After the announcement of the new addition to Dawntrail for Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix introduced many details, screenshots and videos.

To begin with, the producer and gamer -director of Naoki Yoshida shared the updated type of new Hyelidin map, expanded west of the indigo hollow and including "New world", The earth was traveling.

To begin with, the producer and gamer -director of Naoki Yoshida shared the updated look of the new Hyelidin map, expanded west of the indigo hollow and includes "New world" – The land was tour.

Square Enix showed the first new hub city in the area called Yok-Ural, which was called Tuliollal. By the way, we also heard that there will be several more cities in the game, but today we see only this. This city is the capital of the federal state, and it is controlled. The city is full of diversity and actively trades with the old Chariaman through the established sea path.

We can also see several screenshots, including the port and the Tuliollala market, as well as a night look. Graphic update promised in version 7.0, demonstrates more objects on the screen and better shadows. By the way, we learned that in the new world there are many places where players will be able to swim.

Then we get acquainted with the new territories, starting from the Mountain District of the URKopach. Once it was the center of the ancient Empire of giants. We see a settlement that also demonstrates visual improvements, especially in shadows and foliage.

Next – Yak T’El, where you can get from Tuliollal on the airship. This is a forest, divided into high and low areas, which have completely different energy. Here are the settlements of Khrottgar and Mamul Jah. And again we see screenshots of the local village.

Then we get acquainted with the new union tribe we have to meet – Pelupel, who returned from Final Fantasy X. This is a miniature race wearing masks. They are skilled merchants and well -known drinking manufacturers.

Then Mr. Yoshida presented additional materials that will appear in version 7.0. The maximum level will be increased to 100 from the current 90 for classes of professions and collectors/crafts. There will be two new professions, but today they were not declared. Nevertheless, we learned that both of them will be DPS: one – near battle, the other – magical.

Mr. Yoshida was dressed in a T-shirt with the image of Ninja Turtles, which, presumably, is a hint of one of the new professions. Of course, this cannot be a ninja, because there is already a ninja in the game. In general, think what you want.

The expansion will include new dungeons, and there will be as many of them as players are used to expecting the expansion of the Final Fantasy XIV.

There will be many new items of equipment and recipes for collectors and artisans, as well as extensive content dedicated to a new lifestyle similar to Island Sanctuary.

There will be new dungeons, a new raid for an alliance, a new raid for 8 players and the new Ultimate Raid. Interestingly, Mr. Yoshida noted that the new alliance raid will be "even more similar to Final Fantasy". In addition, PVP, including Crystal Conflict, Frontline (with new cards) and Rival Wings will be updated.

Blue Mage will receive its own update, and our beloved clumsy detective will return with "Incomprehensible by the further adventures of Hildibram". New plans for Deep Dungeons are considered, but the developers also consider the possibility of creating a completely new combat content. Finally, an update will be released for Gold Saucer.

It is time to look at the previously announced graphic update. The purpose of the update – "improve the aesthetic attractiveness of the game", including textures and shadows with higher resolution and improved quality of materials, while preserving the general view that players like it so much.

At the same time, it is important that the image that has developed among the players does not change, so that the characters do not become photorealistic. Below you can see a new video (recorded by the user of YouTube Gamersprey), but it should be remembered that it is still under development, and we can expect even higher quality when the expansion is released. The main improvements are hair textures, improved skin and realistic eyes.

Since the game presents an incredible amount of equipment, existing sets will gradually be updated during all updates 7.X. NPC and locations will also constantly improve. The video also demonstrates the improvements of the environment. Although the old scenes will not immediately receive additional elements, they will still win when starting expansion due to improvement of lighting and shadows.

Another important improvement is landscaping and you can see the difference in the video. It will be automatically added around the world.

Improvements are not limited only by graphics. The coloring system will be improved: players will be able to apply two dyes to each subject of equipment. This applies as many equipment items as possible. The update of the old equipment will occur gradually.

Glasses will become a separate item of equipment, which will be separated from hats. At the same time, they will not be functional equipment and will not occupy a place in the arsenal of equipment. These are purely fashionable items.

After the extension of the extension, during a series of updates 7.X, the limit of furniture on housing will be increased.

The system requirements will inevitably increase slightly. You can find the minimum and recommended specifications below. PlayStation 4 will still be supported.

Interestingly, we also see an unexplored system "Strategy Board", which will allow you and your comrades to visualize strategies when passing group content.

Currently, Final Fantasy XIV is available for PC, PS5 and PS4, and the version for Xbox Series X | S has been announced only today. It is already known that the expansion will be released in the summer of 2024.
