    Although it's not perfect, Dawntrail is one of the most ambitious expansions Final Fantasy XIV has ever had. Its story is good enough to entertain, but its gameplay is what this new adventure will be remembered by. With some amazing dungeons, trials and raids, Square Enix is, once again, proving that the 11 years old formula of the MMO is far from stale in 2024. [Recommended]

    So far, Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is the summer vacation we all needed after a busy release season. At least I needed a break after putting in tons of time into Trails through Daybreak, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and still playing Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree. Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail looks great on Steam Deck and Xbox, it sounds incredible, and I can’t wait to see where things go later on. I just hope we get more voiced dialog added.
