That was a vision / dream of a levequest card. His main class is a gladiator in 1.0 outside that vision.

Also it's one of the few visuals we have of the expansion.

Fair enough. I guess my own hype might kick in once they release some screenies/trailers that will be more tuned to my own taste & preferences that this one was.

I can't wait to see the new race! (downside being I then have to start leveling all over again....ugh)

They've shown a few things already, including (off the top of my head);

Two new Beast Tribes.
Two Primals.
Several Zones.
Flying Black Chocobo.
Personal Airships.

To be fair here, what we've seen thu sfar has been little more than concept art. With the exception on that one, 5 second clip of a chocobo flying, we haven't (that i know of) seen any REAL zone footage.

Most of what I've seen so far are screenshots. Primals and Airship are the only concept arts I can think of, though they did have some unfinished models of Bismark around iirc.

I suspect that by Christmas time we will know, not only the release date of the expansion, but also the new race.

Yoshi mentioned during one of the fanfests that he wont reveal the new race until Yugiri takes her gear off.
Erm, that came out wrong. I mean that until Yugiri takes off her armor and shows us what she really looks like under there... This is hard :|

When Yugiri reveals what she is, Yoshi will reveal the next race. So whatever Yugiri is, thats what the new race will be. He mentioned that the 'animations are done for the new race', yet Yugiri is currently using a Miqo'te model and all their animations, which leads me to believe that her current model is pure placeholder.

Oh and we wont find out what Yugiri is until at LEAST 2.5. So thats at least january sometime.

Yeah make sense in the lore, less about ingame facts though, sending an army of dragoons into magic-fire-breathed enemies is like aiming for a massive genocide xD :
