    It casts spells and uses cards. Looks very casty to me.

    Not as much a fan of the "demon" looking race. Kind of a letdown to be honest.

    Looks just like Hyur or Elezen with horns.

    I will forever pronounce the new race's name as OORAH!

    To hell with all y'all.


    edit-

    Though I'm not a huge fan of the MASSIVE size difference between males and females.

    Ooooo. I like the Machinist.

    Wonder if they'll repurpose ARC/BRD gear for it, like they did PGL/MNK for RGE/NIN.

    Definitely playing Astrologian - will keep that and Scholar up to date. Machinist has my friend hyped and I'll probably have that as my dps job instead of Bard though I know full well I'll almost never be on it.

    Carry newbies through primals/coil turns. Luckily my FC does that all the time for friends & family anyway, but I also found my way into a couple chain runs via Party Finder/a relic Linkshell I'm in. Ended up with the Soldiery waaaaaay before getting all the drops >.<

    Astrologist looks aweeesoomme

    Assuming the trailer is their AF, I am very much a fan

    The cards remind me vaguly of corsairs in XI, which is only a good thing

    That class was really really neat, although functionally it can't be too similar to a healer spec.

    Dark Knight looks pretty cool, although I tend to prefer a more unrealistic two hander animation style over the weightier, realistic style they're going for with that.

    The difference between male and female Au Ra is ridiculous but I guess they look alright in general.

    The machinist animations are incredible.

    Machinist just looks right, Astrologian looks cool, and Darknight just looks....well damn. I was all set to be darknight gung-ho but that Machinist hits a sweet spot.

    I dont really care for the new race but I'll take the hair styles.

    Yeah I love the animations on the Machinist and the Astrologian is a great idea...and some of those Darknight animations...so hot.

    I don't love the male Au ra or whatever. The females look pretty cool, but the male horn designs just looks kind of dumb like the stupid bull beast from episode II or the hunting dogs from Predators.

    So the new race didn't turn out to be the Viera.

    However!

    Looks like SE is making sure those who wanted Bunny Ears get their wish!

    So, are the Au Ra the product of
    Shiva's indiscretions?

    I'll have to watch the Machinist video later since I'm on my phone right now. Did I read correctly that Machinist and Astrologian are both Jobs without Class requirements? Meaning there's no way to pre-level them? If so, that's interesting.

    Honestly at this point I don't think we really know what it means to not have a base class. Some have suggested ti means they'll start at lvl 50, but I think it's far more likely they are just trying to shift away from the problems associated with the Class/Job system and just simplify it.

    I think it would be a major misstep to just have the jobs unlocked at 50 especially in giving a nice injections of healers and tanks into the queues. On top of that having another healing class for the 15-30 queues in particular would be VERY useful (arcanist cannot queue as healers so only conjurer can DF from 15-30)

    Either way I'm curious to see what will be :)

    At this point I think we can safely conclude classes are on their way out one way or the other. Would not be surprised to see them overhauled straight out of the game by 4.0

    when you play as Machnist all text you type is automatically translated into Al Bhed. you can only talk normally by finding a bunch of translation books throughout the world.

    No, I think it's the other way around. Other players have to find the books so they can understand you.

    The new jobs look amazing, and I'll probably level them at some point, but the year and months I've put into my paladin are gonna keep me loyal. Like Coil demands diversity in its tanks, I don't want to be one of the legions of Dark Knights clamoring for a spot in progression.

    so I healed my way through the first 3 dungeons last night. (1st time playing a healer). Was pretty fun, and its actually nice to watch the fights. only a couple deaths. 1 was me dying because the tank was watching the keynote stream, and not realizing i had an add on me. One wipe in copperbell on the final boss, as they decided to ignore the adds.
    verdict- CONJ is a nice break from the queue hell of DPS.

    Oh, can someone explain why, in the slime fight in CB, i wasn't supposed to heal the tank all the way? some wierd mechanic of the fight?
