Allies from Eorzea join in, backing different candidates. Building on Endwalker's storyline, Dawntrail offers a "summer vacation" for the Warrior of Light, introducing new areas, raising the level cap, and adding two new classes and a playable race.

This expansion also brings the game's first major graphical update since its 2013 relaunch. It will be available as a standalone for current players and as part of the Complete Edition for newcomers.

FFXIV Dawntrail Gameplay

In Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, the gameplay remains similar to the base game. Players explore a persistent world where their actions shape the story. Two new jobs are introduced: Viper, an agile dual-wielding class inspired by characters like Zidane from Final Fantasy IX. Vipers can combine their swords into a powerful two-handed weapon for certain attacks.

The second new job is Pictomancer, a mage who uses magical paint to cast spells that damage enemies or support the party, inspired by Relm Arrowny from Final Fantasy VI. Krile, a beloved character, also adopts the Pictomancer class in this expansion.

Director Yoshida has mentioned that these new jobs feel more refined compared to earlier ones. Additionally, a new job called Beastmaster will be added as a "Limited" job, with similar matchmaking restrictions as the Blue Mage.
