At present, the Last Fantasy XIV workforce hosted the second of this yr’s Fan Festivals in London, England. As with the Las Vegas occasion, the entire thing was kicked off with a Keynote presentation during which Yoshi-P provided particulars in regards to the sport’s subsequent replace and enlargement. This keynote provided a bit extra info than the final one, however they nonetheless held some issues again – each as a result of some content material simply isn’t prepared, and nicely… they do want one thing to point out off on the Fan Competition in Tokyo on Jan 7, 2024.

Yoshi-P began issues off with an prolonged model of the Dawntrail trailer we noticed in Las Vegas. It’s successfully the identical, with one massive distinction. We get to see one of many new jobs in motion. However, just one. The opposite one we’ll need to guess at for one more couple of months.

At present, they revealed the brand new melee DPS job, the Viper. This can be a dual-wielding class that’s completely different from Ninja, however will nonetheless share the identical gear. The job, designed particularly for Dawntrail, makes use of twin blades that may be mixed right into a single, two-handed weapon. This enables the Viper to alternate between the much less highly effective however quicker strikes of the twin blades to the extra highly effective assaults of a single double-handed weapon. The Viper also can imbue their physique with further energy for a short interval of additional DPS.

As we talked about, the second job nonetheless hasn’t been formally revealed, though gamers have their guesses. All we all know for positive is that it’s a ranged magic DPS. We’ll discover out the remaining in the course of the Tokyo occasion.

That stated, we do know that the necessities for selecting up these new jobs are to have bought the Dawntrail enlargement and have at the least one job leveled as much as 80. Which means gamers can undergo the entire Dawntrail content material as a Viper in the event that they need to. Word that so as to decide up the Viber job, gamers might want to head to Ul’dah.

The job reveal was adopted up by a recap of the knowledge supplied in Las Vegas in regards to the new area being launched in 7.0, the land of Tural. This was expanded on with extra particulars on the area’s major hub, Tuliyollal, in addition to the 2 different areas gamers revealed in Vegas, Yak T’el and Urqoppacha. In each instances in-game video was supplied. Nonetheless, the areas are unpopulated.

Different areas of curiosity, a dense jungle south of Tyliyollal named Kozama’uka and a desert space named Shaaloani have been revealed as nicely. Kazoma’uka is house to Moblins. These are a brand new Allied Tribe race that share a typical ancestor with Goblins. Nonetheless, as a substitute of creating issues, they’re good at procuring issues – which suggests they’ll be of massive assist to crafters and gatherers.

We’re fairly positive everybody knew this, however simply in case you didn’t, Yoshi-P mentioned the extent cap improve to 100. He additionally talked about that we’ll have new fates, new content material for The Hunt, one other treasure hunt, and quest-synched facet quests. Gamers can anticipate loads of new dungeons. The phrasing was “at the least” as many as in previous expansions. So we don’t have to fret about having much less.

A brand new enemy was revealed as idea artwork. The artwork is actually all we learn about it.

It was additionally talked about that Obligation Assist will probably be out there for all instanced dungeons in Dawntrail’s MSQ. Talking of dungeons, gamers also can anticipate new variant dungeons, an 8-man raid, and a brand new final in 7.0. You already know, the same old stuff. We may even be getting a particular new Alliance Raid that long-time Last Fantasy MMO gamers will probably be enthusiastic about.

That’s proper. Prepare for a Last Fantasy XI tie-in. The Alliance Raid, titled Echoes of Vana’Diel celebrates 20 years of Last Fantasy XI.

After all, a brand new enlargement additionally means new gear and recipes, and Yoshi-P confirmed off idea artwork for crafting and gathering jobs in addition to preventing jobs. Apparently, the gear isn’t region-inspired this time.

Different compulsory content material contains additions to Blue Mage, extra Hildibrand quests, extra Deep Dungeons, Gold Saucer updates, and a PvP replace. Talking of Blue Mage, it’s about to get some firm. A brand new restricted job will probably be added within the latter a part of 7.x. After all, we’ve no particulars. We’ve simply been knowledgeable that it’s coming.

Yoshi-P additionally talked about the “life-style” content material. They’d supposed to point out a few of this off now, however it wasn’t prepared. So, we’ve to attend till the Tokyo occasion to see any of it.

The remainder of the Dawntrail presentation was spent on the graphical replace. I don’t assume I’ve ever spent a lot time taking a look at a Lalafell’s chin. Or Au’ra horns. When you’re questioning what these upgraded chins are going to value you, additionally they shared the system specs. Nonetheless, these are tentative.

The keynote was rounded out with extra info on upcoming 6.x content material. The Fall Guys crossover drops on October 31 as a part of patch 6.51. That is 24-man content material, so carry some associates. Additionally, maintain a watch out for a particular crossover quest, Path Infernal. Lastly, that Last Fantasy XVI crossover you’ve been wanting is on its manner. Hang around with Clive and get your individual Torgal mount and minion. There may even be gear to acquire.

Lastly, we’ve information in regards to the cloud information heart and the Xbox model of the sport. The cloud information heart stress check is ready for November 21-27. It will likely be performed on the North American, East Coast Knowledge Middle. This check solely permits new characters that will probably be deleted on the finish.

The Xbox open beta will happen in January or February.
