About Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV is a sprawling MMORPG that invites players to forge their own legend. Set five years after a devastating calamity, players join forces to rebuild and defend the realm from new threats. With a rich story, diverse classes, and a vibrant community, Final Fantasy XIV offers endless adventures for players of all stripes.
Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail Expansion Release Date
Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is set to launch on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024. However, eager players can jump in a few days earlier with Early Access starting on Friday, June 28th.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Collector’s Edition Details
Starting March 26th, players can secure their copy of the expansion and gain access to three glorious days of Early Access. Additionally, pre-ordering or grabbing the Collector’s Edition unlocks some delightful Final Fantasy IX-themed goodies:
- Wind-up Zidane Minion: A miniature version of Zidane Tribal, the iconic protagonist from Final Fantasy IX, to proudly display as your adventuring companion.
- Azeyma’s Earrings: These elegant earrings boast variable attributes that adapt to your chosen class and level. They also grant a helpful 30% EXP boost when defeating enemies up to level 90, but are restricted to Disciples of War or Magic classes and jobs.
Fresh Dungeons and Raids Await
The expansion wouldn’t be complete without fresh instanced content. New dungeons will be integrated into the main story and endgame, offering exciting challenges for players to conquer. Additionally, Dawntrail features two new raid series: Echoes of Vana’diel, a fascinating crossover raid taking players back to the world of Final Fantasy 11, and the Arcadion, shrouded in mystery for now.
Dual-Wielding Vipers and Magical Pictomancers
Two new DPS-focused jobs join the fray in Dawntrail: the Viper and the Pictomancer. Vipers are nimble melee fighters wielding twin swords, while Pictomancers unleash magical attacks channeled through their paintbrushes. Additionally, a new Limited Job, the Beastmaster, will be introduced, offering a unique leveling experience and specialized quests.
Dawntrail also introduces the Beastmaster, a limited job similar to the Blue Mage. This specialized role boasts a unique leveling system and dedicated quests, catering to players seeking a fresh challenge.
A New Continent Beckons
Dawntrail whisks players away from Eorzea to Tural, a vibrant land brimming with diverse cultures. Here, players will encounter new allies, confront formidable foes, and embark on unforgettable adventures. The level cap increases to 100, granting players new heights to reach in their character development.
With a new continent to explore, jobs to master, dungeons to conquer, and raids to overcome, Final Fantasy XIV : Dawntrail promises a wealth of content for players to delve into. Get ready to embark on a new adventure this July!
