The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will receive its new and first add-on “Heavensward” this week. A launch trailer has now been released.
This is also happening this week! Especially in E3 week, where things are already shaking in the gaming world, “Heavensward”, the first expansion for Final Fantasy XIV, a strong competitor to World of Warcraft for the crown in the MMORPG genre, is being released. Admittedly, it is not quite “this week”. Access is only granted to pre-orders who can enter the early access. But in practice, that will be quite a few.
No Final Fantasy XIV on Thursday, June 18th, but more on June 19th
Tomorrow, on June 18th, the servers will be taken down at 10:00 AM our time. They will reopen on Friday, June 19th, around 10:00 AM. Then the early access for pre-orderers begins.
“Heavensward” will bring 3 new “jobs”, basically classes. There is a new race; new, large zones; features like flying will be included, and each activity in the game will essentially get another level on top. If you look up “MMORPG expansion” in the dictionary, there should be a picture of Heavensward if everything goes right. This expansion meets the definition perfectly. Even the level cap is raised.
But now, enjoy the launch trailer.
