New preview / screenshots from 2.2Follow

Haha I was just kinda joking with my post but after seeing the replies to it, I think it would be cool if npcs could change their class and it wasn't just window dressing. Would make me feel like my fellow npc scions were growing with me. I guess we'll know once the patch hits. If Thancred fights with us and has a new duel wielding stance it could be a hint for a future class for us.

EDIT: Another thing I just thought of is if you started in Ul'Dah and have completed the quests where he fights with you, regardless of what he may say (idr if he calls himself a brd here or back in 1.0) his skill set is that of gladiator with him having the rage of halone combo. Could be his potential new job could hint at a second job branch for gladiator....but now I'm just grasping at straws.

Imagine all the cross marketing possibilities with introducing their new Thief game and Thief job in XIV!

Also, here comes the guns, do doot do do

He did, but he's also been referred to as a "scholar" at one point. I wouldn't be surprised if he's neither of those jobs primarily, but something more combat based after all.

Someone already posted what I was saying missed it in first read through. I also saw Thancred with a dagger on each hip.

He's definitely a bard but due to there being no actual bard in the game (archer with songs doesn't count), much like the Bard Moogle from 1.x, they share skill set with another class. All of the NPCs are dual classes in order to make sure they nor you die in the instances they show up in.

Yes, yes: I understand Valk. :P We all want one job or another!

That is why....IT'S A RDM!!!ONE!ELEVEN!!

It looks like Yugiri is a Thief Viera preview of 3.0. Assuming thf, since is the only Job in the game we still haven't seen an NPC with. While Thf was introduced with the Moogle fight we haven't seen any more. She is definitely a Viera though. And I thought we were supposed to be getting hints on the expansion soon, and this screams expansion area.

As for Gilgimesh's pet being a chicken... here's to hoping that means we can win the Chicken Knife from him!!! II want the Bah-ghawks!!!

On a side note, they will most likely give out a fantasia when the Viera are introduced to allow existing players to change if they want.

Well, we do already have horns with the Padjal...

Again, haven't you ever heard of a lop-eared bunny?

I actually think the fact that her ears are down is an indication she's trying to hide her identity as... whatever race she actually is.

Still no love for the Bangaa.

:(

They need to make Moogles a playable race. Outside of the Tactics games, I don't think there's been a playable Moogle character since VI.

There's certainly some charm in EverQuest. No wonder you think of it so fondly.
