Behold, the birth of a new Eorzean age – of the Dawntrail for Final Fantasy XIV! Scheduled for release on 2 July 2024, Square Enix’s 81st Letter from the Producer livestream dropped a cornucopia of updates for players eager to cast eyes on the future. From the gift of the Viper and Pictomancer Jobs, to an extensive rebalancing of existing roles that will alter the flow of play entirely, this article is a journey through a new Eorzean age from the comfort of your seat, and the end of the path represents a revolution in play designed to strengthen your readiness for what is to come.
The Viper’s moveset involves double-bladed and double-bladed-manuvers, as the trailer advertises ‘a dance of death’. The gameplay appears to have a simple rhythm of balanced styles charging a devastating overdrive and reaping small groups of monsters. So far little is known about the mechanics – ‘Viper’s true blade remains a mystery’ – but this version of ‘Blade’ certainly promises to inject some much-needed competition into the DPS classes.
The brush in the Picto-Hand is a new alternative to the magic sword: the Pictomancer casts spells or buffs by creating stylised combat motifs on the battlefield, conjuring up either spells or auras with a summoning or dousing gesture. This is a safe but unusual job, with an alternative flair to the Mage and an entirely unique playstyle that rewards preparation and ability timing.
The changes pave the way for an age of more durability, where vital damage-reduction abilities last longer, causing tanks to be able absorb battle fire like never before.
Healers will benefit most from the lowered cooldowns on must-cast spells such as Swiftcast, and can react to the battlefield more quickly to keep their teams fully alive.
Changes are in coming for Melee DPS and Ranged DPS as well. These jobs should be much more lethal in the future. More potent healing, skill changes, and more.
In response to the different playing styles of its player base, Dawntrail has new Action Change Settings that encourage more flexibility with control schemes. Combo actions have been merged into a single button, with standard layout options so that everyone can experience a combat flow that’s right for them.
Dawntrail will also affect the PvP arena, with both the Viper and Pictomancer gaining new abilities; the first phase of season 1, a pre-season, will be their time to adapt.
But even away from the battlefield, folks can see Dawntrail’s graphical update featuring a new Benchmark program and a quest-giver that rewards players with a Fantasia potion to reset and/or give themselves a new appearance.
With less than a year to go (July 2, 2024) until the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox series X|S launch of Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail – and with the stated intention of changing the paradigm of MMO gaming – Final Fantasy XIV has taken its new jobs, including the return of the job from Final Fantasy V, grouped them with the others and rebalanced them. It has added new housing, crafting, dungeons, raids and tons of quality-of-life features and quests to create a more familiar Final Fantasy XIV experience.
One thing we see that emerges through all the changes to Dawntrail is the use of the word ‘burst’. The term in MMORPGs refers to the capacity to launch a series of ‘small’ attacks or spells in rapid succession as quickly as possible to inflict the most amount of damage in as short a time as possible. It is a mechanic that is central to both PvE and PvP, when timing and concentrated application of power can turn a battle around. Both of these functions are made easier through the Job changes and the addition of new roles in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, which adds valuable tactical depth and dynamism to the way that combat unfolds.
