FFXIV Dawntrail Trailer We finally have the full trailer for FFXIV Dawntrail, which was fully revealed at the Japanese Fan Fest in 2024. MSQ and Locations in FFXIV Dawntrail As showcased in the teaser trailer for the expansion, it seems that the Warrior of Light and friends will be traveling to Wuklomat\u2019s homeland, the land of Yok Tural. According to the keynote, The Warrior of Light will be asked to aid in a rite of succession to help determine Tural\u2019s next ruler. Accompanied by Alisaie, Alphinaud, and Erenville, they\u2019ll travel across the Indigo Deep, little do they know that most of the Scions are already there. The New World will offer a bunch of new zones for players to explore and progress the main story through. The FFXIV team has revealed 3 new zones that will be coming in Dawntrail, as well as one of the tribes that inhabit the land. These are the forests of Yak T\u2019el, the southern side of Yok Tural, Urqopacha, and the newest hub city of Tuliyollal. New Jobs in FFXIV Dawntrail Dawntrail will also bring two new jobs into the fray for FFXIV. These have been confirmed to be both DPS classes with a melee and a ranged magic class. The first job we know will be in Dawntrail is the melee DPS job Viper. Viper will run off the Dexterity trait and will share the same armor as Ninja. Weapons-wise Viper wields twin blades which they can combine to deal high damage blows. Japan\u2019s Fan Fest for 2024 revealed the second DPS class for Dawntrail, the Pictomancer. Hailing from Final Fantasy 6, the Pictomancer will be the 4th ranged magic class to join the MMO, featuring a paintbrush that can deal damage whilst buffing and supporting their allies. Level cap increase in FFXIV Dawntrail Like previous expansions, Dawntrail will increase the level cap up to 100 for players who own the expansion. This means all currently existing jobs will also receive new actions and abilities as they level up, including combat and crafter and gatherer jobs. FFXIV Dawntrail expansion brings new content In terms of content, players can look forward to the same form of content that we\u2019re used to. Dawntrail will include: New main scenario questline – New dungeons (likely 6 as per previous expansions) – New trials (likely 3 as per previous expansions) – New 8 man raid – New alliance raid – New ultimate raid – New Field Operations – New Tribes – PvP update – Blue Mage update – Golden Saucer update – Deep Dungeon update – FFXIV Dawntrail\u2019s 8-man raid: The Arcadion The Japanese Fan Fest revealed the name and theme for the next 8 man raid series to join Final Fantasy XIV. The Arcadion has a futuristic theming, seemingly almost taking place inside of a GPU. Like Pandaemonium, this raid will contain its own story, and be released over the after patches of Dawntrail. The Arcadion will also feature a Savage difficulty. FFXIV Dawntrail\u2019s alliance raids: Echoes of Vana\u2019diel Whilst we had some information that Dawntrail\u2019s alliance raid would have something to do with Final Fantasy XI. The recent fan fest showcased art of some of the characters we will be facing when the raids do drop. Like the previous raid series, it\u2019s likely there will be 3 raids in total, also being released throughout the after patches. FFXIV Dawntrail\u2019s Ultimate Raid: Future\u2019s Rewritten Final Fantasy XIV players were blindsided by the announcement that the next ultimate released would feature the Eden raid series. Future\u2019s Rewritten will prominently feature the story of Shadowbringer\u2019s 8-man raid series, with the relationship between Ryne and Gaia at the forefront of the plot. FFXIV Dawntrail\u2019s Limited Job: Beastmaster We have known for quite some time that we\u2019d be receiving a new limited job in Dawntrail. The only other limited job FFXIV has so far is Blue Mage, which has a special gimmick that involves collecting spells from monsters. It\u2019s likely Beastmaster will be no different, being able to train or collect monsters to assist them in battle. Limited Jobs are unlike most of the regular jobs in FFXIV, having their own level cap and other restrictions. FFXIV Dawntrail\u2019s new playable race: female Hrothgar Dawntrail brings about a brand new playable race in the form of the female Hrothgar. This completes the rest of the playable races initially introduced in Shadowbringers, with Endwalker introducing male Viera. Game director Naoki Yoshida did mention that this would be the last of the playable races but playfully mentioned it would depend on the players. FFXIV Dawntrail\u2019s lifestyle content: Cosmic Exploration The Japanese Fan Fest also revealed a new form of lifestyle content that will be joining FFXIV in Dawntrail. Titled Cosmic Exploration, the new content will see players explore the moon in a more relaxed setting. Obviously, we don\u2019t know exactly what this will entail, but it\u2019s likely to be for those who prefer a more chill gaming experience. Graphical Updates in FFXIV Dawntrail Dawntrail will also be launching with the graphical updates that have been previously mentioned by game director Naoki Yoshida. The keynote showcased a bit of these new changes with the lighting being one of the more noticeable effects. Yoshida also spoke about how the team is emphasizing \u201cscreen-wide aesthetic appeal\u201d, meaning they\u2019re focusing on updating everything in the game, as opposed to individual characters. The director did mention that not all of these updates will be coming at once, but what you do see in Dawntrail will be a good representation of what\u2019s to come. Quality of Life Updates in FFXIV Dawntrail Alongside the major features, the team also mentioned a few quality-of-life updates that should improve player experience. These include: Two dyes per gear piece – Increased furnishing limits – Eyeglasses will be separate from headpieces, allowing players to wear both – A strategy board for players to plan duties and raids –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
