Square Enix's FFXIV Tokyo Fan Fest recently unveiled exciting details about the upcoming expansion, Dawntrail. Producer Naoki Yoshida introduced the Pictomancer, a new ranged magical DPS Job inspired by Relm from Final Fantasy VI. The Pictomancer wields a palette and brush wand, using them to paint magical effects and summon creatures like Moogles.
This expansion, set to launch in summer 2024, brings not only a new job but also an extended opening movie featuring Scion member Krile Baldesion showcasing Pictomancer powers. The main scenario update with Patch 6.55, scheduled for January 16, 2024, introduces a female Hrothgar as part of the main scenario, which will be available as an option for players in the next expansion.
Dawntrail dives into a story set in Tural, a western continent known as "The New World." Tural, inspired by the Americas, offers a unique setting with northern and southern sections connected by the impressive Tuliyollal bridge. The Warrior of Light and Scions will participate in a succession dispute involving the ruler's daughter, promising the "greatest summer vacation" for players.
Dawntrail not only expands the playable races with a female option for Hrothgar but also introduces Solution 9, a futuristic city serving as a player hub. Exciting previews of dungeons, including one set on a raft floating down a Turali river, add to the anticipation for this upcoming release.
