Final Fantasy 14 is giving all players a free Fantasia during Dawntrail to help them adapt to the new graphics update coming in the expansion. While the exact details are still being worked out, all Final Fantasy 14 fans can expect to get one of these cash shop items for free later this year.
New FFXIV Pictomancer Caster Class Announced For Dawntrail Expansion
07.01.2024 - 01:40 / mmorpg.com / Naoki Yoshida
After fans held their breath for months, the Final Fantasy 14 team has announced the new class for the upcoming Dawntrail expansion: the Pictomancer.
This new caster (or technically, “magical ranged DPS”) class can paint a variety of things—not just other creatures or people. The ‘painting’ of the brush like one would on a canvas invokes different spells, almost like a wand. It’s described as not being so DPS-heavy, but it’s not entirely a support class (assumedly like, for instance, Dancer or Bard would be).
Officially translated, the Pictomancer: “Works in the medium of mixed aether, wielding a specialized brush to render their imaginings reality. These creations include not only creatures and weapons, but landscapes as well. As evoking such wonders takes time, the Pictomancer also keeps insta-cast abilities and spells at the ready.”

This is all shown as pretty lively and upbeat, with colors erupting into the sky, though there’s no combat shown in this trailer. Director Naoki Yoshida mentioned that Krile had little role in previous expansions in combat (even having been kidnapped in one), so it’s definitely a pivot for her.
Technically, Pictomancer isn’t a new job to the Final Fantasy universe, though it seems like the FFXIV version will have its own spin on it. In Final Fantasy 6, the Pictomancer specifically only drew foes, recreating them in reality for allied forces. We can also assume from this that there’ll be a lot of FF6 references in Dawntrail , as this is a pretty deep cut.
The Pictomancer will be available to players with Dawntrail at level 80—meaning you can dive into the Dawntrail story with it if you’d like. The other class, Viper, was announced at the European FanFest in London this past October . This “scouting” class will be a dual-wielder with blades that combine into one, and is the featured class for “Meteor,” the default FFXIV warrior of light shown on cover art.
Both Pictomancer and Viper classes in FFXIV will be playable when FFXIV: Dawntrail launches this summer.

Final Fantasy 14's director says the Dawntrail expansion will be a 'second rebirth' similar to A Realm Reborn
Way before I sunk hundreds of hours into Final Fantasy 14, I watched it die and eventually return with A Realm Reborn in 2013. The major rework of FF14's entire world was a critical moment for the MMO that shaped the next 11 years of the game. The most recent expansion, Endwalker, was still tying up loose ends that originated in that rebuilt foundation.

Final Fantasy XIV’s Dawntrail expansion brings the paint-powered Pictomancer job and more!
Are you ready to lose a large chunk of your life? Final Fantasy XIV has been a ridiculously rewarding time-sink since A Realm Reborn revitalised the MMORPG in 2013, and Naoki Yoshida and his team seem to have designs on a few more hundred hours of your time with the upcoming Dawntrail expansion, due to arrive this summer. As we make our way towards that hot and humid time of year, Square Enix are dripfeeding us with information to keep us slavering at our screens, and this weekend’s announcement showcases the all-new Pictomancer job class. In keeping with the vibrant reveal, the Pictomancer is a magical ranged DPS job that works in the medium of mixed aether, wielding a specialised brush to render their imaginings reality. So they’re painting their way to maximum damage, which sounds pretty awesome.
