The Beam is nice, otherwise its BLM with a different color scheme. Cool I guess

i doubt it's BLM, theyre showing just the basic abilities. It seems that it has at least 4 base color of paint, each of them linked to emulating an element when used alone. The whole shitck of that class if probably going to be combining those to form multi coloured paining moves. that painted scenery for example, it starts with white and then the brush goes blue.

Actually, I think Painter's going to emulate all six elements. It just didn't show wind and water.

Sure, that's a possibility that I'm considering as well hence why I say "at least". Still, it's the basic colors that emulate the elements. Combinations of colours seem to create landscapes and creatures for more advanced effects and stronger attacks.

Yeah, that's why I think we'll get all six elements - no green for wind was shown and the darker blue for water.

I wonder about how they'll handle landscapes and creatures. Landscapes notably had a "neutral color" first before it got a burst of color while the Moogle was a blend from the start. If I had to guess, the Moogle is going to be something we'll build into. Possibly using certain spell combinations creates an ultimate move in the same vein as Monk.

I think it's the contrary. In the trailer, the Pictomancer used purple, yellow, and THEN painted the landscape by colouring it with purple sky and yellow stars. The moogle one may more be of an OGCD as it doesn't have the same animation.
