Really, no free update? I guess Bandai/From wants to fleece their most enfranchised players. Admittedly I'm one of those players and it's going to work on me. I'm more excited for the two new starting classes, but is that still going to be a thing? I can only find mentions of that on 3rd party sites and nothing recent or official. Yes, it's still going to be a thing; those who can read have a clear advantage: link to the section in the press release.


From the press kit.

Lucatiel's armor in the Farum Azula opening looks pretty cool.
