Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

ARGH lol i didn't say i am not sure, but NO blue mage, something cooler, something "kicker" than a blue mage. And then again, i hope they will be REALLY able to copy EVERYTHING from the enemies (of course, the copying skill will go up with the level, i don't pretend to see a lvl 5 bem (blue mage, blm is already black mage lol) copying impact roar from a giant lol

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

UGH lol pirate is not, was not, and will not be a job. And a pirate would be very similar to a thief anyway.

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

Lot of discussion of job possibilities before and the most possible I've heard and think to be possible were Blue Mage (not Gun Mage because it's essentially this), Mime, Calculator (Some characters from CoP opens this potential), Dancer, Geomancer, and there was one more I heard (I'm not talking Chocobo Knight either).

Blue Mage I did feel to be kind of a likely one. Also if you know the Blue Mages from the previous FFs they couldn't learn every single monster abilities (I don't remember ever learning a Tonberries abilities). The Blue Mages of past still used MP to do an ability they learned so they still seem to fit the Mage class, I'd say they be another similarity to BLM.

Don't forget also some mobs have AoE stun abilities too, can see that a potential for Blue Mage but then that is a pretty strong ability, yet again they do show an AoE slow ability being used by a Blue Mage. If I recall that mob ability that does some nice AoE healing is on the game too, forget it's name think it was "Healing Winds" or something like that.

Seeing though that they dressed the Blue Mage in the turban like head piece and all it makes me wonder about the potential of being a Mime, the classic Mime image was more of that Arabian or Jipsy like look. As far the other jobs I mentioned I'm not sure about them either. Geomancer I'm still either way with, it seems possible and fits the old posts of the new jobs playing like none have before. Just seems a little odd to be expanding the mage classes with any more then 1 when they are well aware of the mage class being a bit over powered as it stands. Either they are planning something quite severe to do the Mages or just not thinking straight on it if they do add more mages.

Be intresting to see what else comes about, as a just thought potential Blue Mage and Mime actually be merged a bit on here. Since the two are fairly similar just one mimiced the enemy and one mimiced the other characters, then it also gives more sense to them taking the arabian like look for the Blue Mage.

I wonder if we'll be able to sub Warrior to the Blue Mage, and what weapons does it us? They didn't equip them with weapons, which I'm guessing is their way to not telling us if it's either a caster type job or melee type.

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

rumour has it that its not a blue mage, but a geomancer instead that we see on that movie

it is supposed to use natural shields to defend himself so ive read, the passive abilites are things like ice-spikes on snow weather, stoneskin on earth weather (temporary? o_O, 1 time cast? this sounds like overpowered..)

rumours rumours..

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

it is blue mage to those non believers out there... just a quick fyi..



edit: if you want me to explain I can, but its pretty much common sense ..

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

Unfortunately, it does not seem like Blue Mages will be doing much Hand-to-Hand combat, from the looks of their AF. In earlier games, they sported armor, capes, and swords.

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

it takes mp to use their learned abilities I believe it said, so yeah.. if that doesn't get you then maybe the MAGE in their name will...

Well if it's going along the similarities of like ice spikes, then the passive stoneskin abilitiy would probably be something like -10% damage or -20% damage (Slap on a Earth Staff with it and even if they only wear the weak gear the -% damage probably would make them good as a tank then if that's the case).

Re: The Official Blue Mage thread (and by extension Aht Urgan)

From a quick concept idea, it looks as if a blue mage would be like a summoner with all the abilites in himself rather than a pet. A sort of combo buffer/enfeebler/DD. Currently smn is a semi-buffer, semi-DD, and not so good enfeebler. Rdm is a good enfeebler, semi-buffer, and not so good DD. Brd is a good buffer, semi-enfeebler, and not a DD. Whm is a good buffer, a semi-enfeebler, and not so good DD.

We have enough buffing jobs, not enough magic damage jobs (blm, maybe smn and rdm in a pinch), and just some 2 enfeebling jobs that really matter (rdm and brd). So by my obvious process of deduction, I'm guessing a blue would be a good DD, semi-enfeebler, and not so good buffer.

Yeah, dahlmels use it.

Enemy skill materia from ff7 (been playing it lately). Big Guard for the win! I'm sure a spell that cast protectra, shellra, and hastega wouldnt be overpowered at all

Well even though you are joking considering that SMN/WHM can do that same effect but also add on blinkga and stoneskinga, it probably isn't as overpowered as you think.

BAD Translation....so sue me ;P

The corporation ƒXƒNƒEƒFƒA * ƒGƒjƒbƒNƒX exhibits Xbox360 edition " ƒtƒ@ƒCƒiƒ‹ƒtƒ@ƒ“ƒ^ƒW[ cXi " in the Microsoft booth, to becomes the extended disk of 3 flat knots which follow " the spell of the ƒvƒƒ}ƒVƒA ", " secret treasure of the ƒAƒgƒ‹ƒKƒ“ (the English inscription: The Treasures of Aht Urhgan)" it announced formally. The intention of looking at the workmanship of up-to-date version of Xbox360 edition, in Xbox360 edition for the release and Tokyo game Shaw participant of the extended disk it became the delightful ƒTƒvƒ‰ƒCƒY. As for the information which is open it is not many, but contents " of secret treasure of the ƒAƒgƒ‹ƒKƒ“ " will be introduced inside the range which is understood.



This time, the information which is released remains in promotion image and the demonstration by the FF11 staff. To tell the truth because the information that was not notiified in advance, " secret treasure of the ƒAƒgƒ‹ƒKƒ“ " is released with Tokyo game Shaw, we knew for the first time at the meeting place, the surprise was large.



The promotion movie was length about of only 1 minute, but they were very dense contents. While interweaving semantic deeply message in the first half, those where from FF11 main part " G Ra To's illusion ", you look back at the name scene to " of spell of the ƒvƒƒ}ƒVƒA " in the digest, several seconds show the new area each of total four at the latter half.



Contents of the new area, the enormous ghost boat, make the ƒ{ƒ„[ƒ_ tree remember the dim swamp land band area, grassy plain area, and makes new venture forebode new route where the tinted autumn leaves are beautiful. The rampart of the magnificient castle and constructive ones of the dome type which makes the building of the Islamic sphere closely resembling telephoto can do with the scene of new route, in the quay of far side of the boat, –c increase dream largely. It is unclear, but this much to store to the existing world without the excessiveness, the air does the large-scale cultural sphere whether these new areas being " somewhere " of the ƒ”ƒ@ƒi * D Lu world whether already it is not to remain on only reverse side of the world map.



Of the movie FF user long-awaited new job " blue demon Taoist ", appears lastly with the dressing up of the Islamic sphere wind. While the barrel barrel uniqueness attack " spider web " of the spider seems to use coming skill, the fume expanding the both hands, you could verify also the scene which spits " the breath of the flame " of the ƒ}ƒ“ƒeƒBƒRƒA excitingly.



When several it supplements concerning the blue demon Taoist, as for the blue demon Taoist never it is not the main stream, but if it is said with the job which the FF series adapts, " list 10 jobs " be sure to be loved in the FF fan the among those possessing as the FF job whose impact of the extent which enters is strong.



As for the feature, the ability " blue magic " which embodies name. At the time " of learning " use by the fact that skill of the enemy of specification is received, that skill you acquire, consuming the MP as a " blue magic, " use you can. There being also a skill which quite is effective in, it is the job which it masters and in play it cannot miss. By the way, strength of the job which is basic command of the FF11 is measured, " you inspect " and, animal errand " seeing and you put on airs ", originally it is ability of the blue demon Taoist.



Simply, no description above you know completely whether with past example, it becomes the job where the blue demon Taoist of the FF11 had what ability. You say those say at present time it may, while having the MP, probably become job of defense positioning with about the estimate which is close to wish, the method of acquiring the skill of the in the first place enemy " learning " being how at refuse and others present stage is not certain.



In any case, the race of the enemy, specific skill, abundance of specific effect is one of strength of the FF11, that kind " it opens " to the user, the attempt which offers the new pleasure with the existing data, it thinks it is wise thought. Simply, level system, it is wrong to become the treatment whose blue magic of the blue demon Taoist with the FF11 which spreads the support job system is special and it is improbable, to open which skill of some race, whether no level, it makes consumption MP several, you probably can call highlight scene of the arm of development side.



Well, with the Microsoft FF11 corner, a little it could ask story to the Hanyu rice field person of the advertisement producer. Basically information above the movie is not to be able to put out,, but with " secret treasure of the ƒAƒgƒ‹ƒKƒ“ ", the director from Kawamoto Noboru Akira " of the spell director of the ƒvƒƒ}ƒVƒA ", in Tomokazu Ogawa of the map planner has become modification.



As contents, new job, the new area, and the new story and the setting up et cetera which in order to drive the story is new, with you say. " We cannot answer the number of new jobs, ", concerning whether or not plural " how probably will be, it could combine " and with it was forward reply. Becoming matter of concern, development method of the story which is the source of charm of the FF11. FF11 main part and with " G Ra To illusion ", from the level 1 column level targetting up to 75 although approach of correct attack method, with " spell of the ƒvƒƒ}ƒVƒA " the production aspect is strengthened the level restriction area large number was introduced, severe game balance gathered for and against both theory.



Whether this time, by the fact that the director transfers to Ogawa, the generally known " mission " and the way " of QUEST " how becomes, it is unknown, the fact that it becomes the completely new approach where, but also also G Ra To's illusion " " " spell of the ƒvƒƒ}ƒVƒA " differs seems that you do not make a mistake. As for the information which we can convey at present time this. In addition as soon as new information to reach, we would like us to convey as a follow-up story.
