Me & Light were at the Tokyo Fan fest on Day 1, so we were there for the keynotes. I shall update on the festival when I get back! But meanwhile, the keynotes was spectacular! :D
Firstly, the new playable race:
Au Ra
Its like a type of dragon-human race. The males are much taller and bigger built that the females. I thought the males looked super cool (although its like Elezens finally went to the gym), and the females look like another type of mi'qote, which was quite alright i guess.
I told Light next they'll have some Lalafell-Rabbit hybrid race. That'll be super cute. You heard it here first. :P
Dark Knight
We've already know that the DK will be coming soon, and its a Tank class, wielding a 2-hand great sword. But look how intimidating an Au Ra looks in it! It just fits.
Astrologian
Everyone was speculating the new class would be a healer that uses guns. Afterall, Yoshida did show a gun in the previous key note. We all thought it would be a healer.
What a facial! I think everyone totally did not expect this. Astrologian. ahmygerddd....look at that Artifact armor..and the globe..with the spinny cards...me wantttt...
The cards are too pretty...<33
Though I'm pretty sure Astro will be like a scholar-type. It doesn't feel like it will have burst healing like a White mage. But I'm definitely trying this one out first.
Machinist
And we all were wondering if Yoshida will end it right there. I was thinking "Hmm? Hes not going to show the gunner class?" Out walks this man holding a toy gun, and tadaaa...Machinist.
I'm sure people with gun fetishes are excited..not so much for me ahaha.
You can hear it in the audience, everytime the gun bangs once, the audience will be "OOOAHH"
Not kidding you.
They even have their little turret!
Thats it for the new race, classes stuff. Next shown was Alexander. Light knows what this was before Yoshida said it. Tsk, little nerd. Its going to be the new raid after coil. So, wooo!
More flying mounts? Yes Please!
This is the new dragon mount, which comes with the Collector's edition, along with another Griffin mount, a dragon figurine, Cecil helm, Kain minion etc. Guess their CE sales have just skyrocketed.
