As one of the most successful MMORPGs in the world, Final Fantasy 14 has brought players a fulfilling and wonderful year in 2024. 2025 is coming, and FF14 may continue to build the world based on Dawntrail. Perhaps the mobile version of Final Fantasy 14 will be released in 2025, but the game progress in PC and consoles should remain ahead for quite a long time in terms of game content, so the following part focuses on the content that may be updated in PC and console versions.

Confirmed Features

Main Story

Players may be able to wait for the main line update of Dawntrail in early 2025. The update may be released in Patch 7.2 on the day from March to April. The end of Patch 7.1 of Final Fantasy 14 left players with a suspense. A mysterious man appeared in Living Memory, and Warrior of Light may continue to investigate in Alexandria. The key ending may be released in mid-August to September, which is Patch 7.3.

Both patches will offer new dungeons, and in Patch 7.3 there will be a new Trial to fight against a foe that has yet to be unannounced.

More Raid

Patches 7.2 and 7.3 will bring more raid content to players. Patch 7.2 will bring Cruiserweight Tier to the 8-player Arcadion raid series. This Cruiserweight Tier has Normal and Savage difficulties. Completing Arcadion’s Light-Heavyweight Tier on Normal mode is the prerequisite for players to unlock Cruiserweight Tier.

Echoes of Vana’diel alliance raid series will release the next chapter in Patch 7.3. Although it is not yet known what bosses players will encounter in these two series, it is certain that the bosses will become more powerful and players will need to update their FFXIV items.

Housing Update

In Final Fantasy 14, housing content has always been loved by players. Housing allows players to use their creativity and also brings profits, because in this game, land is limited. The land in each server has been occupied in advance by individual buyers and free companies.

Although it is not known whether the development team will add new housing areas in patches 7.2 and 7.3, the good news is that in these two versions, players can change the size of the interior space of the house through FF14 Gil, while the exterior will not change. For example, a medium-sized house can be upgraded to a large-sized house, and the corresponding number of furniture that can be placed should also increase.

Shades’ Triangle

Players will come to Shades’ Triangle at some point between patches 7.2 and 7.3. This will be the latest outdoor combat content. This outdoor action will be based on the real Bermuda Triangle, starting from Occult Crescent, a part of Shades’ Triangle, which may be the place where Dawntrail’s relic weapon quest begins. When players set foot on Shades’ Triangle, they will know what the development team has prepared for players.

Unconfirmed Part

Dawntrail’s Trial Series

The development team said. Trials released after Dawntrail will be separate quests, independent of the main story, just like Heavensward through Shadowbringers, in addition to Trials battles in patch 7.3, players can earn some Gil and other rewards by completing the quests.

The development team is tight-lipped about this, but players should get some official news when patch 7.2 is released. Trials battles have a tradition of extracting materials from previous Final Fantasy series, for example, players can see Final Fantasy 7 weapons in Shadowbringers, and Heavensward has Final Fantasy 6’s trident. Weapons from Final Fantasy 9 and Final Fantasy 11 may appear in Dawntrail, as it has already borrowed a lot from these two works.

Cosmic Exploration

Currently, players know very little about the content of Cosmic Exploration, but this part has been announced to be released in Dawntrail, so players should be able to play this part in patch 7.2 or patch 7.3. According to the description of the development team, artisans and gatherers can see various planets and get help from interstellar races. If you want to get more information, you can follow the official follow-up live broadcast.

Next Expansion

Dawntrail is expected to reach its end and climax in patch 7.3, and subsequent updates will pave the way for the Warrior of Light's next actions. Perhaps the story of 8.0 will take place between the southern lands of Meracydia and some unknown areas in the north of Ilsabard and Othard. The world of Etheirys is very vast, and there are many places where stories can be born. Players can look for clues between the previews of patches 7.2 and 7.3.

Beastmaster

Beastmaster was announced at the 2024 Tokyo FanFest as the second confirmed Limited Job. However, the developers did not announce more content, which resulted in players knowing almost nothing about him at present. In any case, Beastmaster can debut in patch 7.4 at the earliest, which is about the winter of 2025, which is still a year away. Regarding the weapons and armor of this character, players need to get more information from the open group in subsequent versions.

FF14 has been running for many years, and players’ enthusiasm for this game has not diminished at all. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the development team knows what they are doing and what needs to be done. They will update according to the plan, which ensures the quality of the game. In any case, I look forward to Dawntrail bringing more exciting content to players in 2025.
