hes not summonable as far as I can tell, but this is promising.

Sentinels, Aht Urhgan Whitegate)
Summary:
Your task is to find some hard
evidence that the "Dark Rider" has
truly appeared out of legend and is
terrorizing the Empire.\

theres also targetable "The hoofprint of a giant warhorse is here" windurst somewhere, looked like the dialog for horototo, torai or full moon fountain.

found it, its actually DialogTableEntry 00013 You find the hoofprint of a gigantic warhorse...≺Marker: 7F3100≻

now i just need to find it in game. its in the header for the .datfile of full moon fountain, but that contains beastman god dialogs and npc as well, so it could be anywhere really.

Quest Info sc_item_ 789 X Dark Rider hoofprint A hardened chunk of clay imprinted
by the hoof of a huge warhorse.

Most interesting.
 
Ooh I hope so :3 He's neat as hell in every FF
 
What would he do?

In every FF game he's ever been in, summoning Odon is (or can be) insta death with no damage dealt.

Even for an Astral Flow only ability, that's just too much.

But it wouldn't seem like Odin without it :-(
 
Meybe he'll do like a mini-zantesuken or something. Doesn't exactly kill the enemy, but leaves it badly crippled.
 
Not every FF has only had the insta death Odin, in some cases where the insta-death ability didn't work, he flung Gungnir(sp) down instead, doing damage, starting with FFVII I think.
 
thank god he's not summonable... as if SMN need even MORE... how about some more for other jobs >.>
 
Just as i suspected. Odin is the last image in the ToAU Trailer! (he's staring at the camera and breathing)

Happy news indeed! ^^

yeah, because SMN is so powerful with 1 BP per minute.

anyway SMN was one of the first "adjusted" jobs .. or commonly known as nerf'd.

In FF8 he was a lotto pop at the beginning of fights, and did the same instant-death to all mobs trick.

I don't think he'll be summonable. If he is, I sincerely hope his deathkill will have no affect on anything that cons "Impossible to Gauge".
 
I like the way all of you are planning his move... That you are going to "use".... Guess again, you'll be getting struck down with it!

More then likley, we will be fighting Odin, at some point. SMN or Not.

and yes.. let's not forget all they can already do. SMN don't need more. They are fine as is. They just got diabolos for fucks sake.. and less than a year before that they got Fenrir. I think they have enough DDing/Buff capabilities.

I agree
 
Neither of you are smn. GTFO :)

oh yeah, what we can do. we can haste the party at a cost of the 1 bp per minute, at a halfassed haste... we can stoneskin the party with a half assed stoneskin at 1 bp per minute... we can blink a party for a cost of 1 bp per minute...

oh wait.. how long does a battle last... usually less then 2 minutes.

gtfo. smn is not overpowered. blm can do 2x the damage in the same 1 minute period.
 
SMN isn't overpowered but it doesn't need MORE

Screw SMN abilities, they get a pet that looks cool, they don't need anything that'd make them actually useful.. and less than a year before that they got Fenrir. I think they have enough gimped buffs DDing capabilities post-70.

Fixed.

Do you really think SMN's avatars are THAT good? We can't DD til 65, IF we have Fenrir, and that's only remotely reliable on stuff VT or lower. The 70BPs do okay damage, but the only real plus-side to those is that the chunk of damage is does can be thrown away with a mere push of the "Release" command (though if done at the start of a fight, can hold hate long enough to set up TA)

Ecliptic Howl. Decent, usefulness varies between mobs/moon phases.
Ecliptic Growl. Good.
Lunar Cry. Can be good, usefulness varies between mobs/moon phases...if it even hits.
Lunar Roar. Good, except it misses a lot.

Shining Ruby. Crap.
Glittering Ruby. Can be VERY good if stacked with Growl, but chance of it buffing a useful stat isn't too great.
Healing Ruby. Good until you get Cure II.
Healing Ruby II. A godsend.

Aerial Armor? Only good if the mob hits for gross amounts of damage and/or hate is an issue, in which someone's sucking at their job or you're fighting something way too strong.
Earthen Ward? Decent. Might absorb one AOE, huge might.
Rolling Thunder? Seemed OK in CN, otherwise crap.
Tail Whip? Can open some low-level SCs, but it's acc is bad. Quickly becomes crap.
Those Ice/Shock spikes moves, crap crap crap.

Hastega, decent, though it'll drain 1/5 of your MP at lower levels. Duration is crap.
Ifrit's Warcry move, I use it so little I forgot the name...might be good if you communicate with melees and time it pre-WS, but it's duration vs. MP cost is way too horrible to be that useful, and Ecliptic Growl would help more overall in the end...so crap.
All of their tier-II nukes...might be good if MBed, post-Yuhgunta, crap.
All of their tier-IV nukes...might be good if MBed and you have time to keep out your avatar long enough to get some pet TP so it doesn't do f-!king 400.



No, SMN doesn't need more avatars, but their earlier BPs really needto be better. =P We get maybe 12 good BPs from 1-75, and 8 of them are post-60.
