Dark Knight class, flying mounts revealed for Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward
Last weekend at the London Fan Festivial for Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida introduced some of the new elements that can be found in Heavensward, the newly revealed expansion for the MMORPG.
First up are the addition of flying mounts which enable players explore the floating landmasses to be found in the expansion areas of the game. At this point two types of flying mounts were revealed: a flying black chocobo and single-rider airships.
This first new class to be revealed for Heavensward is the Dark Knight, a unit that serve as a tank, wielding a two-handed greatsword and darkness-based abilities. Finally, two new beast tribes were revealed, the Vanu Vanu and the Gnath, as well as their primals, Bismarck, and Ravana, respectively.
More details, and more jobs will be revealed at the next Fan Festival event, taking place in Tokyo on December 20 – 21. Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward launches next spring. Check out some images in the gallery below.
