Howdy everyone! We’ve got a new update fresh from the offical FFXIV website in the form of the Gladiator & Pugilist. From first looks, the Gladiator profession appears to be a cross of both a damage-dealing & tanking job. Specializing in both single & two-handed weapons, as well as shields and heavy armor, the Gladiator is primed to dish out the damage or take blows able to slay a lesser men. Meanwhile, the Pugilist profession portrays the role of the classic martial artist, dealing bone-crushing blows with various hand-to-hand weapons. Shunning the use of heavy armor, these martial masters are deft at evading blows & dishing out the hurt.
Also with this update came a first peek at some of the new weapons for the game. From blades to knuckles, shields to claws, these new weapons are sure to impress in both beauty and deadliness.
You can see the newest update for yourself live on the Final Fantasy XIV official website. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/

OMG more update pwez!
So what we have is a ‘Pup-onk’ and a ‘War-dark-adin’? :3 Meh… beta a.s.a.p. >_<
It’s not in that picture but it is on the website. .. If there was ONE THING S-E could have gotten rid of it’s the stupid cesti. Even those claws look pretty retarded.. Where is the Sai, Bo, Nunchaku, or Tonfa?? No thanks, we got weird blocks of wood strapped to our hands. lol
The developers have been playing too much FFXI to think that those things look cool, they don’t.. they never looked cool.. this is their chance to fix it.
S-E, for all that is holy give those martial art experts REAL martial arts weapons!
Yeah, I have to agree about the pugilist weapons. Well, I’d like them, it’s just that they’re comically huge. If they were, say, strapped to the hands, and fit on like a knuckle, MAYBE. But they’re these massive, awkward, horrendously unbalanced-looking things that are held by only a handle, with nothing else to stabilize. They just look silly and completely non-threatening.
That being said, still gonna rock the pugilist.
Hmm I agree, and I just realized something the name Pugilists…is that because in FFXI monks were so good at killing Pugils they just wanted to make a joke about it in 14? But, yeah I hate Cesti too, didn’t they learn from 11 that this would be a bad mistake for 14?
