Template:Infobox CVG Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is the upcoming second expansion pack of Final Fantasy XIV, announced at the 2016 Fan Fest, being released for PC, Macintosh, and PlayStation 4. It officially marks the end of Final Fantasy XIV on PlayStation 3, with support for the platform being discontinued coinciding with the expansion's launch.[1]

The expansion sees Adventurers heading to the east of the continent of Aldenard and beyond to the continent of Othard, liberating both the city-states of Ala Mhigo and Doma from the Garlean Empire.

Features

  • The expansion automatically increases the level cap to 70 for all disciplines.
  • The battle system will be revamped. One change is that cross-class skills will now be determined by role rather than specific classes.
  • New jobs Red Mage and Samurai.
  • New areas are said to be comparable to Heavensward areas in size. Flying mounts supported.
  • Players will be able to go swimming and diving in bodies of water.
  • The story begins in a place called Rhalgr's Reach.
  • A new continent to explore: far eastern Othard.
  • New locations, including the island chain of Hingashi; the Ruby Sea, home to pirates and the Kojin beast tribe; Yanxia, home to the Garlean-occupied Doma; and the Azim Steppe, ancestral home of the Au Ra.
  • A new city, the port town of Kugane, in Hingashi.
  • A new far eastern styped housing area, Shirogane.
  • Two new Beast Tribes, the Ananta, a serpentine tribe, and the Kojin, a tortoise-like tribe.
  • New Primals, including the Ananta primal Lakshmi, Lady of Bliss, and the Kojin primal Susano, Lord of the Revel.
  • A new high-end raid: Interdimensional Rift - Omega, the Bend of Time.
  • A new 24-man raid series: Return to Ivalice, with a story written by Yasumi Matsuno.
  • Exploratory missions set in The Forbidden Land of Eureka.
  • The inventory system will be expanded.

Trivia

  • The literal name of the expansion in Japanese is Guren no Kaihō-sha (紅蓮の解放者?), which translates to "Liberators of the Crimson Lotus". However, the term Kaihō-sha (解放者?) is meant to be read as Riberēta (リベレータ?) in accordance with the furigana provided.
  • As with his Batman/James Bond teases for Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, director Naoki Yoshida wore a Scarlet Witch shirt to the announcement event to tease a new upcoming class. Scarlet Witch is a synonym for Red Mage. At another event he wore a Spider-Man shirt to tease a different class, which was a much more obscure connection - namely the similar spelling between film director Sam Raimi, who directed the 2000s Spider-Man trilogy, and Samurai.
