the past two expansions, it doesn’t fucking scream at you as soon as it loads.

It seems like every job that had a damaging gap closer has lost it in exchange for a dash that doesn't do damage, so you can use it for uptime/style without worrying about losing damage during burst. I think I like that idea, actually...

I am glad you said Heavyarms when MCH pulled out those nukes! Yes I am here for it!!

Monk is omega brain again

You get a Nuke, and you get a Nuke, EVERYONE get's a NUKE!

Scholar has gone full 'White Mage but with a book' at this point.

Okay, so, before I actually watch the video: I haven't been by the channel in a while and, DAMN, DUDE! You're lookin' FINE. I'm glad you're doing well!

The Gunbreaker finisher is Lionheart, one of Squall's limit breaks from FF8

Bard song not needing a target and is now a buff such a good change

I have not been on this channel for a while but, Dang you are leveling up Mr. Happy. It's good to see you taking care of yourself

Skills look great! Banger music, and amazing looking zones. Can't wait for Dawntrail!

Damn, you're so good at these bro. I was watching another cc, won't mention who bc I don't like fault them, and it was like they had no idea what was happening. Partway through I thought, I wonder if happys vid is up yet. It was and you didn't disappoint, your eye for these is just unparalleled lol.

Picto animations look so good in this trailer, even better than in the reveal

Yooo that Blue Flame Viper went batshit crazy and I am HERE. FOR. IT.

Viper going nuts, like chill 😂😂😂

It feels so strange and wrong seeing a dragoon dashing to the enemy instead of jumping to it ~

Thx for the fast upload Haps, your reactions are on point and you're looking fantastic! As a big Gundam fan I appreciate the Heavyarms reference for Mch :') All in all, pleasantly pleased with the classes, visuals, tactical nuke finishers and all. Unfortunately it seems they took out timer management and optimal drift with my main Mnk after reading the slides live, but I'll make do with the new buffed gcds combo, since lately I'm enjoying Tekken and looks like new Mnk will feel more fighter-ish, maybe the loop will be more or less the same. Still, am curious how they'll work out the combo numbers so that the Dragon Kick rotation is discouraged, though I like that RoF / RoW unlock extra (ranged) attacks to use during burst, holding chakra overcap during BH, and being able to spend remaining chakras to buff SSS, going by the Live Letter. I'll probably continue to use the vfx -stuff- for all of them (once -stuff- compatibility is unbroken with the new expansion) since they actually have screen shake impact and feedback (which I feel vanilla FF's combat is lacking unless you're tank / melee), and I'd like the old Bootshine back albeit -stuff- to have giant spirit fists punching, which I swore is the direction the devs could've taken for "New Bootshine" instead of the Opo swipes :\ (Yes I get there's claw weapons and it resembles how Opo / monkeys attack but shhhhhh). Raptor Flaming Uppercut and Coeurl Hadouken + Elixir Field upgrade looking hella sick tho But where's Sam's Kaiten Smadge

Bro...they gave Gunbroken Renzokuken/Lionheart this is dope.

Just want to say your physical appearance has drastically improve after all that gym workout sessions. Good job on you! Keep it up!

As a Reaper main, I do enjoy having an additional tactical nuke alongside my already existing one.

They put so much work into this video that I had to stop looking at the background from how cool the scenes looked.

Moulinet combo* not reprise

They brought back the variety to ast cards, I’m so happy 😭

The ending made me laugh a lot ahah

the song that starts at the bard section didn't need to go so fucking hard

MCH: By starting with Flamethrower, and that it does not give heat, it showed that they ignored the fix most suggested by fans to make it worth using. Unless it gets a major buff, it'll fall out of rotation completely. On the other hand, missile pod filled with nukes.

6:59-7:03 "You get a Nuke! You get a Nuke! You get a Nuke! EVERYONE gets a Nuke!!" 😂 (Edit) 8:45 Either that, or Chris Yukine (MEGA DETH PARTY, much?). 😁 Also, who else expected Sage to get an All-Range Attack/Full Burst Mode move?

Wow im sticking with my same 5 classes and they looked awesone

im new to the game. is this update will only apply when you buy the new dawntrail expansion?

Red mage looks like they got a continuation to the melee combo. Manafication making the melee attacks cost mana looks good, but im wondering now if the single target combo is getting its cost reduced like moulinet looks like it did (down from 20 cost to 15)

Wish they added in Shiva and ramu(sp) on top of the other 3. The extra bahamut looked cool but doesn't look like anything else to make it look like a full summoner class

New red mage finisher lol

So AST looks like their draw gives them 3 cards and a lord/lady (unconfirmed, but it might be one each of solar, lunar, and astral) I theorize that the attack was a finisher for spending all cards OR for spending lord/lady I will continue playing AST if only for the meme of doing the most intense rotation for the least dps

Damn bro, you're looking good nowdays, congrats

Looks like NIN got a potential 4th seal on that last move. it shows up slightly after the other 3. starts with green, blue and pink, then adds an orange at the end of the animation.

I was most impressed with what all they did with ninja and monk, new gunbreaker Squall limit break combo is pretty cool too. As a black mage main, I instantly paused to soyface just upon seeing the new HUD elements not even a second in. All 6 elements of the black mage elemental wheel are fire, baby! People barely even have the time to talk about the now 3 slots of Polyglot! Viper has the most complex looking job gauges since black mage. Kudos to them refraining for the first time ever on adding yet another routine healer attack spell animation replacement, instead giving them ADDITIONAL attacks instead. Boldly refraining from a Communio follow-up too. Really gonna miss Plunge and Spineshatter Dive... And perhaps Huton as well. Notable absence of Earthly Star? So happy we got more job-flavored versions of Rampart, I was hoping/expecting that to happen eventually. And bard songs no longer need an attack target, like it always should've been! Glad they still have their DoTs Samurai's new Tenka Goken and Midare Setsugekka (the profuse ice ruins it for me) animations suck big time, and really the audacity to not just simply give people back the Kaiten they wanted... Yet they were fine going reflexively back and forth with Energy Drain so many times. Pictomancer's circular land AoE buff effect definitely looks like a holdover from attempted geomancer development, there's flowers growing within it and everything. Dancer and bard's new nuke animations I think are a bit odd for them, dancer's should have been a tornado made with 2 chakrams, why is there a third chakram floating like UFOs with a satellite laser blast? And bard being a conductor is odd because they play the instruments, not conduct them, but I guess we can work that in just like the flute, I suppose

MNK looks like the buff/debuff combo actions give gauge that the raw damage combo actions spend, probably to disincentivize Dragon Kick rotation. Won't affect the standard downtime rotation. I wonder if there's anything built-in to avoid overcapping, since as it stands, you generally fit more Twin Snakes than True Strikes into your rotation (just from timing). That Six-Sided Star after their chakra spender also spent a chakra, which I find odd. Perhaps it's a chakra dump that gives that fire ranged attack? Brotherhood makes the chakra gauge light up, which later gets spent on that wind attack.

GNBs WE GOT LIONHEART BABY!

Mannnnn I screamed when I saw Gunbreaker! I'm gonna channel my inner Squall and Lighting 🔥🔥 Let's go Lionheart! 🔥🔥

Finally added Lionheart LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

omg i LOVE the pictomancer animations

Paradox is instant cast even in Fire phase. Convert does refresh Astral Fire aswell with all ice stacks. New Fire spell(charged by arrows, FireIV gives one arrow, Flare gives 3 arrows) doesnt refresh Astral Fire. Looks like AoE. No mana cost. New Thunder visual(love it btw). Again looks like AoE, maybe they simplified thunders into one. Not sure. And ofc, ability to move Ley Lines to you. Rotation was B3, Thunder, Amplifier, B4, F3, LL, F4 x3, AM, moved LL to him, Paradox(in the last second, no signs of Swiftcast used), F4 x3, Despair, new spell, Convert, Xenoglossy, Tripplecast, Flare, Flare, new spell. Not huge changes. New spell is not really neccessary, but i wont complain. Cast seems pretty long tho. Even with pretty high spellspeed and ley lines its one of longest casts in that entire rotation. Since swiftcast will get cooldown reduced, it will be probably best to use it for it(but you can tripplecast after despair, then new spell, convert, flare, swiftcast, flare, new spell). Instacast Paradox and Convert refresh will make certainly life easier for blm. Ability to move Ley Lines make it easier to stay in 2min window with party, as you wont have to wait for oportunity given by boss.

Damn, is Mr. Happy cosplaying the new Warrior of Light? He looks good!

Pictomancer isn’t a job I feel would fit my WoL but I’m going to play and level it anyway; it looks great.

I was really worried about Pictomancer, but it looks like they exceed my expectations.

I thought it was crispy concords in the thumbnail for a split second 💀😂

i really wish red mage had like, anything else going on. Like new ogcds and finishers and such are "okay" but there's nothing to optimize beyond balancing mana and they made it easier not to overcap if you got too lucky (which is nice qol, sure but) I like that black mage is hard to master and has a lot of moving parts. Red mage is like, it plays itself apart from having to go in to melee range I guess?

Dude happy is having a middle age glow up he is looking kinda cuuute I haven't seen him in ages

I havent seen mr happy in a while and now he is a giga chad :o

6:53 what a cool new action for Reaper. I hope the hosts are able to talk about it.

They took out a jump for a dash...for the dragoon. The jump job.

Peep that 7.0 Happy tho. Sheeesh! Strong work brother!

Damn Viper background looks like Aht Urghan Whitegate

There's so much stuff to unpack. I hope they didn't add too many buttons, my hotbars are pretty packed already... My main MCH having a whole new combo scared me there, hope buttons change while in overdrive. I'm happy white mage is getting a dash, tho I hope is only during temperance, so you have a use case for it in dungeons. AST not having to deal with so many oGCDs removing redraw and astrodyne makes me glad, it's my least favorite healer due to weaving. Also, did I see dps combos for the healers? I need that. I hope some tank stuff gets reworked too, I'm tired of not having to heal WARs on dungeons because they get a invul every 25 seconds with nascent, that stuff is outright broken on pulls

Rdm evolution, just like how I rename my files. RDM_final RDM_final1 RDM_final_final RDM_final_final_new

The Astro played the 3 cards and then did what looked like an instant cast damage attack which might be their version of misery.

So PLD/WAR keeps their damage gap closures but DRK/GNB lose theirs?

Picto looks so cool.

PICTOMANCER LOOKS ABSOLUTELY INSANE 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥

When are you gonna post your 10 hour livestream I need to rewatch it?

Continuation isn’t Renzokuken in Japanese. The GNB limit break for PVP is tho.

Man, this is so tough- Every new expansion, and job rework, picking a job to go through the story with gets trickier.

Midare and goken always have a follow always has been, its called Tsubame-gaeshi

I love how EVERYONE who watches the Scholar part is confused.

Havent watched you in a while. You look so fucking handsome I had to look twice. Straight male btw. Also I think RDM finally got VerIce. Can’t wait to see VerWater in-game.

Epic! The gnb gets to use lionheart

Not too sure of the aesthetic with the sings for SCH. It should be fairy wings rather than angel wings. Butterfly ones or possibly even from Feo Ul ideally.

Let's hope ninja is back to being complicated and not braindead

I love that you can draw a full hand of cards now, but RIP our Astrodyne 😟

I think that the DRK combo is his normal combo upgraded

ever since i saw monk in the trailers i instantly knew...remember how early on Dark knight we had a deluge of edgy living dead macros? get ready for monk's hadouken crazyness

You look cute with your hair like that, I think you should keep it that way permanently.

All nukes all the time.

All I can say is that I'm a Scholar main, have been since ARR. But I might actually drop the job if it ships as they teased. Sage has been literally stealing their abilities since launch, and Scholar being given a Miasma(?) locked behind our only raid buff is a massive "fuck you" to our original job design. I guess I'm going to play AST until they manage to restore some kind of identity to Scholar. :/

Hella excited that my Red Mage has an AOE combo finisher. Can't wait for release!

Ain't nobody gonna talk about MONK did a Haduken

the Gunbreaker just got "Lionheart" LB from FF8

Did anyone notice for Reaper that Gibet and Gallows are upgraded? Am I crazy or do they look different?

haps weight loss changed so much lmao good for him

Pictomancer main letsss goooo im gonna boop the mobs with moogle poms and ⭐⭐⭐

i want their sound tracks so badly lol...
