Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s new Beastmaster limited job explained Square EnixFinal Fantasy XIV\u2019s new limited job, Beastmaster, was officially unveiled at Tokyo Fan Fest this weekend. Here\u2019s a deeper look at just what the new job will feature. Final Fantasy XIV is often praised by its fans for incorporating a lot of unique community features into an MMO. From deep dungeon crawls to large-scale crafting content, there\u2019s a style of play for everyone in FFXIV. Now with Dawntrail on the horizon, one of the game\u2019s popular features, the limited job system, will be getting an upgrade in the form of a new job for players to sink their teeth into. Announced at Fan Fest Tokyo, the new limited job, Beastmaster, will arrive during the Dawntrail post-patch cycles. Giving players the chance to live out their Pok\u00e9mon dreams on Hydaelyn. Unlike the main jobs in FFXIV, limited jobs don\u2019t reach the game\u2019s level cap. Instead, they cap out 10 levels below max. The game\u2019s current limited job, Blue Mage, usually receives a level boost in an expansion\u2019s post-patches. With the Endwalker post-patches bringing its level cap up to 80. According to the game\u2019s producer, Naoki Yoshida, fans can expect to see Beastmaster later in the Dawntrail 7.X patch cycle, rather than on the expansion\u2019s launch. Judging from the teasers, it looks like the new job shares notable similarities with the Beastmaster class from Final Fantasy V and XI, but just how they\u2019ll capture and control the game\u2019s mobs to use them in combat is anyone\u2019s guess right now. Still, we do know some things thanks to its status as a \u201climited job\u201d. FXXIV\u2019s current limited job, Blue Mage, is one of the game\u2019s most powerful jobs. Its gimmick is much like the abilities of the Blue Mage in other Final Fantasy titles learning and using spells from the game\u2019s monsters \u2014 including bosses. With such a high power level to account for, players running Blue Mage are subject to some restrictions, to ensure gameplay remains balanced for everyone. As a limited job, we can expect Beastmaster to face the same restrictions. Meaning players will be unable to use the job for any Main Scenario Quests, to queue for Duty Roulettes. Limited jobs can\u2019t be played in PvP or deep dungeons either. However, players can go into dungeons or trials with pre-made groups, as well as with unrestricted parties \u2014 that\u2019s groups that are usually considered too small to queue for the content. Over the years since its release, FFXIV players have used the Blue Mage limited job to achieve some pretty impressive feats. Like solo-clearing some of the game\u2019s toughest content and making millions of in-game currency in a matter of hours. So, while Beastmaster won\u2019t be a main job, it\u2019s sure to provide plenty of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
