A ton of new features, raised level cap, and brand-new cities are coming to Final Fantasy XIV with Dawntrail. Warriors of Light will be called to the vast continent of Tural, which holds new adventures and challenges. Additionally, they’ll have two new jobs to pick from: Viper and Pictomancer. The female Hrothgar will also be a new playable race.

If you’re not planning to purchase Dawntrail right away, however, don’t worry. You’ll still enjoy updates, including the female Hrothgar (which requires Shadowbringers), graphical and system updates, and Gold Sauce updates.

Details about Dawntrail‘s Collectors Edition, Digital Collector’s Edition, Standard Edition, and Collector’s Box can be seen on the official expansion website.
