Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail[a] is the fifth expansion pack to Final Fantasy XIV, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix for Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. It was released on July 2, 2024, over two years after Endwalker, the previous expansion.[2] Like its predecessors, Naoki Yoshida served as director and producer and Masayoshi Soken composed the soundtrack. The expansion pack will be released as a standalone product for current players; for new players, the “Complete Edition” that originally launched with Heavensward was updated to include all expansions including Dawntrail.
In Dawntrail, players travel to Tural, a continent across the sea, to participate in a rite of succession to determine the next leader of Tuliyollal. They will serve as champion for Wuk Lamat, one of the current leader’s children. They are joined by allies from Eorzea who support different candidates. After the climactic events of Endwalker, Dawntrail was designed as a “summer vacation” for the player’s character, the Warrior of Light. In addition to adding new areas, the expansion pack increased the level cap, debuted two character classes and a new playable race, and initiated the game’s first major graphical overhaul since its relaunch in 2013.
At launch, Dawntrail received generally positive reviews, though it was notably not as well received as its widely acclaimed previous expansions, Shadowbringers and Endwalker.

I was playing this game at 1:20 on my OLED TV on a 3080 until I realized going past 60 breaks the jiggle physics so locked at 60 FPS I am!
I speak for everyone when I say "We want vlog footage from the 12 hours in line!"
Isn't the only thing that would change be the FPS? I don't think this game has the visuals to fully take advantage of this GPU.
