All major highlights of Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest Tokyo

Pictomancer Job

The Pictomancer is one of the jobs revealed for the Dawntrail expansion, with Viper being the other one that was previously announced at the Final Fantasy 14 London Fan Fest. This job assumes the role of a ranged caster that utilizes mixed aether to render imaginary creatures, weapons, and landscapes into reality.

While most of its abilities require casting time, it overcomes this caveat during challenging moments by utilizing a few instant-cast abilities and spells. Unlike the Red Mage or Summoner, this job doesn't possess a resurrection ability; rather, it serves as a hybrid between support roles and the Black Mage.

Here is a little synopsis of the Pictomancer in Final Fantasy 14:

  • Role: Magical Ranged DPS
  • Weapon: Brush
  • Required Class: None
  • Starting Level: 80
  • Starting Location: Gridania

New city - Solution Nine

While all the locations shown previously were in rural landscapes, glimpses of a cyberpunk-type cityscape were shown at Fan Fest Tokyo. It was constructed by a completely different civilization than the ones players have encountered so far. The mystery surrounding this new city, Solution Nine, is for players to uncover in this new expansion.


New allied tribes

Hanu Hanu is the new allied tribe in the Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail expansion, including a diverse population of Mamool Ja. As Moblins were one of the other beast tribes introduced in the London Fan Fest that specialized in gathering materials, Hanu Hanu may be one of the combat tribes of this new expansion.
