E3 2014:FFXIV New Classes & Jobs: Rogue and Ninja Reveals

By John Ryan2014-06-11

 

After all three days of E3 Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn producer Naoki Yoshida live streams, a huge announcement is on FFXIV new classes.

In the upcoming 2.4 patch, FFXIV: A Realm Reborn will get a new class/job combo. The long awaited Rogue and Ninja class/job will make its way to the game. Although the Ninja was commonly played as a tank in Final Fantasy XI-although it wasn't intended to be that way-it will be a pure DPS in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. The same applies to Rogue.

Both are dexterity focused, take less fall damage, and have fast movement speed. They also have a stealth mechanic affording them the ability to choose their battles unlike any other classes or jobs in the game. Lastly, they use poison for additional damage on their daggers.

Since the Gladiator is already capable of wielding a dagger, chances are Square Enix will modify the items to ensure that only Rogues and Ninjas are capable of equipping them. Also, it's worth noting that despite Rogue typically being the single-handed dagger user in previous Final Fantasy games, it'll dual-wield them just like the Ninja in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. You won't have to farm for two weapons, though. The daggers will be considered a single item in your inventory.

There was also a gun-oriented class or job teased a couple months ago. Chances are it'll either be revealed this week, or has been pushed beyond a 2.4 release.Before 2.4 arrives along with the Rogue and Ninja, 2.3 will release sometime later this month or in July. It'll add a new scenario starring Yda, Crystal Tower Part 2, a Ramuh Primal Battle, and tons more.

The news made me so excited, I'm totally leveling a Ninja the day it comes out. See you in the FFXIV: A Realm Reborn game.
