So totally worth it for enfeebles instead of hogging 16 spaces for ToTM staves<3

They need to just add the damn thing already and quit teasing us. And am I the only one that thinks the name "Prism Staff" doesn't need to be changed? Name pending... Prism is just fine.

yes, but now if i didn't want to go through all that...i dont have to
Ehh.. MAB instead of Affinity? It was neither MAB nor MATK on the originals.. i'm hoping it's just bad wording, and will still do the same damage as the HQs.
Remember this staff isn't meant to replace ToM staffs, it is the level 51 group combined.

With that in mind, Square's designers should go digging through old DAT sites and find those DATs that made the old staves shine, then combine them to make a real Prism Staff, complete with rainbow shine. ^^

They won't do that cuz they "only use their own work"

I think the JP post hints towards Magic Affinity rather than MAB:

Although, knowing Square, they will probably just use the same tired Rune Staff model that all the ToM models are now or the original Staves' model with a clear jewel rather than a colored one. I just love the particles of these~
Even if it's "affinity" like the one from ToM staves, it won't beat the old ones in specific circumstances. I have complete faith SE will find multiple ways of screwing this up.
These are the "HQ" stats which means its gonna be a super high level synergy probably that takes 8 of the elemental HQ staves for a shot at NQ Prism Staff I bet. HQ is probably gonna be extremely expensive.
Camate said: Infidi said: I know it would be too much to hope for but you didn't mean "Magic Damage +3" instead of MAB +3 did you, Camate? I Think that would make it just abit stronger the HQ elemental staves we have now ? Which I think equates to Magic Damage +2? IDR for sure lol. Someone can correct me . Japanese-wise I checked into this a bit more. The original Japanese post shows "魔法攻撃力+" instead of "魔法攻撃力アップ", so I will go ahead and say that this is "Magic Attack+" and not "Magic Attack Bonus." I will however confirm this for sure and get back you to That's too subtle... All the others you can tell apart right away. Unless they make the actually staff a different color, or make the colors on the jewel more pronounced, this will fade in the light and look like Apollo.

Might add a glow effect, or maybe the colors in the orb are animated and move like a lavalamp.

Leviathan.Jackieolivas said: » They could at least add more Cure+ to it... Remember it apparently has +2 affinity acc/dmg like the lvl 51 staffs as mentioned so in theory its 10% cure potency + apollos staff. Affinity... ._.
i wonder if you can augment it like you can hq staves
Too little too late imo, SE shouldve released this in ~2005
[+]
Staves didn't actually have Affinity, they had "Staff Bonus" which was a different term. It's only important in Abyssea, though.
[+]
I knew, but it roughly works out to be about +2 affinity. Point still remains it could be light element magic attack as well as the cure potency which is what im reading the description as. Which could make it worthwhile for cures too.
