Story

Winds of opportunity bring a visitor from the New World, seeking the Warrior of Light's aid in a rite of succession to determine Tural's next ruler.
Alongside Alphinaud, Alisaie and Erenville, the Warrior of Light embarks upon a journey across the Indigo Deep. Should rumor be true, the contest may lead them to the fabled gates of a City of Gold.
Little do they know that it will also see the Scions divided...

Features

Design

Gameplay and content-wise, Dawntrail will focus on the following, according to the PAX East panel hosted on March 23, 2024:

  • Refined multiplayer gameplay
  • More large-scale duties
  • A more fulfulling gaming experience
    • A reduction in boss hitbox sizes, which have become very large in Endwalker
    • Fewer recycled mechanics in encounters
  • Improved rewards (approximately 1.5x the number of rewards by patch 7.3)

Job design builds on level 90 (Endwalker) jobs, although dragoon, monk, and black mage received minor reworks and astrologian cards were entirely reworked. Other changes to existing job actions focused on reducing button bloat and increasing ease of use.
