Alpha Manual details uncovered! Gameinformer has the secrets!

Re: Alpha Manual details uncovered! Gameinformer has the secrets!

Yes, but what if you completely run out of mp, and cant make it back to a crystal because the "Aspir" (For a lack of better words), abilities get resisted. There has to be another way to restore it so you don't have to leave the area you are fighting through just to get to the crystal.

Both classes get Auto-refresh like abilities where they can increase their MP by using said ability. Both classes also get non-MP based attacks and abilities they can use instead of spending MP on spells. Thaumaturge even has four ways to recover MP, Onus of Might (Chant in tongues, evoking the power to recover MP), Aspir (Transfers MP from enemies within an area of effect to you), Siphon MP (Transfer MP from the target to you), and Stygian Spikes (Armors you with umbral spikes, absorbing the MP of attacking enemies). Conjurer only seems to get one (Tranquility - Suppress your sense and gaze in ward, evoking the power to recover MP) but chances are, they could get access to Thaumaturge abilities and spells to sub as well.

They confirmed sub-classes?

Not XI like sub-jobs, but they've said repeatedly that players could gain access to abilities and spells from other classes they've leveled while on a different class somehow. Meaning if you level Gladiator and Conjurer, you could somehow gain spells and such from Conjurer while playing as your Gladiator. Or at least that's my understanding of the system.

It would be interesting to see what "sub-class" abilities you choose, seeing as you can change your main class on the fly so easily.

I'm sad there's no THF. -.- Oh well, Archer's abilities sound pretty cool. Probably do that, or Lancer.

So do the pugs. They have an ability that increases their damage if they attack from behind. So Pugs are a bit like thieves.

I know I know, but I like Daggers.

There's definitely going to be more weapons and more classes added in time. Hell, there's already evidence of guns existing in this game so I don't think it will be too long before we get access to them.

I believe all classes have some variety of sneak attack

Some kind of passive ability where if you attack any unaware opponent you get a pre-emptive strike. Enemies can do this you you however, so beware!!!!1!

Correct me if i'm wrong, I remember reading it somewhere.

They all have THAT, preemptive strike. But not the ability that increases the damage if you attack the foe from behind.
