Final Fantasy XIV London FanFest reveals Viper job, FF16 crossover, and more
Not even three months ago Square Enix Game Director Naoki Yoshida took the stage at the US Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival and revealed the upcoming Dawntrail expansion. Earlier today, Day 1 of the London Fan Festival kicked off and Yoshida returned to reveal more details about the expansion.
We already knew two jobs were on the way, but not what they were. Now we know one of the two is going to be the melee job Viper. The Viper dual-wields swords that can be combined into a single double sword as well. The class will share gear with the Ninja class. According to Yoshida, the Viper is an original class but took inspiration from Zidane from Final Fantasy IX. The Viper is designed to appeal to those who want a new dual-wield job that is not Ninja.
We also got a first look at some of the important locations in the upcoming Dawntrail expansion, including the new hub town: Tuliyollal. As you can see in the minute-long video, Tuliyollal looks like a tropical coastal town. Who’s ready for a vacation? We also got a look at two of the new areas, Yak’Tel and Urqopacha. One of the inhabitants is a new Allied Tribe, the Moblins. As the name suggests they share a resemblance to Goblins and will serve as a crafting and gathering Allied Tribe.
The new Alliance Raid in the Dawntrail expansion is Echoes of Vana’diel. The upcoming raid will be connected to the world of Final Fantasy XI. Yoshida said he couldn’t reveal too much about the raid just yet, but said it will be something that long-time FFXI fans will be able to truly enjoy.
