Final Fantasy Explorers to Include Extra Jobs in the West
Plus: New hi-res looks at the many classes, characters, and more! 11.18.15 - 12:07 PM We've been waiting awhile for Final Fantasy Explorers – the 3DS title released in Japan last December – but it's almost here! Square Enix labels the title as "MMO-LITE," as gameplay is focused on party play, but without the complexities of a full MMO. Featuring over 20 classic Final Fantasy jobs, and a "Trance" ability that allows you to transform into most of the FF series' protagonists (except Zidane for some reason), there looks to be enough variety to keep things fresh for a long time. Square Enix announced today that the North American version will come bundled with two jobs that were only available as DLC in Japan: Blue Mage and Samurai. Long-time Final Fantasy fans will know that the Blue Mage can learn skills from enemies, giving them a unique arsenal of techniques in battle. Samurai, meanwhile, can deal "exceptionally high" damage. Take a look at these two classes here, and the full roster of jobs in the image below (click to enlarge): In addition to today's announcement, we have a whole bunch of new and updated character artwork for Final Fantasy Explorers, and clicking any of these will take you to the gallery with over three dozen new hi-res renders! We have everything from classic job attire like Dragoon and Beastmaster...
