The second part of “Before The Fall” patch is scheduled for release on March 31, 2015. It will be the final major patch before the upcoming expansion pack, titled as Heavensward. You can learn more about Heavensward here. 

Square Enix has shared new details and screenshots from Final Fantasy XIV: Patch 2.55, which is releasing next week. The players will be prepared for Heavensward one last time before it launches on 23rd June. Are you ready to challenge the mighty dragon Vishap and solve new mysteries?

A great wyrm’s roar echoes through the skies of Coerthas, calling all dragonkind to war. The Gates of Judgement, Ishgard’s outermost defenses, now come under attack. With the city’s very survival in the balance, can the Scions of the Seventh Dawn rally the Eorzean Alliance─or is the Holy See doomed to fall?

The Steps of Faith─the sole means of approaching the city of Ishgard. As well as providing passage across the Sea of Clouds, this great stone bridge also serves to anchor the series of arcane wards known as Daniffen’s Collar.

Long has the Holy See relied upon these barriers to shield the city from Dravanian assault, but it did not foresee the brazen attack that would take place at the Gates of Judgement. The outermost layer of protection has been dispelled, allowing the mighty dragon Vishap to land upon the far end of the Steps of Faith. Leading an army of lesser kin, the massive creature is intent on destroying the exposed foundations of the remaining wards. Take up position alongside the Temple Knights, and defend the structure from the ravaging forces of the Horde!

Previous “Before the Fall” patches added new dungeons, trials, a raid, the Gold Saucer and more. Now it’s good time to return in Eorzea and have fun with your friends as you take down new bosses or simply compete against each other at Chocobo Racing! And that new precious 120lv loot from The World of Darkness! (which I never get as a tank, hah!) You can expect more details about the patch 2.55 soon.
