FFXIV: Shadowbringers Hits PC And Console Worldwide

Final Fantasy XIV players have plenty to be happy about, as Square Enix has officially launched the latest expansion; Shadowbringers. Shadowbringers introduces two new player races, new jobs, and a level cap increase to 80. Along with the new player jobs/races, players will be able to challenge dungeons with a party of trusted non-playable characters, as well as tackle previously completed quests under a new game+ system.

If you are interested in getting into Final Fantasy XIV, there is a trial available with no purchase necessary. A Tales of Adventure pack is available to speed a character through the Stormblood story content for those who do not wish to grind through the story a second or third time.
