They did the same thing from STB to Shadowbringers. Then Shadowbringers to EW. In EW, the only time the 4s duration thing ever mattered was in TOP P6. It has never mattered, even in w1 savage. Like yes, it's still good to time it, but it's not mandatory outside of Wave Cannons and 2nd cosmos dive in TOP. In some comps, though, ive seen a tank mess up their 25s and still live wave cannon. Unless they make every aoe/buster in savage super punishing like p6 TOP, nothing is gonna really change.

Yeah thats something they did with Reaper too, went from eyes spinning watching the media tour to "Oh thats actually REALY easy lol". Really helps the mental symmetry

woops talking about DOT stacking on Sage in DT, and not to be all "back in my day...", but, back in my day playing WHM and SCH in HW and StB, DOT stacking was like, the standard. WHM having Aero 2 + 3 and SCH with Miasma + Bio in a 1-2 punch was just how it was, SCH even had like 4 or 5 separate DOTS it could slap on at any given time (and could spread them all w/ Bane) and i loved it. Then ShB came around and squenix was like "we can't go having healers have more than two or three damage buttons, their poor little brains couldn't possibly handle it" and all healers' damage options got gutted. And sure maybe the potencies were all adjusted to make it even out but I genuinely miss being a goofy ass DOT-master healer, pianoing between all its DOTs and still trying to be a good healer tickled my brain in a way i really liked, then ShB just made SCH into a sleepwalking Broil bot and it really killed a lot of my love for the job. I still play a bit of SCH every now and again today, but man, I will die on the hill of StB SCH being my favorite iteration of the job, even if squenix thinks my brain was too small for it. point i'm trying to make is, woops being like "two DOTs from one healer on one target seems so crazy and interesting" and i'm over here like the meme of Wolverine laying on a bed looking at a picture but it's me looking at a picture of StB SCH like "yeah stacking multiple DOTs on a target as a healer sure would be interesting, wouldn't it..."

What Sage has is basically identical to what Scholar had to do with Miasma II as well. It was a point-blank AoE with a DoT that had a total potency higher than Ruin at the time (mostly because Ruin was a very weak spell since SCH was reliant on DoTs for damage), so you wanted to be sticking close to the boss to keep it up when possible. So having both a ranged and "melee" DoT as a healer isn't a new thing either, and SGE has more mobility than old SCH did, so I don't see it being a big problem.

I don't see any problem with that, every 123 string performed rewards you with an instant Holy Spirit that you can utilize while you disengage from the enemy, not to mention PLD's magic phase giving you up to 10 seconds of ranged, high damage attacks. Now with upgraded Requiescat having 25 yalms cast range PLD gets even more comfortable maintaining its rotation while doing a mechanic at range.

Commenting before I finish the video but yes I do love the dots stacking for SGE. At least one of the healers should have 2 (permanent) dots imo, just for variety's sake. I am sure they are aware they went a bit overboard with healer simplification in the last 2 expansions.

The dot stacking on Sage is like Scholar back in the day with Bio/Miasma and Miasma 2! Miasma 2 was an aoe based on the character and most of the time it was used to keep up but also movement so maybe SE are bringing back that playstyle with Sage which is kinda cool but also sad at the same time LOL I miss that so much on Scholar

Don't normally leave comments, but coming here from the stream at your request! Been looking forward to this since media tour was announced, and I suppose since the EW one - your overviews are right to the point, and show your excellent grasp of basically every job in the game with how you give insight on how the new buttons fit into the flow of rotations. Your enthusiasm for the game is always a treat, especially when I was feeling a bit doomer about some of the leaked changes. Woke up to see the media embargo lifted, and this was the first place I went to look at the new stuff - if no one else got me I know woops (and jill!) got me. Keep up the good work!

Hell Yeah, JILL TIME!!

I'm really happy with my main job changes, looking forward to trying them out in a few weeks

SGE DoT stacking is amazing, welcome back Aero III

Every expansion I cross my fingers that Woops gets to go to the media tour since his recap is always the most concise and cohesive for me to consume. Really enjoyed this all being one video and also getting to hear Jill's expertise too!! The humor in this video was great too LOL. LOVED the editing of the dungeon too between the trust and real party. Thank you for the excellent coverage!!! Appreciate the work you both do.

Not me watching the intro and spotting the way that the swords were on your back and thinking "Oh god the Kirito comparison to Viper is growing stronger" 🤣 They look cool though I love those swords, even coloured the same way for a Kirito look lmao. (Just backwards)

This video is a good video, good one!

If sage keeps the stacking dot going live it will be my most hype healer because then it keeps the promise yoshi p said about sage being the healer that caters to the people who miss the more old school style healer, Otherwise I'm hype for the healers in general. and surprisingly Pictomancer.

First off really liked the switching of Woops and Jill for each of their input for their expertise; Honestly need to get my hands on many of the jobs to get the new feel for them but Picto looks incredible finally a caster that has a good amount of movement while having more casting going on and things to work on.

Ahhhh I can't wait for Dawntrail!! I wanna play everything right now TwT I had stopped played Astro to favour White Mage as my healer of choice, but this makes me excited to go back. And as a Monk main, I'm always ready to try what they throw at me so very very excited to see how these changes feel.

Exception video for the Dawntrail changes woops. Really good job. Thanks!!!

nice breakdowns

the viper animations at 5:32 are SO CLEAN

i am PRAYING for the dots stacking to stay in the final release, it seems like so much fun.

Jill appreciation comment. Absolute giga-editor. Viper looks super fun so i'm probably running MSQ with it and making it my main melee, replacing reaper. GNB is my main tank and looks flashier and more fun than ever. SGE is my main healer and that DoT stacking definitely does sound interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how it feels to actually maintain but you're right in saying that it's about to get interesting. I'm excited. RDM is my main caster and that moulinet change has been needed for so long. Needing 60 gauge for it was always so weird feeling. The changes and new additions all look interesting and there's some good QoL so it all looks great. gonna take time to learn the new rotation and flow for it. MCH has been my main phys ranged job but if I'm being honest I never put much time into phys ranged past leveling. This might change in the future though with how cool the new MCH stuff looks. I need this expansion in my hands RIGHT NOW. Everything looks so cool and I'm super excited.

Thanks for the story spoilers at the end and warning, see ya in DT o/ xD

But that's the problem- Everything is not only being streamlined, but also simplified. We already had a HUGE 2-minute-problem in Endwalker, there's no diffrence between the Healers and Tanks, and these changes indicate that Square is going to only simplify and continue to make everything bland.

This might be my favourite Media Tour video - and I haven't even watched all of it yet! Good and succinct mix of facts, clearly showing off the new stuff/changes and opinions. I also think it's great you let Jill take over for the tank and BLM section, not every FF14 YTuber would be this easy about admitting they might not know everything about the game.

One thing I like with Bard. If I’m reading the tooltip of Barrage accurately, it specifically names Refulgent Arrow and shadowbite, which should mean the Barrage buff cannot be accidentally spent on Burst shot because dopey me fat fingered it 😂

I'm actually much more pleased than I expected! Minus SMN being too samey I suppose, but no major complaints from me :D

I'm most excited for the 1 thing the videos seem to miss out and I'm hoping I am seeing it correctly but upgraded req has 25y range, that's the biggest upgrade I could ask for and you wouldn't realise it's needed unless you play PLD all the time and realise certain fights are arkward for burst phases happening at bad times, mostly fights like DSR during double dragon on an away first.

Sage double dotting and the ogcd gonna be so fun dps wise

Viper seems to not like controllers. Everything is broken down into fives and controllers are based on fours. This is going to be a pain to figure out how to slot.

I dont think theres gonna be any major differences dot stacking on 1 boss if the pot is so low. However dotting mobs as you go and then throwing out the aoe dot as tank is set will be delicious

I do find it kinda funny that woops' interest for DoT2: Electric Boogaloo is because positioning could be weird with it being melee ranged but like. I already have to plan around positioning at melee ranged during burst window so i cast phlegma. So now I basically just get to hover a lil closer to the bosses than i already did so i can do DoT uptime :D

jill is so cool like bro ?

When i see dragoon kept its 1 minute life window im happy best part of the job is constant red mode every minute so happy to see it. Looks like the job got a lot of quality of life rather then the big overhaul people were fearing which is fantastic .

I’m definitely looking forward to DRG and VPR most
