Final Fantasy 14 Pictomancer job unveiled at Fan Fest

Square Enix has debuted the latest job coming to Final Fantasy 14.

During the opening keynote of Fan Fest in Tokyo, Japan, producer and director Naoki Yoshida revealed Pictomancer as the second of two new jobs arriving in the upcoming Dawntrail expansion.

According to Square Enix, “Pictomancer is a magical ranged DPS job that works in the medium of mixed aether, wielding a specialized brush to render their imaginings reality.”

Alongside the Pictomancer, a new playable race was also confirmed. The Female Hrothgar will debut in the upcoming expansion.

“The Hrothgar people hail from Ilsabard. A Turali people with shared ancestry, The Xbr’aal, call Yak T’el home. Females number relatively few among the population, but are readily identified by their lithe, muscular forms. Equally distinctive is their predisposition for leadership,” reads an official description of the race.

The beta for the long-awaited Xbox version of Final Fantasy 14 will begin next month.

Final Fantasy 14 will officially be launching on Microsoft‘s consoles in Spring 2024, but the open beta will be the first change for Xbox players to finally get their hands on the long-running MMO.

It was officially announced back in June that the game was coming to Series X and S, when Xbox boss Phil Spencer made a surprise appearance at the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Las Vegas.

According to Xbox, the Series X version of the game will support 4K graphics, while both the Series X and Series S versions will benefit from fast loading times.

The Expanded Free Trial, which is available on PC and PlayStation consoles, will also be applicable on Xbox too.
