It is with great pleasure that we present the preliminary patch notes for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers.



A new world of adventure awaits in the First as you are called to its continent of Norvrandt. Will you cast off your role as the Warrior of Light, and rise to the challenge to bring back the darkness?



You must face the myriad perils of lands unknown, but how you do so will be up to you. Whether you choose to take up the fight as a gunbreaker or dancer, see the world through the eyes of a Viera or Hrothgar, or leverage Trust to challenge dungeons with your NPC allies, you will find there is much to be done both near and far─and plentiful updates to the battle system and crafting and gathering, as well as other new features and improvements to make it all worth the while.



* Additional features will be implemented in future updates:

The raid Eden's Gate is scheduled to be released in 5.01.

The treasure hunt instance the Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah and Eden’s Gate (Savage) are scheduled to be released in 5.05.

The Restoration of the Holy See of Ishgard and New Game+ are planned for 5.1 or later.
