At the FINAL FANTASY™ XIV Fan Festival 2024 in Tokyo, SQUARE ENIX® announced that it has surpassed the 30 million mark of registered players worldwide for FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, the critically acclaimed MMORPG. Exclusive information from the fifth expansion Dawntrail™, scheduled for summer 2024, was also shared during the event.

At the opening ceremony, producer and director Naoki Yoshida revealed the second new job in the Dawntrail expansion: the pictomancer. This remote magic DPS is a wielder of pictorial magic capable of materializing his ideas with a paintbrush. Naoki Yoshida also introduced the expansion’s new playable race: female hrothgars.

Following this, the final Dawntrail trailer was broadcast, much to the delight of attendees. It can be viewed here :

  • New job – the pictomancer: this wielder of pictorial magic brings his ideas to life with the tip of his brush. His imagination can bring anything to life: weapons, creatures and even landscapes. Such invocations require a certain amount of preparation time, so the pictomancer keeps instant spells and abilities at hand.
  • New playable race – Hrothgar women: Hrothgars are normally native to Ilsabard. However, fierce hunters from Yak T’el in the Tural, the Xbr’aal, share a common ancestor with the island population. Women are few and far between in this tribe, but are recognizable by their athletic bearing. They are also born leaders.
  • New City – Solution Neuf: a mysterious civilization, alien to Tuliyollal, is at the origin of this futuristic urban jungle. For a guided tour, visit https://youtu.be/riOrSqKzqgM
  • New zone – the Recovered Heights: this region is permanently bathed in stormy skies obscured by thick clouds and crossed by lightning. Strange constructions illuminate the darkness with a violet glow.
  • New raid series: Arcadion
  • New high difficulty raid : Avenirs réécrits (fatal)
  • New epic dungeons: a preview of the dungeons available in Dawntrail is available here: https: //youtu.be/DWCU9pRrfOQ
  • New game mode : cosmic exploration
  • New exploration missions: the more adventurous can now look forward to new exploration missions in the vein of “Eureka, the forbidden land” and “Guard the Queen”.
  • New restricted job: the trainer
Announced at the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival 2023 in London, the “Primordial Flames” quest series, the result of collaboration with FINAL FANTASY XVI, will be available in early April 2024.
