The first new Final Fantasy 14 job of Evercold has been revealed, and it’s a tank called the Bastion that blends high fantasy and mechanical aesthetics.
As part of the European leg of Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest, producer and director Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has taken to the stage once more to continue the drip feed of what’s coming to the MMO in its next expansion. In this case, Final Fantasy 14 Evercold.
Back at the American leg of Fan Fest, we found out that Final Fantasy 14 would be getting two new jobs in Evercold – something for tank fans, something for DPS fans. Yoshi-P also revealed that these new classes would be something new to the Final Fantasy series, so no throwbacks here.

Now, we know what one of them is. As part of a new trailer, Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy is getting a new tank job that not only has a shield on each arm, but can also fire ’em both off as guns.
Our first glimpse of the new job in action came from an extended version of the Evercold trailer, which opened the Berlin Fan Fest keynote.
While Yoshi-P did appear in his cosplay to further tease the job, we had to wait just a little while longer for some more details, and it was worth it.
We first see a glimpse of some of its moves, blending up-close-and-personal combat with the ability to fire off its weapons from a bit of a distance. From vibes alone, it looks like it’ll hit like a truck.
If you’re keen to start Evercold as the Bastion, you’ll want to make sure you’re level 90 and around Limsa when the expansion releases in January 2027.

The job news might not be a total surprise to some clever Final Fantasy 14 fans. As is tradition, Yoshi-P teased what jobs were to come with a t-shirt he made everyone aware of at the last Fan Fest. Now, the t-shirts aren’t typically an obvious giveaway. For Dawntrail, Yoshi-P wore a Ninja Turtles t-shirt to tease the upcoming artist job. It wasn’t to tease that some sort of Ninja job was on the way – that’d be too obvious, and the MMO already has it – rather, the clue was that each turtle is named after an artist.
For Evercold, we got a picture of A Realm Reborn antagonist Rhitahtyn sas Arvina with a ‘guess who’s back’ caption above it. Fans quickly assumed this was leading us to the tank job, with theories ranging from something obvious like a gunshield user to grander theories – like something hammer-based due to Ritahtyn sas Arvina’s name translating to “judge” in the Roegadyn language. And, of course, the expansion being Norse themed.
Amusingly, Yoshi-P himself said that some fans already guessed what the jobs were back in Anaheim. Naturally, he didn’t confirm which guesses were correct.
Regardless, that’s one job down, and some were, of course, correct. When the Japan leg of Final Fantasy 14 comes around, we’ll find out the other. Final Fantasy 14’s Evercold expansion releases in January 2027.
Final Fantasy 14’s Third Walk raid starts with FF11’s most infamous boss being bodied in a cutscene because a raid designer wanted to show off the true strength of your first foe.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
