The short version
- Plus Square Enix confirms Final Fantasy 14 has passed 35m registered accounts.
- Producer and director Naoki Yoshida revealed the job during the opening keynote of the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival 2026 in Tokyo.
- Zephyr pairs crossbow shots with support from an avian familiar called Nephele, and joins Bastion, the greatshield-wielding tank revealed as Evercold's first new job at Fan Festival Berlin earlier this year.
What happened
Pre-orders for Evercold and the previously announced Collector's Box open on Wednesday 4th November at 9am GMT. Anyone who pre-orders gets early access, plus a Wind-Up Köttr minion and Halone's Earring, which boosts EXP from defeating enemies by 30 percent.
Why it matters
The in-game items are delivered as soon as you pre-order, so you can use the earring to level jobs before Evercold arrives.
