Square-Enix Announces Next Expansion for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail


A Realm Reborn
The North American Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest began today, and as expected, producer and director Naoki Yoshida's keynote featured the announcement of the next expansion planned for the game:Dawntrail.

The theme of the expansion is "Summer Vacation", as the Warrior of Light and friends travel to what's been known previously as "The New World":Tural, an area located in the Far West. The premise for the Warrior of Light traveling there is an invitation to a contest that will help decide the next ruler of its hub city, Tuliyollal. The Scions will be pitted against each other during the contest--just who will be on the Warrior of Light's side?

Other revelations included:
  • Urqopacha, a mountainous region home to "peoples both exceedingly large and unusually small in nature."
  • Yak Tel, a forest region accessible by dirigible.
  • The Pelupelu, an allied tribe.
  • A level cap increase to 100.
  • Two new jobs, both DPS: one melee and one magical ranged caster.
  • A "whiteboard" feature which will let players plan raid strategies.
  • More details on the previously announced graphical update.
  • A cross-over event withFall Guys, including new content to the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy XIV.
  • The expansion of the free trial to now include the entirety ofStormblood.

There was one other huge announcement: the game is making its way to the Xbox Series X|S. Open beta will be in spring of 2024, before Dawntrail is released.

Here's the teaser trailer for your enjoyment:

AltheaValara A friend would yell at me for forgetting to add in the glamour announcement: soon you'll be able to use TWO DYES on your gear! So you'll be able to dye your gear two different colors.
