Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Expansion Teaser Trailer

Hype!  :dance:

 

Is that a Red Mage? Dancer? Whatever it is I'm digging the new class.  :yay:

 

 

We’re going to Ala Mhigo! The story will revolve around freeing Ala Mhigo from the Garlean Empire. Does the new generation of Ala Mhigans welcome or shun the Empire? It’s complicated. The focus now will shift back to the Empire – toward the occupying ruler of Ala Mhigo – Zenos Yae Galvus.

The focus now will shift back to the Empire – toward the occupying ruler of Ala Mhigo – Zenos Yae Galvus. Who is this woman (in red)? She’ll be revealed in the coming months. The Warrior of Light has job changed to Monk! Rhalgr’s Reach, where the trailer takes place, is the base of the Ala Mhigan Resistance – its where the story begins.

Regarding new jobs, Yoshida takes off his jacket and shows off a Scarlet Witch shirt. Perhaps something to do with Red…

The Level Cap will raise from 60 to 70 for all jobs. The team is planning to revamp the battle system to address old and new actions. Actions will be grouped by role rather than Job. The user interface will also be revamped where job-specific buffs like the Dragoon’s “Blood of the Dragon” will be easier to see than looking at the buff bar.

New areas will be introduced in Stormblood — it won’t just be desert areas because it’s toward Ala Mhigo. New dungeons, raids, and a fourth residential area will be added. New primals will be added, including Final Fantasy favorites and ones original to Final Fantasy XIV. New dungeons, alliance raids, and high-end raids will arrive too. They’ve been thinking on the feedback from previous raids regarding difficulty modes which will manifest in how Stormblood raids will be designed. Flying mounts will be able to fly in Stormblood areas, but you’ll need to collect Aether Currents first like in Heavensward — the team wants you to explore and experience these areas on foot first.

A new area called Forbidden Land Eureka will be a new type of area to explore — perhaps you’ll run into Notorious Monsters here. The team also hints this area will involve building a new relic-type weapon.

Inventory expansion will also come with Stormblood, and the team is working around the clock to make it as massive as humanly possible. However, this will be tricky, so the team may need to stagger the launch of the expansion for it to work. More details will be revealed later.

Support for the PlayStation 3 version will end, but Sony and Square Enix will team up for an upgrade campaign where it will be free (aside from buying an actual PlayStation 4). Minimum specs for the Windows PC version will also be raised to provide the best experience for Stormblood.

We’ll be updating this post as details develop — stay tuned!

It's a dancer definitely..

 

We already know that Red Mages may use swords (Rapier to be more precise) in FFXIV.

 

Alisaie in the last patch shown this when she drew a rapier out of her grimoire and used magic to attack with it.


I guess it makes sense since Heavensward was all about Dragoons and now Stormblood focuses on Monks. I can see it now monks are going to be broken in this game.  :lol: 

 

No, these are new classes.. MNKs do not dance around like that. :P

That is one nice-looking trailer, it almost makes me want to play this game ... almost.

They could be Dancing Monks :awesome:.

 

If they add on secondary classes to already available jobs.. that would be awesome. :o

 

Actually cross that, DRG already has 25+ moves in rotation.

 

Edit; I know what it could be.. It could be that Pugilist gets split job roles like Arcanist does with Summoner/Scholar.. so it may be Monk/Dancer.  It would make sense.

Yes! I wish my Bard could ditch her support abilities and become a full-on DPS artillery. Like a sub job advancement option.  D:

Please remove Wanderer's Minuet from Bard. Set me free.

No, Bard will always be a support class, you don't play Bard to DPS in this game. :P If you wanted DPS, you would have went DRG/MNK or SMN. :P Even MCH is better at DPS but is still support also.

Ah ok, I totally get it now.

That's an FFXIV player's comic. xD

I know what you're thinking right now: Is Dragon just messing with me or is he extremely lucky to post that FFXIV-related image while not getting it for real? Since you like to make us guess the Sig Battle theme, it's your turn to guess :lol:.

 

You lucked out. :P

I seriously need to finish the Heavensward game :(  I'm way behind the 3.4 patch...But the great news is there's gonna be new expansion that focuses on Monks, and it's my second main class. :D

 

 

That is one nice-looking trailer, it almost makes me want to play this game ... almost.

 

 

You should play it, it's an unstoppable game and you will love it! :D

I can't wait!  I thought Dancer would be a cross between Ninja and Bard, but if she is a Dancer than who knows?  Either way I'm probably not going to advance the story for a couple of days when the Expansion hits because I'll be too busy leveling up the Dancer.
