Final Fantasy XIV Online – Dawntrail: new “pictomancer” job – new “hrothgar women” playable race

At the FINAL FANTASY™ XIV Fan Festival 2024 in Tokyo, SQUARE ENIX® announced that it has surpassed the 30 million mark of registered players worldwide for FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, the critically acclaimed MMORPG. Exclusive information from the fifth expansion Dawntrail™, scheduled for summer 2024, was also shared during the event.

At the opening ceremony, producer and director Naoki Yoshida revealed the second new job in the Dawntrail expansion: the pictomancer. This remote magic DPS is a wielder of pictorial magic capable of materializing his ideas with a paintbrush. Naoki Yoshida also introduced the expansion’s new playable race: female hrothgars.

Following this, the final Dawntrail trailer was broadcast, much to the delight of attendees. It can be viewed here :

• New job – the pictomancer: this wielder of pictorial magic brings his ideas to life with the tip of his brush. His imagination can bring anything to life: weapons, creatures and even landscapes. Such invocations require a certain amount of preparation time, so the pictomancer keeps instant spells and abilities at hand.

• New playable race – Hrothgar women: Hrothgars are normally native to Ilsabard. However, fierce hunters from Yak T’el in the Tural, the Xbr’aal, share a common ancestor with the island population. Women are few and far between in this tribe, but are recognizable by their athletic bearing. They are also born leaders.

Announced at the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival 2023 in London, the “Primordial Flames” quest series, the result of collaboration with FINAL FANTASY XVI, will be available in early April 2024.

The open beta of the Xbox Series X|S version of FINAL FANTASY XIV will be accessible in February, before the official release of the port scheduled for spring 2024. Xbox gamers will finally be able to join the great family of Warriors of Light!

Update 6.55 will be released on Tuesday January 16. It will include a myriad of new features, including the conclusion of the Endwalker epic with the second part of the “Growing Light” chapter, the continuation of the rocky adventures of the “Hildibrand, the Return” series and a new challenge called “The Golden Temple of Araya”. The adventure continues in Dawntrail in summer 2024.
