A HEAVY technical character that can use five variations of attacks at the third stage of his Brave moves both on the ground and in midair. He possess a high ability to knockback, wall rush or isolate characters typical of HEAVY characters. His unique EX skill "Monarch's* Manifesto" (shinsei no geki) gives him and allies around him buffs. The longer he holds the button, the more the buffs hence allies providing cover is an important aspect.



*shinsei literally means "expedition led by a king"



I'm also taking liberties with translating the BRV attacks based on what I can find from previous FF12 moves, and sticking close to the literal meaning as best as I can.



BRV



Ground



Ground Rush**: II-II

Bonecrusher: (after Ground Rush) II. Knocks enemy forward

Headwind Break: (after Ground Rush) forward II. Slides to the back of the opponent to knock him away

Concealed Dragon: (after Ground Rush) back II. Knocks the opponent upwards

Left Reversal: (after Ground Rush) left II. Knocks the opponent to the right

Right Hammer: (after Ground Rush) right II. Knocks the opponent to the left

Inviolable Will: Forward II.

Mach Wave: Back II. Tracks the enemy after a period of time



Midair



Air Rush**: II-II

Bonecrusher: (after Air Rush) II. Knocks enemy forward

Headwind Break: (after Air Rush) forward II. Slides to the back of the opponent to knock him away

Descending Phoenix: (after Air Rush) back II. Knocks downwards

Left Reversal: (after Air Rush) left II. Knocks the opponent to the right

Right Hammer: (after Air Rush) right II. Knocks the opponent to the left

Indestructible Heaven: Forward II. Lunges upward in an uppercut

Hell's Kick. Back II. A kick downwards



Dash



Leaves of Sephira***: II (can be held down)



**Likely to be Pummel, though the kanji are different for Pummel in the original FF12.

***Different kanji from Tree of Sephira, which was "SEPHIRA no taiji". Here they used "SEPHIRA no hamura", which mean leaves.



HP Attacks



Force of Will: IV.



EX Skill



Monarch's Manifesto: I. Grants buff to self and allies in a surrounding area for a period of time, the longer it is held, the more buffs granted. Level 1: defense and EX skill gauge up. Level 2: Movement and BRV up. Level 3: Attack up, regain HP.

User Info: heartlesshero17 heartlesshero17 2 years ago #2 I was kinda annoyed at first when I realized Novus wasn’t an ex skill and an alt instead but I guess that means I can go Broly mode at all times. And his ex skill sounds awesome anyways

I felt the same way! I thought it was going to be a breakthrough feature so we could see EX modes again, like Kefka turning into his God form or Sephy getting his wing, but no, it's just his alternate, which is a very strange pick. I know he has nothing else, but nothing's wrong with originality every once in a while. I felt the same way!

User Info: Fenris30 Fenris30 2 years ago #4 That EX skill sounds great. Though I guess instead of 'Come here and let momma Y'shtola heal you' it's 'get over here and let me make you unwashed masses not suck for a minute.'



I feel he'll need a particular amount of teamwork and communication to really work ideally with since the ability to thwack people in multiple directions will be triply good when you, say, have a friend waiting to intercept them as you boot them toward them(from below, or a side, etc), or near a wall with some of that insane wall rush distance he gets. I mean it's good for you too; he can turn a back-to-the wall situation into a reverse where they get plastered if they mess up.



Seeing the video, his damage seems solid overall and he's a Vanguard so his Poise is probably good I'd assume. From a glance it seems his a weakness is a not-terribly amazing ranged attack assortment(his Back BRV seems quite slow and very linear, and I can't tell its tracking capabilities if any.) He doesn't seem too weak at all in the air.



I guess we'll find out how many HP attacks he has. I think he'll have more than the one, but I wonder if since he has so many BRV options if they might not hack one off of him(or they might find him okay with that.)

He'll have 4 HP attacks, like every other character (except for Vaan). He'll have 4 HP attacks, like every other character (except for Vaan).

Yeah, the way the swords impale Vaan looks like how the animation is executed in XII.



His next two are probably Inviolable Will and Tree of Sephira, though they might give him some of The Undying's attacks instead.
