It ’s almost here !
The release date for the approaching Dawntrail expansion for Final Fantasy XIV was finally revealed during Pax East 2024 . Set for a release engagement on other Access on June 28th , Patch 7.0 turns a new page for the ever - increasing storyline of the game but also promises to bestow big change and even more substance for the critically acclaimed MMO .
former Access start on June 28th , as the full biz release on July 2nd . While they originally be after for a release date one week early , they in the end set up on push it back a while to avoid competing with the coming Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree . Probably the best move Square has made in a while .
Preorders set about on March 26th at 9:00 AM GMT and allow player to enter Early Access . They also get various Final Fantasy 9 - themed point from it , such as the Wind - up Zidane Minion and Azeyma ’s Earrings . The Collector ’s Edition keep with the Ark mount ( free-base on an Eidolon from FF9 ) , the breaking wind - up Garnet Minion , and the Chocobo Brush for the Pictomancer .
System requirements have been also slightly altered from what was been antecedently announce . This is probably due to the showcased in writing updates we ’ll be receiving . If you have n’t elevate your computing machine yet , this is the clock time to do it .
During the display , game film director Naoki Yoshida reminisce about all previous enlargement and what kind of content was follow through in each of them . The team has arrive a farseeing direction since A Realm Reborn , and while not all changes have been well receive by the whole community , they ’ve learned a muckle in the physical process .

And that ’s why they drive to enter changes following feedback from the residential district . Complaints such as the exaggerated huge hitboxes for bosses ( more spectacular in Raids and Trials ) or the repetitiveness of the content have been impart to tending . Many of these will be bring during the elaboration in one means or another as they aim to land a more fulfilling experience for all new and old players .
We can require more depicted object than ever , as they prognosticate we would get up to 1.5 more content compared to previous expansions . I ’m in person hoping for more diverse content that we can enjoy alongside more players , as Endwalker has been , as they have mentioned , a pretty individual - role player - focused experience .
Dawntrail will have a whole new realm with Tural , introducing the unexampled DPS jobs Viper and Pictomancer alongside loads of newfangled cognitive content , including Dungeons , Alliance Raids , Savage Raids , Trials , Beast Tribe , and much more . We can wait swelled reveals as we approach the release date , so rest tuned !
