@@Zephhi "Out of left field" (also "out in left field", and simply "left field" or "leftfield") is American slang meaning "unexpected", "odd" or "strange". No one expected it as it was an obscure class from an obscure character so yes it was unexpected, we expected the next scouting class to some form of melee class.

Seems like a pretty simple class but definitely unique compared to the rest of the casters for sure. I love that they gave it that mobility too, huge plus for me. From the way the rotation looks, it's probably going to be my main going into Dawntrail.

@jordym22

Ай бұрын

It not exactly complicated, though it does appear to be harder to play than both summoner and red mage imo. Obviously i shouldn't have to explain why its more complicated than summoner, as literally everything is. However, it appears more challenging than RDM as well, especially with the QOL changes RDM is getting, making managing your gauge even easier than it already was. Picto seems to do a lot of casting, so movement intensive fights could add some difficulty to it, whereas SMN barely casts at all, and honestly, neither does RDM, mostly due to melee combo, acceleration and dualcast.

@kiraleshoth

It looks like a mix of its own mechanics, black mage and summoner in a way. The rotation itself is fairly simple to understand, but planning around mechanics and cast times will be rewarded.

Looking forward to see you playing this my liege.

Both viper and picto look really fun. Can't wait to try them.

The thumbnail for this video told me everything i needed to know about Xeno's reaction, but still watched, liked and commented for the algorithm. ❤

yoship almost missed a use of the weapon motiff, this might be a hard job to manage actually. Interesting.

Pictomancer looks so fun oh my god I'm excited

Looks like there's going to be some decent skill expression with this job. So far, it looks fun.

i like the look of this class

I'm seeing parallels with Warrior in early Endwalker. Content creators collectively went "WAR IS USELESS AND FEELS BAD AND DEEEEEEEAD BECAUSE MUH FFLOGS NUMBAHS!!! IT'S SO BAD AND INFERIOR AND UNUSABLE OUTSIDE DUTY ROULETTE BOOOHOOOOOO..." but the usage numbers just wouldn't lie so the narrative went 180 to "NOOOO WARRIOR TOO OP WHY DOES IT HEAL SO MUCH AND WHY DOES IT KEEP UP IN DPS WITH THE HARDER AND BETTER TANKS!? IT'S BRAINDEAD STOP PLAYING THE BRAINDEAD JOB NUUUUUUU!!!!". Now that I think about it it's the same extreme copium as with Summoner. Since the start of Endwalker every content creator and parrot that never actually played the job is desperately spamming about how it's terrible and braindead and shame on you for playing it, while the actual numbers show a massive increase in playrate, and it outperforming the theoretically stronger jobs, leading even more salt from the tryhard failures that can't perform what they preach as the standard. So I predict that Picto will in fact be a very popular, successful, and extremely envied job just like Endwalker Summoner.

Can't wait for the Bob Ross glams.

Ngl, the canvas UI is beyond jarring. They should opt for making them float around the character ingame. Everytime you use one up, it disintegrates.

Because it looks ridiculous visually. Gameplay isn’t the issue. How is that not obvious?

I love that they implemented color theory in this job. RGB -> CYM

Wasted opportunity to bring some of Yoshitaka Amano's amazing works to Pictomancer in game. If it looked like Final Fantasy VI water color effects it'd be so much better and sleeker. All I'm seeing is Splatoon mobile effects here which I get is the trend sadly.. Otherwise I applaud the unique class choice.

I think it looks different and may be fun to play around with… it is hard to take it serious though. Still nice for those who will enjoy it regardless.

If my teammates need to stand in that circle to get buff, l can't wait to see how they all Run out of it. Just like how people ran from my cover in 5v5

On the intial trailer they released a few months ago i thought the abilties looked out of place / bad.. but seeing them ingame during this they look soooooo much better.. maybe it was just the lighting that made them look dodgy?

Now i can suffer with color balancing with my Burst phase!

Having GCDs that deal no damage is such a wild concept imo. Imagine the value of being able to further your rotation during downtime mechanics. On the other hand, this seems punishing for less advanced players that don’t conform to the burst meta.

The job mechanics look really cool. I will try it out for fun but i dont think ill play it. The visuals and the sounds are not my thing at all. It reminds me way too much of Splatoon

Yo Yo Yo

1.4sec cast is so much better than rdm dualcast, taking 1.4sec to cast during movement is nothing, while rdm has to stand still for 2.46sec if you wanna take advantage of dualcast, once again rdm completely forgotten

Cool mechanics, lame theme.

As a Thraumaturg, can I not approve this „mages“. Whe stand at the abyss and embody darkness and destruction. And than are there „white mages“ who bring happiness with pictures? That is not acceptable (I want the pictomancer to start in Ul Dah, directly by the Thraumaturg guild, and messing them up, with there fun^^). In second view looks the pictomencer nice. It doesn’t fit my theme in wizards and it was confusing from the trailer. But it’s a nice concept idea and looks nice. And I understand them more as the viper. Whe only need now the details of the skills and some practice experience. The biggest positive thing for him is his 1,2,3 combo. I want that for BLM to. Because it feels sometimes boring to mostly use only 1 button. And by red mage is it blocking my movement flow, by switching between meele attacks and range attacks.
