From new jobs to a game mode that’s all about the farming life, find out the important details about what’s coming to the Endwalker expansion in FFXIV!
Final Fantasy XIV is one of the biggest games in the world, so to announce a major expansion coming draws a lot of attention--like millions of existing and new players alike. The Endwalier is by far the most anticipated Final Fantasy expansion pack yet, and not only that but it’s poised to become one of the biggest expansions ever been released throughout the lifespan of FFXIV. The hype surrounding what’s to come is almost unparalleled when compared to the previous expansion releases, and it’s mostly due to the Endwalker marking the end of the storyline that began back in 2013 in A Realm Reborn. While no doubt there will be new quests to undertake and farm FFXIV Gil for, Endwalker is expected to be quite an emotional ride for many players that have come to love the cast of character that they’ve been with over the years. Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
Release Date for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker
Square Enix has confirmed that Endwalker is set to release on Fall 2021, or more specifically, November 23, 2021. This was announced during the all-digital Final Fantasy 14 Fanfest 2021 by the Game Director, Naoki Yoshida. Due to the transition of working from the office to working from home, Yoshida has commented that the release is a bit later than what they were expecting for the expansion to be released. This meant that Square Enix was running a few months late behind its summer release schedule, but most importantly, they didn’t want to release Endwalker and comprise its quality or cut any features, hence the delay. This seems like the right call to make for every game company right now. Players often understand the meaning behind delays of game releases, and with Endwalker being all hyped up, it would be a shame for it to be released even when it’s still an incomplete mess. Imagine having cutbacks by omitting certain FFXIV mounts or items in the FFXIV store--that would be a tragedy!
What to Expect in the Endwalker Expansion
There’s lots of Endwalker content that was also unveiled during the FFXIV Fanfest 2021. Here’s what we know about what’s to come in the expansion so far:
- A New Race
The Viera race in FFXIV has been around for quite some time, and players might know them as the “hot bunny people” that first surfaced in Final Fantasy XII. For those that wish to become a Viera themselves, bunny ears and all, boy are they in for a treat! Male Vieras have never been seen before since it is the females that usually show themselves; In the Endwalker expansion, players will finally be able to create a male Viera and make their himbo bunny dreams a reality. Who wouldn’t want to have such floofy ears that are no doubt soft as a pillow?
- Two New Jobs
There will be two new jobs in the Endwalker expansion. These are the Sage and the Reaper. The Sage is the newest healer that will be utilizing a Nouliths weapon. Players can only undertake this job should they have a starting level of 70. Some of Sage’s abilities include barrier and healing spells to protect other party members, temporary augmentation of their magic abilities, and the ability to use Aether to manipulate their Nouliths in battle.
The Reaper, on the other hand, is a DPS melee specialist that can call upon an avatar from the Void to aid them when engaging in close-quarter combat. As the Reaper, players have the choice of using two-handed scythe weapons and even serve as a host for the avatar that they have summoned. Much like for the Sage, the Reaper job requires players to have at least a starting level of 70.
- The Island Sanctuary
Ever wanted to just take a break and kick back watching the cows go moo? Well, the Island Sanctuary is the perfect place for you, my friend. There’s still little information unveiled as to how this mode will play out, but what we do know is that it’s going to be all about cultivating the land and raising animals that’s smack dab in the middle of an uninhabited deserted island. For those that aren’t feeling any interest in saving the world from total annihilation, the Island Sanctuary is geared towards players who prefer living the slow life. Sometimes, being a Farmer of Light can be better than having the title of Warrior of Light.
This game is really brilliant but it's really expensive to buy. Fortunately, there are sites like this one where you can buy cd keys for games very cheaply and safely: https://royalcdkeys.com
