FINAL FANTASY XIV Online News

FFXIV is "story-driven" like a TV show, says director Naoki Yoshida

Final Fantasy XIV remains my most-played MMORPG, as I have poured thousands of hours into my Warrior of Light's journey across Eorzea to date. The community is unparalleled, with Final Fantasy XIV's developers' deep involvement with players' hopes for the game and feedback. Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida, the director of FFXIV, recently took part in the game's iconic Fan Festival 2023 showcase. At the event, Yoshi-P and Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy XIV's highly anticipated 7.0 expansion, Dawntrail.

Final Fantasy maker sees income drop by 79%

Final Fantasy maker Square Enix says that its Q2 operating income has dropped 79% year on year, despite the launch of Final Fantasy 16. As we await the arrival of the FFXIV Dawntrail release date and the next big expansion for the MMORPG, Square Enix says that, despite an increase in overall game sales, development costs and payments have caused a sharp downturn in income. In light of the newly published financials, the Final Fantasy 14 creator has also seen its share price decline by 12%.

When is the FFXIV Dawntrail release date? FFXIV 7.0 will be the fifth major expansion for Final Fantasy XIV since its A Realm Reborn relaunch. The critically acclaimed MMORPG delivers one of the most richly designed worlds to explore, telling finely crafted, character-led stories that can bring you to joy or devastation. While it's great with friends or other players online, FFXIV can be played entirely solo as well, letting you enjoy it however you like.


FFXIV Dawntrail is the upcoming expansion for the hugely successful MMORPG developed by Square Enix. Unlike most of the other entries in the Final Fantasy series, which are predominantly single-player RPG games, FFXIV is an online multiplayer world frequented by millions of players, and has been growing ever since its launch in 2013. Here's a first look at Dawntrail, including everything we know about the setting and story, as well as the new jobs, graphics update, and the FFXIV Dawntrail release date.

Final Fantasy 14's Moonfire Faire says goodbye swimsuits, hello Power Rangers


Final Fantasy 14 will once again celebrate the Moonfire Faire as its summer event, though this time the reward is a bit different from normal.


Over the years, the Moonfire Faire hasn't always offered swimsuits, but it is generally typical of the seasonal event, considering it happens every summer. You still get a new cosmetic suit once you complete whatever quests lie in wait for you, but this time it's something that Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai fans are more likely to be excited about. "We hope you're not allergic to sunshine: the Moonfire Faire is returning to FFXIV on August 10!" reads a tweet announcing the event. "What mission awaits the Phoenix Risers…?"


I don't know about you, but "Phoenix Risers," certainly sounds like a cheesy enough name for some kind of over the top team of heroes, but there isn't really much information about the event available just yet. It's only a few days away though, as noted in the tweet, so it won't be long until we find out what's in store for us.
