Adventurers, you have come a long way since you started your journey in A Realm Reborn and fought your way through the lands surrounding Ishgard in Heavensward. Now, with today's update in Patch 3.56, you can experience the conclusion of the Heavensward main scenario! Take a leap towards the culmination of the Heavensward storyline and use the remaining time to ready yourself for Stormblood, our next massive expansion! Remember: You need to have finished the Heavensward scenario to start your travels towards Doma and Ala Mhigo in Stormblood.

Of course, there are many other updates with today’s patch. Challenging Alexander - The Creator has never been easier with its weekly restriction removed. And if you've been hungering for battle in the Wolves' Den, then steel yourself for the fourth season of the Feast. All this, and more awaits in the Far Edge of Fate!

Last but not least, if you want to show the amazing world of FINAL FANTASY XIV to your friends, they now have all the time in the world, as the 14-day time limit has been removed! They can adventure to their heart’s content for free up to level 35!

Read all about it in the 3.56 patch notes on the Lodestone.

We know that it’s not easy to get a point across or ask for help when you aren't fully confident in English, given that English is the default language here on Steam. Good news – thanks to our German and French community representatives spreading their presence to the FFXIV Steam forums, we can now offer you German and French sub-forums!

So make sure to check out the forums and say Hallo or Bonjour!
