==Introduction==<br />
<br />
''Dawntrail'' (considered [[patch 7.0|version 7.0]] of the game) is the fifth [[expansion]] for ''Final Fantasy XIV'', after ''[[Endwalker]]''. It was released on July 2, 2024, with early access starting on June 28.<br />
__TOC__<br />
==Story==<br />
Winds of opportunity bring a visitor from the New World, seeking the Warrior of Light's aid in a rite of succession to determine [[Tural]]'s next ruler.<br><br />
Alongside Alphinaud, Alisaie and Erenville, the Warrior of Light embarks upon a journey across the Indigo Deep. Should rumor be true, the contest may lead them to the fabled gates of a City of Gold.<br><br />
Little do they know that it will also see the Scions divided...<br />

===Design===<br />
Gameplay and content-wise, Dawntrail will focus on the following, according to the PAX East panel hosted on March 23, 2024:<br />
* Refined multiplayer gameplay<br />
* More large-scale duties<br />
* A more fulfulling gaming experience<br />
** A reduction in boss hitbox sizes, which have become very large in Endwalker<br />
** Fewer recycled mechanics in encounters<br />
* Improved rewards (approximately 1.5x the number of rewards by patch 7.3)<br />
<br />
Job design builds on level 90 (Endwalker) jobs, although [[dragoon]], [[monk]], and [[black mage]] received minor reworks and [[astrologian]] cards were entirely reworked. Other changes to existing job actions focused on reducing button bloat and increasing ease of use.<br />
