Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Heavensward Expansion Introduces New Race and Jobs

Square Enix has revealed new details for the previously announced Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Heavensward expansion at its Fan Festival in Tokyo. Players can expect a new race, jobs, and raid. The Au Ra race (pictured above) hails from the continent of Othard, and hasn’t appeared in any Final Fantasy game before. Players will be able to customize their horns, tails, and patches of scales on their skins. 

The first new job revealed is Astrologian, which is a healer class that uses the power of stars for healing and magicks.
