Looks to me like some kind of new beastman. Mostly because of the humaniod appearance. I expect we will know more soon.



Found this on the FF11 Photo II Site.

The capital of Mamool Ja, Mamook was built deep in a forest on a peninsula west of the Aht Urhgan Empire.
In order to control parasite infestations, the wooden structures that cover the capital are burned down and rebuilt every few years. Therefore, much of the construction in Mamook appears rather crude. Like the Mamool Ja's equipment, the few intricate decorative metals in the area were created by prisoners taken by Mamook. Furthermore, sacred stones situated in each area of the capital are believed to harbor the spirits of fallen Mamool Ja heroes and protect Mamook from evil.

This highly treacherous area is legendary for stranding many a ship. It is for that reason that Arrapago Reef became the final bastion for a kingdom that was destroyed by an attack from Aht Urhgan. It is said that the kingdom's immense treasures still rest in the coastal caverns. However, the Lamiae are currently using the reef as their stronghold, guarded by the sleepless undead. Infiltrating Arrapago Reef would be no easy task.

The Mamool Ja are a group of beastmen that hold dominion over the Mamool Ja Savagelands, a land hostile to the Near Eastern Aht Urhgan Empires
Referring to themselves as the Mamool Ja, meaning "brethren of the shining scale," the inhabitants of the Savagelands are orgainzed into four biologically different classes that consist of warriors, aquatics, sages, and knights. The Mamool Ja have been paying tribute to the Aht Urhgan Empire since ages past, and are known for their republican form of government. Their nation is ruled by a council of four overlords, one selected from each class. The Savagelands' recent uprising against the empire seems connected to the emergence of a prominent leader known as the "The Autarch."

lol.... this is SE, remember? We play a game where the same set of abj armor that has been out for 2+ years is still the most wanted armor in the game.

The CoP wyrms then came out and don't even have guarenteed drops for the work put into them. You find a fire crystal on Tiamat.

Yeah maybe having the monsters drop something relative to the challenge of the fight might be too much to ask from SE.

Yeah I was going to say what Shuichi said but he beat me to the punch. Id put money on the fact that the strange sounding jobs are probably new jobs that the new beastmen use.

Taken from BG forums
Translation taken from PandyTymora on Allah:

The beastmen who lives in the area of Aht Urghan have formed an independent Barbarian nation of Mamool Ja and is currently at war with the Empire of Aht Urghan.

The nation of Mamool Ja is organized into 4 ranks, warrior, marines, sages and knights and is a republic ruled by a council of chosen representatives from each rank. These representatives are called the "4 Heavenly Kings of Mamool Ja".

Although they used to pay tribute to the more powerful Empire of Aht Urghan, they rebelled seemingly because of the appearance of an dictator of exceptional abilities known as "Senshu(Warrior King)"...


Sounds interesting to say the least.

Knight is actually PLD (at least the JP translation) I lot of JP PLD refer themselves as Knight.

Sage and Marine... will be the 2 open to debate

The new zones with the exception of the pirate ship yard dont look new at all really.
Mamool Ja looks like Davoi kinda, the cave looks like SSG, etc.
