I'm hoping that Lucilius will have a bunch of mechanics that weren't shown here. I'm thinking they hid a lot in this preview, since his phase 2 is based on that Blue Form he took at the end of his preview. In game, most of his major mechanics were in that phase of the fight, which includes things like having one person of each element do a certain amount of damage in one turn, X many hits in one turn, X much plain damage in a turn, X many SBAs in a turn, and having one person tank his most powerful attack. I'm really interested to see how they'll translate some of these to Relink! And hopefully not just dodge the things, kill adds. Siete's always reminded me of FFXV, especially towards the end of that game lol, but with just swords. The dude's a collector and nerd about everything swords, while being super smug, goofy, and powerful. I'm really excited to see how he'll play (and get picked on by the crew hopefully). Song's main deal is being a debuffer with multi-hit attacks and paralysis, which was definitely abused in one raid kinda like how you mentioned for Relink lol. The follow-up skill in gbf actually extends debuff durations, so that'd be a neat mechanic for her to have!
In the game, Tweyen gains effects based on the number of debuffs on the enemy. There's not a 1-1 analogy here because the game could perform a simple 'does the boss have a debuff, if yes, give X' check, but I imagine that her damage should scale with debuffs on the enemy. Also of note was her called-out Two-Crown's Strife, which is still currently the only way to extend timer-based debuffs on an enemy. So I would expect that to be in as well, perhaps resetting debuff timers on the enemy, or extending them by a fixed amount. (And yes, she could extend her own paralysis debuff in the game as well, and it was iconic to her identity and use for years.) EDiT; "Sendefolon", lol 6:10
In the base game, Seofon mechanic and playstyle is all involving around SBA and maintaining his sword buff, he can even fill SBA to full for the whole party which look likely to be that very long charge skill. Meanwhile, Tweyen is involve with applying debuff as she is having instant 10 debuff in the base game and also most wellknown as "Paralyze-bot" for her ability to paralyze the boss. She can raise critical hit rate for whole party too and extend the devuff duration but that might be hard to translate into relink. For me, I like how they translate both character in lore into Relink very much. Seofon is the master of sword and have ability to summon emblema, the sword avatar and Tweyen the master of bow with mobile aerial playstyle. Also very looking into Lucilius as that orb phase is very looking to be what GBF player called "Seventh Trumpet" phase, the phase that start his gimmick mechanic that make the fight in base game notorious hard.
I absolutely believe we WILL be getting skins, the systems for switching outfits are already there for Gran/Djeeta and Siegfried, and we have the ability to switch weapon skins. They wouldn't have this system to not take advantage of it later.
Personally I really hope that Tweyen gives me a reason to use those sigils we have that increase damage based on debuffs placed. Hell she might already have that as an ability in her mastery tree which over all makes me think of OG FF14 Summoner and makes me want to play her even more. And like someone else said, I do think we'll be getting skins. I've played GBF before and every character they've added to the game except for like two have alternate skins from an alt unit OR have a grand version of their over all character that has a different outfit. Based on what I saw I believe the only characters without a real skin change , Grand ver. or alternate unit are Vane and Ghandagoza. And mostly Ghanda because Vane's SSR (which is what his Relink form is based off of) changed clothes once you uncap him to level 80 or 100 but its not really a combat skin. Just him wearing casual attire since the upgrade image features him having a picnic with Lancelot. You should look up Narmaya (Grand) though. Her alternate outfit is pretty cool.
The future updates better have bosses or something cause no way they expect us to be excited to hop back on the game just by adding some characters and doing the same repeat quests for no reason
They made it pretty clear they didn't plan on adding much post launch to be honest. I hope there's more content in coming patches which I'm pretty sure there will be but they expected less than a million sales so doubt there's a lot of developers on this one 😭
Thanks for the video Haps Seofon and Tweyen look great visually, I can see what director Fukuhara meant when he said the design team had improved meaningfully since the beginning of the game's development. On the topic of paid content, at least all of these material/sigil packs are only one-time purchase at a low cost so it's not as predatory as some games I've seen. Agreed at the disappointment of no new skins, but then again I have no idea how difficult creating models for this game is. If nothing else at least we get to fight Lucilius while listening to a banger: ua-cam.com/video/Sn8yInYg0vs/v-deo.htmlsi=IVG6uYuenRmnwuuv
I must have missed it. Did you mention Sandalphon's guest appearance and announcement he'll be playable in 1.3? I guess Metera was a possible character and was cut from the game. Speculation is she got reworked into Tweyen as she's also a flying bow user.
Cygames said this multiple times in the past: Theyre not going to do skins. It going to bloat the game's size And most people dont understand how Cygames do stuff. They hand paint everything; they take a piece of paper, paint with water color, wait for it to dry, scan it, and then put it in the game

In the mobile game Seofon can fully charge SBA gauge of all party members with a skill, so that long buff might be it.
Long buff in the video it has same voice line when he active his skill 4 on his FLB version
@@amri007able That's why I said it could give full SBA charge for all alies. I wonder if this skill can't be recasted like in mobile game.
In the base game, Seofon mechanic and playstyle is all involving around SBA and maintaining his sword buff, he can even fill SBA to full for the whole party which look likely to be that very long charge skill.

Hoping we get new weapons from luci. Looking forward to the new characters and PRAYING for QoL transmutation
This game is so good, I hope they go further than patch 1.3

i believe they will put skins thats for sure but this month must have been really busy with the lucilius and new characters.
The future updates better have bosses or something cause no way they expect us to be excited to hop back on the game just by adding some characters and doing the same repeat quests for no reason
They made it pretty clear they didn't plan on adding much post launch to be honest. I hope there's more content in coming patches which I'm pretty sure there will be but they expected less than a million sales so doubt there's a lot of developers on this one 😭
devs mentioned new quests will be added on v1.2
they should added skins for the paid contents
Thanks for the video Haps

What time is the raid?
I must have missed it. Did you mention Sandalphon's guest appearance and announcement he'll be playable in 1.3?
I guess Metera was a possible character and was cut from the game. Speculation is she got reworked into Tweyen as she's also a flying bow user.
Yeah, Sandalphon will be a guest in the upcoming quest, and an unlockable playable character in May
