Take a look at the fancy reveal trailer down below:
Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker will see players journey to Thavnir, the imperial capital of Garlemald. Players will also get to visit the moon. The new expansion also brings with it new jobs including the Sage, a level cap increase from 80 to 90, new Dungeons and a new Alliance Raid Series.
Matt Hilton, community director at Square Enix shared the news on the PlayStation Blog saying:
Alisaie and Alphinaud (finally!) get their turn in the spotlight, and it looks like Alphinaud changed jobs for the occasion. The Warrior of Light seems to have shaken off the darkness from Shadowbringersand is sporting some well-worn Paladin armor as well—but we can’t ignore the fact that he’s on the moon! There is a lot packed into that teaser, but we still have much more to share.
Endwalker will feature the climax of the long-running Hydaelyn and Zodiark story arc, which is not only exciting for our veteran players but also means it’s a great time for new players to jump in and enjoy the amazing story leading up to Endwalker’s release. The rundown of the content includes:
- Journey to Thavnair, the imperial capital of Garlemald, and even the Moon!
