I think this is the first time Meteor has spent the entirety of the trailer as the new job? I know he was partially a samurai for Stormblood but there was still a little more focus on monk.
Also I know they've been saying that it's a job that's entirely new to the series as of XIV but I still can't stop thinking of Zidane when they go from dual-wielding swords to Darth Maul swords, especially since it shares gear with ninja.

Has FFXIV officially passed Avengers on the crossover tiers yet? I feel like it should have; if nothing else it doesn't leave its audience bizarrely media illiterate and allergic to emotional sincerity the way the MCU does.
Either way the goodest of boys being involved the way he is is the only proper way to do this particular bit and I approve.

Honestly what I'm most interested of this Fanfest's reveals is that the Echoes of Vana’diel being the alliance raids. How much of XI's history are they gonna mine for this? There's a fuckload of it! 20 years of it!
I guess it looks like they're leaning more toward XI's heyday what with the Moblins and Mamool Ja (the XIV version of the latter admittedly already an established thing), but I will still die on the hill that Rhapsodies of Vana'diel is the most underrated narrative in the entire franchise.
