Firstly, new information and screens were given about the new character to the game, Nooj. This character is the leader of the Young Allies, which is an organization rivaling the New Yevon Order in power. Before that, Nooj had fought within the Suppression Corps, where he earned the nickname “die-hard”. Known as a reckless man, he is known to say things such as ”It’s my life, I’ll do as I want to”.
In the new game there will be Chocobos. This time around they’ll be able to board airships like the Celsius- A feature that’ll add a lot of last ability will also be featured - You’ll have the ability to breed your Chocobos, including to feed, buy food/veggies, breed, info, recover, restock food, exchange, release, and discover them.
Lastly, Square released information on the series' return to job classes. The currently announced jobs are Gunner, Warrior, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, Dark Knight, Gambler, and Song Princess/Pop Star.
FFX-2 varies many of these abilities by what your character decides to wear. Ability Points earned in battle will power these up, and the game's menus will show a completion percentage next to each individual's dresses and jobs. You can even earn abilities during battle.
Unlike many games, the main characters will change appearance based on their job, at least in battle. It’s as such in our last update with pictures of Rikku dressed as a black mage. This is a good change, meaning you’ll be able to give those less qualified strong characters the job to be a Dark Knight, giving the character strong attack skills, and even the awesome leech power.
Here is a sample of the abilities that each class learns:
Gunner:
- Fight: Basic starting ability.
- Power Shot: Hits an enemy every time.
- Magic Shot
- Burst Shot
- Hard Shot
- Reverse Shot
- Blind Guard: Guards against the Blind ailment

Dark Knight:
- Darkness: Leeches HP from a character but deals it in damage to target.

White Mage:
- Cure: Unlike FFX, cure can now be cast on your entire party or a single member.
