I'm really confused here. If you guys keep talking a bout a Mithra Homeland then what's Kazham? I thought that was the homeland >_>

I remember thinking the same thing. Apparently Kazham is more of an outpost of sorts for Mithra. I'd love to see the homeland. Perhaps now we'll actually see male Mithra? Interesting thought, ne? Of course, if we do, they'll no doubt get thousands upon thousands of cries for male Mithra PCs. I still gotta get CoP though damnit. ><

Thanks for the explanation. But Kazham an outpost? O_o That's certainly news to me. Oh well. I won't worry anymore about it.

Sure would, my biological clock is ticking. :angel:

What would be REALLY cool is they add a new country with this expansion one that you can only join if you're a Mithra. That's right an all mithra nation. Mithra and Galka are the only two races that don't have a homeland. The Galka HAD a homeland but the Antican stole it. As for the Mithra, let's face it, Windurst is full of Tarus that drive you crazy with all of their baby-talk and Kazham is FULL of Opo-opos.
/em throws up. Ugh .... opos ... so gross.

So, here's hoping for a new Mithran nation, cheers!

I would buy the expantion even if that was the only thing they included XD hopefully along with a new nation to join (mithra only YAY!) they include a quest were u get 1 chance at changing into a male mithra.
Aside from all this would be nice to see a mithran flag of some sort ^^!!
/cheer SE :lol:

if it is i swear twords the end that was two Blue Mages, it looks kinda like the ones from FFTA in a sense, and that fire breathing thing, thats definatly somthing a Blue Mage should be able to do

Yeah but in FFTA Blue Mages are able to learn any monsters move that is used on them so in theory if a Blue Mage was to fight a monster that used a flame breath attack it should be able to learn it thus creating
Flame Breath+Person=Blue Mage

and the enemy skill materia in ff7 was the same way.^^

But in VII only certain monster moves could be learned. Some Monster moves could unbalance this game. Think Pertify.

Then there is the mecansim. Most all of the Monster moves are TP based. I think a few are not, but have some disagree with me on that. Will the BLU run off MPs? Or TP? Or something else?

I want to see a DRG/BLU and his Wivern both using Flame Breath.

If I remember, Blue Mages have always run off MP, so I figure this will be the same.

Dancer.... I have ALWAYS wished there were a Dancer job in this world. I have a lot of "Dance on your face in my 4" spike heels" in my view of the job.

I wrote this a long time ago.....


I want to be a Dancer.

I want Dances of Power, of Terror, of Seduction.

I want to Dance the Spirits up from the Earth and the Stars down from the Sky.

I want to Dance Demons back throught the iron gates of Hell and then I want to dance those gates shut.

I want to Dance.

Blue Mages? Blue Mages have always been a bit hardier a class than other mages except maybe Red Mages. They can usually wear medium-defense armor and equip swords and stuff.

no, i mean dancers i think a nice combo would be blu/rdm but i'm gonna get drk and pld and find out which one would be good to use for blue mage.

Yeah that is BLue mage at the end of the video....it cant really be anything els. and I can see DRG/Dancer or DRG/Bluemage or DRG/Geomancer working well ^.^

what about...BRD/BLU? or Rng/BLU or vice versa?

Almost any subjob save /WAR is verboten for PLDs in parties.

How well it combines will depend on wether it uses MPs or something else.

Mmmmmmm... Pollen for 300 + with no MPs....... Yummie.
