The new Job coming to Final Fantasy 14 in next expansion Dawntrail has now been revealed: the Pictomancer.
The announcement was made at the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Tokyo this weekend, along with new details about Dawntrail.
Unfortunately there's still no release date for the expansion beyond 'summer 2024'. Director and producer Naoki Yoshida stated there's an internal target date, but it's not public yet due to previous expansion Endwalker being delayed before its release. «We don't want that to happen again, even if it's just a few weeks,» he said.
In his keynote speech, Yoshida explained more about the new Job and revealed the new extended trailer for Dawntrail you can watch below.
You may remember at the Las Vegas Fan Fest Yoshida wore a t-shirt featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a clue to the forthcoming two Jobs. The first was Viper, revealed at the London event. Now the second is Pictomancer — after all, the Turtles are named after famous artists.
Pictomancer is a ranged, magical DPS Job who battles with a paintbrush and palette. The Job originates from Final Fantasy 6 where Relm was able to draw enemy techniques. In Final Fantasy 14, the skill is broader with the ability to paint creatures, weapons and landscapes.
A video of the Pictomancer in action shows various coloured instant-cast abilities as well as more elaborate effects — at one point the character summons a Moogle. The Job will also have magic to buff the party, though this is not strictly a support Job.

For the record, we didn’t plan two stories about items you can get for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to come in back-to-back days. Life decided to have a little fun with us, and we don’t mind. Yesterday, we discussed how Square Enix Reward Program members could get a special glitter globe featuring the Gold Saucer from the upcoming RPG. It was cute and adorable, and we’re sure some of you have already subscribed to the program so you can get it or are cashing in points to ensure you get it. But, if you’re looking for something a bit more “substantial,” then perhaps Amazon is where you go to get the game.
When it comes to video games, many who play them don’t just want the “memories” of playing them; they want items in the real world that’ll help them remember those memories in a different way. Pre-order items are a big deal in this respect, as people will pay out the nose to get unique items that can only be bought through these special deals. Square Enix decided to up the ante with the upcoming release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth by offering its Reward Members the chance to get a special glitter globe featuring the Gold Saucer from the upcoming title.
With the 2024 Toyko Fan Fest in the books, Final Fantasy 14 released Patch 6.55, Growing Light Part 2, which brought the story of the Endwalker expansion and several side quests to a close.
