FF14 041813

New screenshots for Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn have appeared online, showing the Archer, Gladiator, Lancer, Marauder, Pugilist, Conjurer, and Thaumaturge classes. If you head over to NeoGAF, you will also see shots of the jobs Bard, Dragoon, Monk, Paladin, Warrior, Black Mage, and White Mage. The game is looking rather lovely, and if you head below, you will be able to watch a developer gameplay walkthrough video (thanks, EdNorton). Better grab something to drink and run a few errands first – it’s two hours long. Hopefully, you understand Japanese as well. A Realm Reborn is a complete remake of Final fantasy 14 currently in beta and is slated for PC and PS3 later this year.

20130123_final_fantasy_14_a_realm_reborn

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn features the very latest incarnations of familiar summons. The new design of Shiva has been revealed over on the developer blog, showing our lady of diamond dust in fine form but not a heck of a lot of clothing. Still, she makes up for it with multiple unicorn horns. Or should that be multicorns? A Realm Reborn is a total overhaul of the troubled MMORPG, and is expected to launch early this year on PC and PlayStation 3.

Thanks, Siliconera.

In a new developer blog for Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn, we get a glimpse of work-in-progress chocobo barding. Look at that shizzle.

This will be the final alpha test for the MMO, but the development team is considering leaving the worlds open until the end of the year.
