Last week in Las Vegas, Square Enix announcedFinal Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, the first expansion for the magically reanimated MMO. At this weekendâs Fan Festival in London, producer Naoki Yoshida showed off new flying mounts, a pair of new beast tribes and an eagerly awaited addition to the gameâs class roster.

Yoshida also revealed that a certain, unannounced flying mount was being made into a model to be included in the expansionâs Collectorâs Edition when it ships in Spring of 2015.
Then came two new beast tribes and the Primals they worship. The birdlike Vanu Vanu, worshipers of BismarckâŠ
âŠand giant creepy bugs, worshippers of an even bigger, creepier bug.
Finally we have the Dark Knight, one of the first new jobs announced for the expansion. Heavy hints at last weekâs event pretty much made this a given.
The Dark Knight is a tank class, wielding a two-handed sword and the power of dark magic. Unlike other more advanced jobs in the game, the Dark Knight has no prerequisite â one the player purchases Heavensward, they can be a Dark Knight.
Yoshida ended the eventâs keynote with a tease for the next new job, to be announced December 20 at the Japanese fan event in Tokyo. He removed his Batman (Dark Knight) t-shirt to reveal a 007 gun logo, making shooting motions with his fingers. Iâm going to completely ignore that last bit and say itâs Blue Mage.
You can check out the entire keynote presentation below, for as long as the video lasts â only folks at the event or those who had subscribed to the showâs premium stream (Yay I spent $20) could see it.
