Man, the explanation for Essential Dignity suddenly make's AST's old Esuna, Exalted Detriment, make WAY more sense.
Fun fact, the description of the combust debuff states that it does damage over time due to "proximity to a theoretical sun". And now I know why.
Celestial Opposition and Intersection worked better in their original ability form. Celestial Opposition used to stun all nearby enemies while increasing the duration of all positive buffs on nearby party members (kind of fitting the 'opposition' part, two opposing effects), and Celestial Intersection used to grant a shield when in Diurnal (regen) Sect, and a regen when in Nocturnal (shield) sect, so you were creating a temporary intersection between the Diurnal and Nocturnal sects to tap the power of the one you weren't on!
Unfortunately balance changes have altered a handful of things even in other classes. But it's cool to see how the dev team really does try to make things unique even if it doesn't last forever.
Exalted Detriment as AST Esuna made so much sense back in the day, and while it was kinda niche, I kinda miss the Stella-class spells which inflicted Heavy. And we had Disable too, which has been reworked into the animation of a certain astrologian's instant kill execute spell.
Leeches was for Scholar (bloodletting to remove ailments?) as Esuna is a classic white magic spell in the franchise (or Green magick in some) to cure ailments. If Esuna were not a role action, I wonder what Sage might have used - Panacea perhaps?
Another great video as always, excited for the next! I wanted to point out something small too that, for Combust, it further links to the concept when you read the debuff tooltip, stating "Proximity of a theoretical sun is causing damage over time."
Oh that's a very nice tooltip!
The debuff descriptions for Miasma was pretty gnarly back in the day.
“Lungs are failing, causing damage over time”
Macrocosmos is my favorite ability in the game together with Communio and my explanation is that macro external factor (damage from an external source) effects the micro internal state (healing based on the external factor)
I don’t like this explanation much because it only works one way, but in the context of Astrology makes perfect sense as we see the effects of the macro in our micro world.
Aaaaa an amazing video!! I’m so excited for the cards video - I knew most of these but I thought the cards were basically random!
Nice vid. Im looking forward to Sage's medical terms everywhere. It's my healer job of choice to play, and im primarily an omni player.
I knew nothing about Astrology until I watched this video and i freakin loved learning about it. Looking forward to the cards video ❤
Thank you!
Ailuromage comes from Ailuro- meaning cats, and mage, hence Ailurophobia is the fear of cats.
Interestingly, the genus for Red Pandas is Ailuridae, which suggests some cat connection. In Mandarin they are even known as XiaoXiongMao, or “lesser bear cats”.
I found both your AST videos to be very interesting. Make more! More!!!!!!! :)
Very cool! I love astrology and astro as a class but didn't really think of how any of the ability names really connected
I never took notice to skill names... thank you for the video ! It's amazing how creators take notice to such things ;_;
Something to add is that Neutral Sect always existed for Astro, but the use in the original incarnation was a temporary buff to tap both powers, providing regen and shields regardless of which sect you chose for that battle (they could only swap outside of combat!). It retains the same use today, just all Astros are stuck in Diurnal Sect :3
PS: Will you be doing any analysis in the next video on the new abilities in Dawntrail? The cards have also been changed for AST so the six playable cards are slightly different now.
I do want to eventually look at some of the DawnTrail updates because I've already seen a couple that intrigued me, but there's other parts of the game too that I'm excited to talk about.
Great Video! Uh weird question, what chest piece are you wearing for your AST glam. I’ve been trying to find a new AST glam for DT.
The chest is the Late Allagan Coat of Healing and I believe I got it at the Wolf's Den.
I am a month late here but for some reason I thought this was on a different video I am so sorry! Someone else also asked me what this outfit was and it's this:
Vanya Hat of Healing
Ramie Robe of Healing
Strife gloves
Strife bags
Atrociraptorskin boots of healing
Lotus pink dye for hat, chest, and boots
Currant purple dye for pants
This is SO interesting!!! Thank you for the lesson!
These explanations are super awesome, thanks!
That was a super cool video! It's always cool to understand the reasoning behind names and stuff like that.
Kitty is popping off 🎉😮
Oh woo, look at this! Super fun, love it!
awesome vid !!
I thought Essential Dignity meant wearing clean underwear and not going on Twitter.
>helios
I mean... the Azem's "constellation" on their crystal is the Sun after all.
