Also if you pay close attention - midare setsugekka has your character doing a 360 haha

RIP Kaiten 2017 - 2022

[@Mad-Slick]

Seeing Midare and Shoha in slow-motion is great.

[@si9ina]

Well done. The best FF14 skills showcase ever. Please make more.

[@Ronin-Kenshi]

Did the class proud, bravo

[@blademan_b]

Hello. Can I reference your video in my youtube video?😁

[@wafflem8]

Hello, yes, please feel free to do so. I admire your work 👍 PS: if you need additional FFXIV footage of some move, I'd be happy to record some

[@Dzugoslav]

Blyatiful

[@Daktangle]

What is that glamour, it's so freakin cool? :O

[@ArtKatarina]

Is it keyframe animation or mocap?

[@Coolyourflow]

I am late to this video but what is this glam? :o

[@wafflem8]

From the Deltascape raids, sword as well.

[@thegentlevan]

What's the glamour pieces used for your outfit?

[@numberc8420]

Since you didn't get an answer, it's the Genji set you can trade Poetics for at Rhalgr's Reach.

[@thegentlevan]

@@numberc8420 LMAO thanks for answering but unfortunately I've stopped FFXIV already :(

[@Liquefaction]

@@numberc8420 I needed this so thx

[@ShermTank7272]

What armor is that? Been searching the whole game to find a "heavy samurai armor" set but I could never find one

[@wafflem8]

Deltascape/Genji gear

[@ShermTank7272]

@@wafflem8 Thanks!

[@RyuNoZero]

I kinda fucking love how it chants "Riding Home" while Kaiten is shown, really hits the nail on the head! though I kinda dislike the order of shown abilities and Tsubamegaeshi was kinda unnecessary and no display with turned off battle animation but it's okay holy crap Ikishoten looks kinda improvised if you ask me xD like without the lightning effect it's kinda a hard sell. funnily enough I'm learning all these Moves and it's Great Fun and this is a Tasty Video!

[@br4nd0nh347]

There's a samurai move where they jump up in the air inside an orb, do you know what it is?

[@reijikogarashi1867]

There's no such skill. Only dragoon jumps up in the air.

[@Pompadourius]

I mean, there's third eye where they get surrounded by a small protective sphere for a second, but they don't jump while doing it. Unless every SAM you see using it jumps while doing it, for whatever reason.

[@DnVFMVs]

only the loldrg can use that skill sir/mame/he/her

[@feeblemind]

Miqote animations seem so much more well animated. Compared to my Elezen samurai he looks clunky AF when he does any of these abilities lol maybe its time to race swap

[@wafflem8]

Nice! I totally forgot about race-specific animations.

[@feeblemind]

@@wafflem8 i didnt know there was a thing. People say its not true but looking at this in slow motion compared to my elezen he looks clunky and not smooth at all.

[@wafflem8]

@@feeblemind ooh right, it might not be race-specific after all. I've only noticed it on the male and female idle stances and the battle-ready emotes - males hold the sword backward and they hold it up higher for the battle-ready animation. Hopefully there are other differences!

[@feeblemind]

@@wafflem8 i think it just seems different because elezen have awful models that are kinda stiff and way too long and big so when they do the battle animation it looks off

[@xiphosura413]

@@wafflem8 In fact, not being race-specific is probably why it looks kinda scuffed on elezen, because of using the same animation for a different skeleton. Perhaps it's also visible on Roes.

[@TheMaxCloud]

does this job gets "Faster"? I just started lvling samurai from my 80 drk, and it feels slow af...

[@denispeda]

yeah, it will be like a dance when you master it, its very satisfying imo the best melee in the game

[@TheMaxCloud]

@@denispeda lvl 75. Yup its so fluid right now, it evolved splendidly.

[@IRedpunk]

@@TheMaxCloud i was aiming for DRK but I’m starting to think about Samurai, just because it has a bloody sheath lol, I hate floating weapons.

[@TheMaxCloud]

@@IRedpunk Oh yeah, there is actually an attack where the SAM uses their sheath to strike

[@RuthlessUP]

What glamour are you using

[@wafflem8]

Deltascape/Genji gear.

[@subutai2595]

What are this for a Epic Armor?

[@tavernadodevilhunter6732]

its omega deltascape raid set from stormblood

[@radoslavkosil7450]

LOL WOMAN SAMURAI XD
