The latest Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live Part LXXXI has revealed a new trailer, showcasing all the classes and their new Dawntrail actions, the new login screen, and more!
The Live Letter kicked off with a really cool Job Actions trailer, which showcased all of the new job actions coming with Dawntrail across all classes. We recommend that you watch it if you haven't already!
Let us also take a moment to appreciate Dawntrail's beautiful opening screen! The summer vibes are palpable, and the themed music could not be more fitting. When you first log into Dawntrail, you will truly feel as if a new adventure is about to begin!
With every new expansion comes a bunch of new actions for each class, tailored to the increased level cap. The development team has also made adjustments in response to player feedback.
A key focus has been to make sure that controller hotbars have ample space for all the new actions. This has led to the introduction of a new action change setting, offering you the choice to replace old actions with new ones as you see fit.
Next, we are going to dive deep into each of the new actions. Keep in mind that this list isn't fully complete, so stay tuned for more updates:
TANKS:

During the recent Live Letter, Yoshi-P shared new details about the Fantasia potion! Find out what's new and what it means for your characters!
With the release of Dawntrail, a new NPC will be introduced in Ul'dah to teach you what Fantasia is. The quest will be accessible to players of all levels and will reward a Fantasia Potion. The aim of this quest is to educate both new and veteran players about what Fantasia is and what it can do. Upon completion, players will gain access to a more advanced character creation system.
After consuming a Fantasia Potion, you will have a 60-minute window to enter the game and return to the character creation screen for any necessary changes. This process can be repeated indefinitely within the 60-minute time frame, even when initially creating a character.
This significant change allows you to fix any tiny differences that may not be true to your vision, especially when seen in different in-game environments.
How excited are you about the new character creation feature? Let us know!

Following the release of the Dawntrail Benchmark, players reported that characters did not look as expected, among other issues. Yoshi-P has provided additional details regarding the changes that are being implemented.
During the latest Live Letter, Yoshi-P gave an update on the upcoming benchmark improvements. Here is everything you need to know:
Yoshi-P acknowledged that the character creation screen was not accurately represent how characters would appear in-game. The team is working hard to correct these differences and apply bug fixes so that the Benchmark matches what players will see in-game in Dawntrail.
Lighting Improvements and Changes:
The team has revisited details such as the canine teeth for Miqo’te characters. Based on additional feedback, they are considering whether the teeth should appear longer or shorter. For face types 1 and 3, the canine teeth have been adjusted to look longer, while for face type 4, they will appear smaller.
Addressing Other Racial Characteristics:
Yoshi-P also informed us that they are rectifying issues with Lalafell’s ‘cursed’ teeth and other racial characteristics that have been brought to their attention.
The benchmark software will soon be updated with these changes, around May 30th, to make sure that Dawntrail's quality meets the highest standards!

The beloved Moogle treasure trove event is returning: take part in the Second Hunt for Genesis Tomestones and get your hands on rare Emerald carbuncle earrings, the Gabriel α identification key, and more!
The Moogle Treasure Trove will start on Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, at 1:00 AM (PDT).
to Monday, June 24, 2024, at 7:59 a.m. (PDT). You will be able to collect Irregular tomestones of Genesis II by completing specific duties and exchange them for rare and exclusive items, such as the Emerald Carbuncle Earrings, Ufiti Horn, Gabriel α Identification Key, and much more!
The event is a great opportunity to enjoy some of the most iconic and memorable content from the past decade of FFXIV.
You will have access to a Mogpendium, just like you had in the first part of the event:
The Mogpendium has all the details needed for collecting Tomestones. Instead of merely having several types of dungeons to farm, you'll have multiple new ways to obtain the new Tomestones:
Standard Objectives: This is the regular way of earning Tomestones. Simply complete the required duties (which will feature a Moogle icon in the duty finder). Additionally, you can now also get Tomestones from GATEs (the Gold Saucer events) and Ocean Fishing routes. However, keep in mind that Tomestones are not rewarded when using adventurer squadrons or duty support, as the Level Sync option must be used for unrestricted parties. You will also need to score at least 1200 points when ocean fishing to earn Tomestones. Weekly Objectives: Weekly objectives will be assigned to each player and updated every Tuesday at 12:00 AM (PST). You can check your weekly objectives through the Mogpendium, and completing them will earn you additional Tomestones. Minimog Challenges: You will have to select one of two objectives, which can only be fulfilled once every week. It's a way to complete a variety of challenges during the event that you wouldn't normally do. Minimog challenges will also reset on Tuesday at 12:00 AM (PST). Ultimog Challenges: These challenges can only be completed once during the duration of the event. They will give you a significant amount of Tomestones, so it is worth trying your luck! You can check the Mogpendium at any given time during the event. Standard Objective rewards are automatically added to your inventory when you complete the duties, while the Weekly, Minimog, and Ultimog Challenges will have to be claimed through the Mogpendium.
Keep in mind that you will need to claim your Mogpendium rewards before the launch of Dawntrail!
Once you have enough Tomestones, head to the usual Itinerant Moogle to exchange them for rewards! You can find one near the main Crystal in each of the starting cities: Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks, New Gridania, and Ul’dah Steps of Nald.
Rewards from the Itinerant Moogle will be available until the release of patch 7.1.
For more information and a complete list of rewards, you can check out the official event post here: Moogle Treasure Trove: The Second Hunt for Genesis
