If you’ve already finished Dawntrail’s main story and have been itching for more new Final Fantasy XIV content, you’re in luck. The first chapter of Dawntrail’s “The Arcadion” 8-person raid series arrives tomorrow, July 16, as part of Patch 7.01.
As usual, the first chapter will include the first 4 raids in their Normal difficulties. Thanks to last month’s Live Letter from the Producer, we already know that the Savage variations will be released on July 30. Also explained with minimal details in June’s Live Letter was the “The Arcadion” story arc, which involves the Warrior of Light being thrust into a tournament-style combat sport with their primary goal being survival.
Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida gave players a quick glimpse at one of the bosses featured in “The Arcadion’s” futuristic, Cyberpunk-esque backdrop. Called Black Cat based on a Japanese translation, parties of 8 players will be duking it out with the hulking Miqo’te in a massive professional wrestling-type arena with throngs of spectators filling the surrounding stands.
According to a Lodestone post, maintenance for Patch 7.01 and “The Arcadion” content is coming tonight at 11:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. PDT on July 16.
