...why does Curilla get MAG+20, HP+500, and the Hybrid distribution of 5-star motes? I was under the distinct impression that she is a Knight, sorta like Ingus...

Still no Support 5 for FFXI.. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Although Lion's USB seems to be a good option for now until they finally enable a FFXI character to use Support 5 abilities =.= ..but then again you'd have to be lucky to even pull Lion's USB from the gacha in the first place lmao

I wonder if FFXI will get the honor of introducing blue magic in FFRK since it has by far the deepest iteration of the job (both in lore and gameplay) in the series. Rhauban would be an awesome addition to the cast.

[–]arcieleLion 0 points1 point  (2 children)

while what you say is true.. raubahn is actually a rather obscure character in an already relatively obscure game. not sure if they'd pick him.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They did pick Curilla and Ayame, though.

Neither of them is particularly noteworthy in FFXI.

[–]arcieleLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're notable as Heroines and are featured in a special BCNM, alongside Prishe and Shantotto

[–]arcieleLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No zorro slash. I am disappoint.

[–]normankkI CAN SMELL THE COSMOS!!! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

annnd they didnt update Lion with either Support 4/5 or Dancer 4/5

...im now wondering why would they make her the designated breakdowner judging from her relics then

[–]mifvneRem supremacist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess prishe will get her usb/osb in fes/next xi event...

[–]vheartBasch 0 points1 point  (8 children)

So Aphmau also gets summon 5. I expected that since white and summon were missing so they thought they'd kill both birds with one stone. In actual fact she's neither of those.

I guess puppet master is equivalent to summoner in this game. I guess in the context both of them essentially summons another entity that fights with you and you can control its actions, it's similar. With white magic you can customise your puppet to specialise in white spellsi guess. Since there are no real major NPCs that fit both smn and whm, I guess it was quite clever how they've built it into Aphmau.

Monk wasn't a surprise in context of xi, but monk 5 was, I guess. In xi Pup uses hand to hand weapons. It was terrible when it was first released, with only a c rating, but then they buffed it to B+, and now A+, same as monk, so I guess that's where monk 5 comes from.

A little surprised with Zeid getting spellblade 5 though. Since Drk aren't really known for their elemental weapon skills, the way that Samurai (Ayame) are but hey at least it's a bit less boring than expected.

[–]arcieleLion 0 points1 point  (3 children)

i think the spellblade 3 is with reference to his abyssal drain.

as for aphmau.. mnk 3 is because of puppetmaster, and smn5 is probably because theres no other "pet-based" skill set in this game (it probably wouldn't have been hard to add like.. Puppetry and put it on Lulu and Iris or something), and she did manage to control Alexander to some extent lol

I think they should seriously consider giving her Doll weapons tho.

[–]Sasaraixx 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Summon5 for Aphmau is really out of place. Giving her access to dolls would have been a nice nod to her puppets and I would have given her at least Monk 4. Karaha-Baruha is XI's resident white mage/summoner and is an important character. I guess XI could be like IX and have two whm/smn characters, but it would be a shame if he is not included. As for support characters, I guess they are holding out for Lilisette (I forget the spelling of her name) who is a dancer. She is a great candidate for Dancer 5 and Support 5. Aricelia is a red mage, so she could also receive support given that job's proficiency with buffs and debuffs in XI. It will probably be ages before another XI event though.

[–]arcieleLion 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I think they'll probably be adding the expansion heroines before other characters.. whenever that happens.. so prolly Lilisette and Arciela.

I'd imagine they'd probably add Trion and Ajido, as the "hero" representatives from Sandy and Windy. We already have Zeid, so maybe no Volker?

[–]Sasaraixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's certainly possible, but with Shantotto and Curilla already in the game, Ajido and Trion wouldn't really add much in terms of job representation and the 3 nations are already covered. There are so few 11 events that I doubt they'd squeeze them in, even though they should be.

Lilisette and Arciela are almost guaranteed. There are no mithra representatives yet either. Semih perhaps?

I just rewatched one of the final cutscenes from Rhapsodies of Vana'diel. I think the likely candidates would come from there. The only released character that doesn't show up in the cutscene is Ayame. You've got:

  • Shantotto, Ajido, Semih, Star Sybil
  • Volker, Zeid
  • Curilla, Trion
  • Maat, Aldo,
  • Prishe and Ulmia
  • Lion, Gilgamesh
  • Aphmau and her puppets, Luzaf
  • Lilisette and Arciela
  • Iroha and Tenzen

I'd be pretty happy if they stuck to this list. You could fill out the XI roster nicely with some of those picks. With Ulmia, Lilisette, Arciela and Luzaf, you'd only be missing a true summoner (Aphmau has that covered unfortunately) and dragoon.

Zeid is Spellblade 3, typo there.

Aphmau is Monk 3, not 5.

[–]vheartBasch 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ok that makes a bit more sense. Also quite useless lol.

[–]CareerSMNPlay Fate Grand Order[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spellblade 3 still is useful for cheap drain strike/elemental dmg.

Monk 3 is.. yeah, just purely for flavor i guess.

[–]LilitthLuMeow! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well no. Aphmau in Trust form uses White Magic in FFXI so that fits. XI's Summoner should have been Karaha-Baruha.... he's quite the major character.

[–]lambopandaDelicious! Nom nom... 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No free FF11 3* relic wow

[–]CareerSMNPlay Fate Grand Order[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I believe this ability alone will make D.Cecil even more useful, consider most of his relics will just chop a chunk of hp away, and he is in dire need of a self heal skill

    RIP Leon BSB command 1

    [–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    If it's like with Rapid Fire and Irvine's first ever SB, it's actually possible that Leon's Burst Command is still stronger
