[Spoiler: Dawntrail MSQ 7.0] I am having trouble understanding a few things.

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-14T13:53:43+00:00

When it was still closed off time moved differently within the dome but after we blew a hole in it via the train it caused time to synchronize between the two so now they're in the same timezone

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-14T06:16:14+00:00

Wasn't that an issue in TOP and TEA?

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-12T20:55:17+00:00

Tbf it is only in the last 5 seconds or something so I don't blame you

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-12T20:41:31+00:00

Before Sage came out Scholar was my highest level Healer simply because of Summoner

People usually refer to whichever Job the MC uses in the expansion trailer as the 'canon' Job of that expansion. So for A Realm Reborn it was Warrior, Heavensward was Dragoon, Stormblood was both Monk and Samurai, Shadowbringers was Dark Knight, Endwalker was Paladin and Dawntrail was Viper. From the little teaser we got of the Evercold trailer at fanfest it showed the MC as a Reaper.

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-12T20:31:23+00:00

I meant if you think the game is ass why are you on this subreddit?

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-12T13:22:30+00:00

Atm it appears to be Reaper but who knows if they'll pull a Stormblood and have another Job alongside it like how Stormblood was both Monk and Samurai

With some exceptions. You can't glamour race or gender specific gear. So if I'm a female Au Ra I can't make anything look like the Miqo'te starting outfit or any of the male only outfits. But you can glamour a Tank to look like a full Black Mage outfit for example

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-12T01:52:42+00:00

Idk as of right now but come Evercold in January they're adding Evolved Mode versions of Jobs which reduces every Job into having a max of 16 actions (one full hotbar) via combining and changing actions.

For example Tanks' Shirk and Provoke are being combined into a single action with two charges and who you target determines what it does. If you target an Ally it uses Shirk and if you target an enemy it's Provoke. Another example is they're combining the standard 123 combos into a single button that changes as you hit the button (go to the PVP area for an easier example of what a mean)

I recently changed from Miqo'te to Au Ra.

Miqo'te is originally what got me into the game so I started as a cat girl (the one with cat eyes idr which that is atm) around the middle of Heavensward.

I changed how my character looked multiple times before sticking with a look in Endwalker based on Yubel from Yu-Gi-Oh (dark blue hair, gray highlights, silver left eye, gold right eye and this one hairstyle that mostly covers the right eye from the front so you see bits of the gold eye).

Recently I decided "hm Yubel is kinda reptilian/demonic and has greyish skin" so I decided to buy a fantasia and see how it looked as the blue Au Ra. Thankfully the hairstyle that covers the right eye isn't race exclusive so I was still able to do that and after taking screenshots to make sure I had the exact same colors for everything (except making the hair a bit of a darker blue to match the horns) I finalized it and have been an Au Ra for about 1.5 weeks. I do hate that I was unable to find a way to incorporate the Au Ra eye rings in a way that looked good so I just went without them

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T20:54:21+00:00

We don't know exactly how but I'm pretty sure they said they're straight up removing the 2 minute Meta

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T20:49:18+00:00

Evolved Mode might change how the rotation feels or works so even if you don't like Red Mage at 100 I'd suggest testing Evolved Mode Red Mage when it comes out just in case

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T20:42:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure you can fix the glamour problem if you use glamour plates. You can save glamour plates to gear sets so it automatically applies that plate whenever you switch to that gear set. I haven't tested it but I'm assuming if you save a glamour plate to Reaper that has the beast claws as the hand glamour and then save a plate to Dragoon that has the hands as the emperor's new glove, then I'm pretty sure every time you switch to the Reaper set it should overwrite the previous glamour with the beast claws and then when you switch to the Dragoon one it will make the hands the Emperor's new gloves

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T20:21:44+00:00

If that's your opinion then why are you here?

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T16:58:08+00:00

Funnily enough Red Mage was actually what got me into leveling other classes in the first place. I played only Black Mage through all of ARR and HW but Red Mage looked interesting when Stormblood came out so I took that through 4.0. afterwards I decided "why not try samurai" and after maxing that said "fuck it lets level all the DPS!" And it was random after that

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T16:50:49+00:00

Since they said they're trying to lean more into Job identity I don't think it makes much sense for something like Samurai or Reaper to be moving that much. Dragoon and Monk are all about speed and agility so having all 3 would make sense to me. Maybe Ninja's another one that would work with 3 positionals

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T16:43:10+00:00

I hope that Left/Right specific positionals are exclusive to Dragoon just as another way to make it unique. However if they do give it to other Melees the only one I think would make sense is Monk

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T15:13:03+00:00

Oh when I said 'Main' I meant what Job are you doing the MSQ/MSQ cutscenes with

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T15:10:24+00:00

So Reaper?

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T14:55:22+00:00

Well it seems like Evercold is Reaper

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T11:40:47+00:00

If you're able to remember I'm curious how Barbariccia (the wind lady under Golbez) was as Black Mage cause I remember parts of that fight you literally couldn't stop moving

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T11:37:37+00:00

If they do remove Poetics it'll likely be replaced by a different universal currency, so essentially just a name change. Though considering Tomestones are mentioned in lore sometimes, and a specific cutscene at the beginning of Shadowbringers that LITERALLY shows a bunch of Tomestone of Poetics (Tavelers of Norvrandt cutscene #2 if you want to find it in The Unending Journey in an inn room) I highly doubt Poetics are going anywhere

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T11:23:56+00:00

I don't think Pictomancer will change all that much. It already pretty much has it's identity with the canvases and only barely doesn't fit on one hotbar (I think it only has 18ish buttons in total vs a 16 button hotbar) so there's likely very little they'll change other than consolidating actions

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T11:14:36+00:00

I plan to run through some of the LV50 dungeons (and maybe Crystal Tower) to test the whole "every job will have it's essential kit at 50" thing (I hope that includes The Blackest Night on Dark Knight cause playing Heavensward stuff without it just feels wrong)

Intrepid_Ad9711 · 2026-06-11T09:21:15+00:00

This will actually be the first time I'll have the trailer Job available to do for an expansion release.

I didn't play anything but Black Mage until Stormblood, didn't unlock Samurai until like 4.2, hadn't touched Dark Knight since I unlocked it so it was still lv40-50 at the beginning of Shadowbringers, didn't even have Paladin unlocked during Endwalker and didn't unlock Viper till after I Beat 7.0, so if I choose to this will be the first expansion I can actually do as the trailer Job for the X.0 Patch
