Dawntrail Expansion Overview
Dawntrail isn’t just another expansion—it’s a leap forward for the Final Fantasy XIV universe.

The expansion will introduce two entirely new classes with unique mechanics, adding fresh layers of depth to the gameplay. Additionally, players can look forward to exploring a wealth of new dungeons, each presenting its own set of challenges to overcome.
Perhaps most exciting of all is the announcement that the level cap will be increased to an impressive three digits, reaching level 100.
