Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market. With the new expansion Dawntrail, the game will also receive a new feature that is supposed to improve the dungeons even more.
What about the dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV? The MMORPG is extremely popular with fans. The sheer variety of content in the game can overwhelm some newcomers. When it comes to dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV, there are over 90 if you count the different difficulty levels individually.
The dungeons are a main component of the game and will receive an upgrade with the new expansion that will make them more enjoyable.
Here you can see the two new jobs from Dawntrail in the video:
Express Button to Dungeon Boss
Which function is supposed to improve? Until now, after failing a boss fight, you could teleport back near the boss. Depending on the dungeon, this was not always very close, so you had to take a little “walk of shame” to the boss.
With the new expansion of the MMORPG, the teleportation mechanism will change. If you want to go back to the boss after a failed boss fight, you can now do so directly.
In a video, user @FrostyTVstream shows how it’s done. Warning, slight spoiler about the first Dawntrail dungeon ahead:
As can be seen in the video, the entire group can teleport directly in front of the boss fight arena without detours and essentially start the next attempt immediately.
Is this meant to help newcomers progress faster? In March, Naoki Yoshida announced that he would not introduce a skip system for newcomers with Dawntrail. MyMMO editor Karsten Scholz mentioned at the time that this could be perhaps the biggest mistake of Yoshida’s career.
The new system is aimed at everyone and will not significantly speed up the leveling phase; you will still have to fight your way to the final boss and cannot just skip from boss to boss.
At the launch of the new expansion on July 2nd or June 28th with early access, a large number of players are expected to return to the servers of Final Fantasy XIV. After all, many want to play the new expansion or one of the two new classes. Square Enix is also aware of this: To ensure the servers can handle the launch of FFXIV Dawntrail, Square is taking drastic measures.
