During Tokyo Fan Fest 2024, Square Enix released a new more than five-minute trailer for Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail, the highly anticipated new expansion to its MMORPG. The video lets you listen to the game's entire opening theme song and gives a nice overview of Tural, the new explorable region in the game.
Also revealed is the arrival of the Xbox beta. Xbox Series X and S owners will get to try out the game in February 2024. Note that the beta will be complete with all content. For the arrival of Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox, there is no exact date yet, but it should not be long now, also because the Dawntrail expansion has also been announced for Microsoft's platform, so it will be available at the same time or a few months earlier.
The footage features many interesting elements. For example, it allows a first look at one of two new classes, that of the Pictomancer, which will be embraced by Krile, a member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. In the trailer we see her using her brush weapon to bring a flying creature to life.
Also, at the end of the trailer we can see a new character, a Hrothgar on a boat together with the Warrior of Light. They are heading toward the land of Tural.
The trailer does not provide an official release date for Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail, which remains set for the summer of 2024. Producer Naoki Yoshida revealed during the Fan Fest conference that internally there is already a date, but that it is not being announced because the development team wants to avoid another Endwalker case, i.e., having to announce a postponement in case of problems.
Otherwise, we remind you that Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is in development for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
That new Pictomancer class looks awesome! A paintbrush as a weapon? Cool!
