It seems like they're trying some graphical upgrades which will change the game requirements on PC. Is that person shown in the picture a new playable race or no? Also the game was announced for Xbox consoles, too - expect many people to join for the first time.

People have been speculating that shirt could mean one of two things (or maybe both, who knows)

  1. That it's a class that will use scouting gear (sharing it with ninja).
  2. Green mage (but since a buff/debuff wouldn't work, specially since it most likely have to be a magic dps class, it would have to be something really different, maybe a DoT class?)

The first one is the most likely. And since this is an expansion themed around adventures on a new world, traveling through the high seas, we could be seeing a pirate/corsair themed class, but that's just my opinion.

I've seen another theory that the TMNT are named after 4 famous artists. Would could be getting a painter style class..

That would be really cool. The good thing about this expansion is that since it's set on the new world; who knows what types of magic have developed there, we already have "blue magic" which is a really "weird" type of magic, so "pictomancy" could be a possibility.

And now that I think about it, "Blitzball" (ranged dps) could totally be a thing; they could mix elements of FFX'x blitzball with the Mesoamerican ball game (the mayans even called it "pitz" so the names kinda fit)

You just got my hopes up for a possible Blitzball minigame in the expansion.
