Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail Trailer, Pictomancer Job, Female Hrothgar, and More Revealed at Tokyo Fan Fest
Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Tokyo is currently underway and its keynote revealed such exciting things as the full Dawntrail trailer, a new Pictomancer job, and a look at the female Hrothgar playable race in action.
