It’ll also include a new series of side quests focused on globetrotting detective Hildibrand Manderville. Those who prefer interior design to exterior beauty will be glad to hear that Dawntrail will increase the furnishing limit for FFXIV’s housing.Īs far as side content goes, FFXIV: Dawntrail will also bring new lifestyle content to the game, in a similar vein to the much-beloved Island Sanctuary feature introduced in post- Endwalker updates. Also, glasses and headgear will be considered separate categories of equipment, so player characters can wear both at once. In addition, the dye system for equipment will be upgraded in Dawntrail, with the ability to apply up to two different colors of dye to a single piece of equipment. Yoshida assured players who have grown attached to their characters’ original looks that the development team is not attempting to change the overall aesthetic of FFXIV - just to bring it up to date.įFXIV’s Crafters, Gatherers, and fashionistas will see their level caps increased as well, and they’ll also be able to harvest new ingredients and hone their skills with new, regional recipes. While developments so far focus on new and improved foliage, shadows, character faces, and material textures, this will be an extended endeavor - this is only the first of many graphical updates. Dawntrail also marks the beginning of FFXIV’s effort to upgrade its graphical fidelity system-wide.
