Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

[KerenRhys]

Many MNK weapons use blades, as pointed out earlier; the fact that she has hidden blades doesn't mean much, and the moves she is using screams "MONK!" to me.

Moreover, an hidden blade as a main weapon would be very weird in a game where gear design and glamour are so proeminent. It would also create a problem with gear design since it would mean that every armor for this job would need big sleeves to "hide" the weapon, meaning you can't use the same armor skins as any other job (unless you take out sleeveless or tight sleeves armors from these jobs too).

I know right?! They made derplander mighty fine. (assuming he is derplander, but you never know...)

It is derplander... They clearly said during the keynote that he went from DRG to MNK. He always looks a bit different with CG because time does pass in the FFXIV world.

So my guess is Pugilist will get an additional job path to Dancer, explaining why it shares some similarities to Monk. My question is if Samurai will be a dual sword wielding class, as that artwork of the new legatus is clearly showing a sword in the right hand, and a sheathed sword in his left. Parry confirmed?

I thought it was common knowledge that they really regretted their decision to have both Summoner and Scholar come from the ARcanist class. They REALLY don't want to do another one class->two jobs thing again. They're trying to get away from classes, that's why HW jobs did not come with base classes!

IF Dancer does branch off pugilist...

I hope I would be able to use the emperor's new hora on it.



Best Monk weapon glamor in my opinion. ;P

Budget increase should include server / hardware investment as well.

Yes, a lot of FF XIV profit will go into inventory expansion ^^

Xbox one release maybe?

Not so long it is a Microsoft console or until Microsoft change their cross-platform policy.

I'm still gunning that the girl is indeed a DNCER from the trailer because while shes fighting our derplander mnk after she punched hard but blocks. She jumps back and does a VISIBLE jig before attacking again. So I am still going to say DNCER. Maybe with Puglist -> class to Mnk or DNC. Similar to SCH and SMN

If you mean that little jumping up and down before her Shoulder Tackle (1:19), i think it was Featherfeed.

What does OP mean by "almost became" for Viera and Samurai?

Haven't been following the news so i'd like to know if it has been confirmed what the new jobs are.

[Mirakumi]

, i think it was Featherfeet.

True you could be right that it does look like Feather Foot. Just odd they would use a moveset that is being tossed out for being useless.
But your right it does look similar to featherfoot. o/

Before DRK came out* Yoshi stated they were about to make SAM but decided not to because Yoshi did not find SAM to be a Tank class. Don't remember the Viera talk though. o/

edit:
Here is the interview.
In terms of how fans reacted, it makes me think ‘so if we were to put in a Samurai, how is it going to play into the realm of Final Fantasy XIV? Would it be a tank? But that doesn’t seem to make sense because Samurai seems to be more of a DPS. Or if we were to go in the vein of a tank, wouldn’t it be a Shogun?’ those kind of thoughts start brewing in my head

It's also common knowledge that the dev team re-assesses their stances and makes changes that contradict what they once have said or done. Heck your point here is an example of that.

Alright then.... thanks for the update where I didn't see the keynote at the time.

For clarification on something the OP mentioned, It was between flying, swimming, or underground. (Before 2.0 it was between jumping, flying, swimming or climbing, with hints of swimming being the prefered option to take, but he didnt think climbing or swiming would be good additions to the game, and even thinks jumping wasnt that great, but would probably be good to add, to mimic WoW.)

While flying won, yoshida then said swimming or underground MIGHT be whats next. With strong hints he'd prefer to make underground probably because its way easier.
Later he also added the moon as a possible location we go to in the expansion, making the choices swim, underground, or moon, which he then was hinting more towards the moon. (this was announced back in 3.0)
