Big news for Final Fantasy 14 players, as the developers just revealed the first new job coming with the upcoming Evercold expansion. It's called the Bastion, a main tank class that truly breaks the mold, combining a viking aesthetic with dual shields that double as laser cannons and even feature retractable claws. This unique "skyltborg" weapon system allows them to block, shoot, and stab, showcasing some incredibly over-the-top animations in the teaser, which even saw Yoshi-P himself in full cosplay. Apparently, this class will only be playable within a new "evolved mode" battle system, a significant change launching alongside the expansion in January 2027. Honestly, a concept this wild and creative has me genuinely excited for how it will shake up the tank meta, despite the considerable wait we have ahead.
