Endwalker
Yet shadowed by their triumph in the First, the Warrior of Light and Scions of the Seventh Dawn are home at last. An even greater calamity than refulgent oblivion has been building in their absence, however─a second advent of the Final Days. Should all despair, the myriad conflicts that now ravage the land cannot but foretoken an end to life in the Source.
Our tale─of a star, and of its souls─will see the Warrior of Light sail north to Sharlayan and east to Thavnair, forge a path to the heart of the Garlean Empire, and ascend to the heavens to set foot upon the very moon itself. FINAL FANTASY XIV's first grand saga approaches its highly anticipated conclusion!

Thancred is an Archon in the Scions of the Seventh Dawn who specializes in survival and subterfuge.

-
Alphinaud
A member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, he and his sister were the youngest individuals in history to be accepted into the Studium, Sharlayan’s premier academic institution.

-
Tataru
Not only does this diligent Lalafell single-handedly carry out the clerical duties of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, she is also responsible for their finances, often dabbling in the various trade professions herself in order to save a few coins. Though unsuited to battle, her administrative support is what allows the other members of the organization to operate at full effectiveness in the field.
-
Krile
This steadfast member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn possesses the Echo, her gift manifesting as the ability to sense the intent of others. Krile also belongs to the Students of Baldesion, and is the adopted granddaughter of Galuf, the institution's late founder.

-
Estinien
Once heralded as Ishgard's foremost dragonslayer, Estinien disappeared from the world's stage following the denouement of the Dragonsong War. With an even greater threat now brewing on the horizon, the erstwhile Azure Dragoon has returned, lance in hand, to fight at the side of the Scions.
-
Zenos
Zenos took his own life after falling to the hero of Ala Mhigo's liberation, but even death proved unable to claim his unquenchable soul. He has since arisen, slaying his father, Emperor Varis, and reducing the capital city of Garlemald to ruin in single-minded pursuit of his heart's one and only desire.
-
Lady of the Light
This mysterious figure appeared before the Warrior of Light on the shores of Silvertear Lake, bringing with her a warning of impending darkness. Something in her voice as she delivered her portentous message seemed hauntingly familiar...
Toward New Horizons
Toward New Horizons
New Cities
-
Old Sharlayan
Ensconced in a lonely northern archipelago and ever blessed by the wise auspices of Thaliak, the gleaming white edifices of this city stand at the center of Sharlayan society. First among many dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and scientific advancement is the Studium, the world's most prestigious place of learning.
-
Radz-at-Han
This bustling city on the Near Eastern isle of Thavnair is renowned as a prosperous trading hub and the birthplace of alchemy. Over the course of its storied history, it has produced countless influential figures and ingenious creations that have since made their ways to distant shores.
Perched atop a massive pillar of rock, its ornate buildings boast vibrant hues rivaled only by those of its locally produced textiles.
New Areas
-
Labyrinthos
Deep below the streets of Old Sharlayan lies a vast subterranean environment created as a repository for tomes and treatises on every subject imaginable, gathered from all corners of the world. To protect the priceless and irreplaceable, the climate of Labyrinthos is aetherically regulated.
-
Garlemald
Despite being situated on the frozen plains of northern Ilsabard, the imperial capital overcame the natural disadvantages of its location─and many a further obstacle facing the Empire─with the power of magitek. The rise of this burgeoning industry spurred rapid urban development in recent decades─until the sprawling metropolis was brought to its knees by civil war. Now, the once-proud jewel of the Empire is a sea of desolation.
-
Thavnair
In the Bounty's southeastern waters lies the isle of Thavnair, where tropical coastline soon gives way to dense rainforest─though the intense heat and sweltering humidity remain much the same. The region is known as a rich source of the magically infused stone giantsgall, and the distinctive violet glow from its rocky outcrops lingers in the memories of visitors long after they depart its shores.
Mare Lamentorum
Though its name may conjure images of the briny deep, this region of the moon is awash with naught but arid basalt. It is far from devoid of interest, however, as the origin and purpose of the apparently artificial structures spotted on its surface have yet to be ascertained.
New Tribes
Arkasodara
Like the other Matanga peoples, the Arkasodara resemble the great marid both in appearance and brawn. They are indigenous to the isle of Thavnair, and founded the city-state of Radz-at-Han together with Au Ra and Hyur migrants. Their bulky frames belie their deftness of hand, and their thirst for knowledge has led many to pursue mastery of the alchemic arts.
Loporrits
Eorzean myth tells of a curious wanderer known as Namingway, descended from an unknown people that traveled to the realm from the moon. The Loporrits appear to have much in common with that being of legend, though questions regarding their current whereabouts─and much else besides─remain unanswered.
New Threats
Anima
Encased in an otherworldly carapace and bound with thick chain, this abomination is agony made flesh. Within its hollow eyes burns a baleful light, as its jagged maw hangs wide, belching forth searing flame.
The Magus Sisters
A trinity of gods long revered by the people of Thavnair. Cinduruva, the eldest, is said to be the bearer of wisdom, Sanduruva that of prosperity, and Minduruva, the youngest, ingenuity.
Changes to the Battle System
The arrival of new jobs and a raised level cap breathe new life into the battle system. Fresh gameplay elements and new actions for existing jobs allow you to experience the thrill of combat as never before.
New Alliance Raid
Myths of the Realm
New Alliance Raid
Myths of the Realm
Since time immemorial, a pantheon of gods known as the Twelve has presided over the land of Eorzea. Faith in these divine beings permeates all facets of life, and its influence is present in the practice of every craft, the heritage of each clan, and the customs of villages and nations across the realm. Now, the quest begins to discover how their tale began─and perhaps how it shall end.
New High-end Raid
Pandæmonium
New High-end Raid
Pandæmonium

Treasure Hunt
The Excitatron 6000
After countless years of research, it was determined that 89.7% of mankind craves worldly delights and the thrill of battle, and is prone to an irrational penchant for leaving its fate to chance. Naturally, it will be no mean feat to please such fickle beings, but the Loporrits are ever eager to astonish and amaze. You may rest assured that this attraction is to die for!
New Playable Race
Male Viera
New Playable Race
Male Viera
Of tall stature and slender frame, the Viera's physical appearance is strikingly similar to that of the Hyur and Elezen, save for their distinctive long ears. Adhering to a strict code known as the Green Word, they are prohibited from contact with the outside world under threat of exile. Their society is purely matriarchal, and males of age are seldom, if ever, found within the bounds of any village. They instead serve as protectors of the wood from the shadows, that no evil may ever encroach on their sacred lands.
