The Bastion is Final Fantasy 14’s first new job for Evercold, a hulking tank with a shield and gun on each arm

Final Fantasy 14 developer Square Enix has revealed The Bastion, a new tank job coming with the Evercold expansion, described as a hulking character wielding a shield on one arm and a gun on the other. The reveal marks the game's first job announcement for the upcoming expansion, giving players an early look at how the tank role will evolve and offering a fresh playstyle for the long-running MMO's growing job roster.

Details remain limited beyond the job's name and its distinctive dual shield-and-gun design, which sets it apart visually and mechanically from Final Fantasy 14's existing tank options such as Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight and Gunbreaker. Further specifics on abilities, mechanics and release timing are expected to follow as Square Enix continues to unveil more about the Evercold expansion.
