Remaining Fantasy 14 launched into a brand new, multi-expansion story arc with Dawntrail—however by way of what Dawntrail really arrange, it is all been largely self-contained to this point: With one exception, the Interdimensional Key we picked up throughout the principle story quest. Given what number of reflections we have but to go to, it is a fairly enormous get for our Warrior of Gentle.
Properly, seems like we’d doubtlessly know the place we’re going first—that is per the patch 7.5 website, launched forward of the following stay letter come April 17.

All the higher.
