HeavensWard Expansion

[coldreactive]

In the first Intro from 1.0 you see him changing into an Archer with picking up a bow

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

and later he switch to warrior and now move to dragoon in heavenward. I really wonder what happen to those ppl around him, where did they go ?

The trailer shows the long awaited AF 2, also shows in a very nice way how the armory system works here, which is still a main appeal despite it being hell to gear up different classes and also shows the main focus of the expansion, the war against the dragons of Dravania.

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.

Pfft, i have my Fantasia from sub rewards ...

I'm waiting specifically to see what the new race is (PLEASE BY THE TWELVE MAKE IT GRIA) and if i like said race, I'll be race changing to it ASAP. lol

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.

well lore wise he is going up against dragons. Dragoons are dragon slayers. so why not? lol

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 :
