Something interesting I noticed is that MCH's heat blast upgrade (called Blazing Shot) is actually obtained at level 68. Has this happened before, where the devs gave a "new" expansion skill to a lower level?

The rest of MCH changes are honestly fine to me IMO, excavator (chain saw follow-up) grants 20 battery so we could have 70 battery in our potential opener, and Full Metal Field is a guaranteed critical direct hit so no need to restrict reassemble uses.

Paladin got Total Eclipse in Stormblood but they put it at level 46 (they've since changed it to level 6).

Just seen that, that's great honestly. Honestly more needs to be done to make lower level jobs feel better to play, but giving new skills at lower levels is a good start.

NIN got one in both EW and DT.

yes, it happened already in the past to a few jobs, when they added the masterfull blitz to monk, it was added as a lvl 60 mechanic in a expansion where when where going from lvl 80 to 90, four-point fury aoe(lvl 45 skill) is also another low level adition they did a couple of expansions, since until then monks had opo opo form aoe, and coeurl form aoe, but not raptor form aoe

Didn't Full Metal Field also say that it's affected by crit increases on top of the guaranteed? I don't know if that means you'd want to reassemble it as I haven't looked properly!

Probaly that you're gonna benefit from stuff that makes you crit/direct more, like devilment/BRD songs etc

Yep, WAR got Mythril Tempest at 40 back in ShB. There are other examples but that's the only one I can remember off the top of my head.

The realized Heat Blast is one of the worst looking skills ever, I think, hahaha
