To celebrate the upcoming release of Dawntrail, the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Store will be hosting the Adventure Jump Start Sale! For a limited time, job-level boosts and scenario skip items will be on sale for 50% off starting Friday, May 31 around 1:00 a.m. (PDT).

Edit: Maintenance is done and the store is back up. It's still story skips to the end of Shadowbringers and level skips to level 80. So if you're prepping a new character for DT you'll still need to complete Endwalker.

As many of you likely know, the character creator in the benchmark didn't actually feature the new lighting engine, so they're working on an updated version alongside dawntrail itself - pretty huge difference side by side here as seen in the live letter update!

Apparently an updated benchmark tool will be released at the end of the month/beginning of June for people to test out ahead of Dawntrail, with many fixes in tow (including the lala dolphin teeth, lol)

(Hope the attached images work!)

Discuss the announced job changes, especially Monk will get bigger rework, Astrologian's cards won't be random anymore and so on. I personally like it, because Monk felt like an overly convoluted class with these overarching debuffs. And otherwise it is QoL improvements, even if the naysayers will as always denounce it as a carebear design.

Aorzia has gotten a bit stale lately, hasn't it?

tl;dr Fantasia will give a 60-minute window for you to go back into the editor to keep making changes

Since a DC wave today I can't see any global or party chat, just a single shout message. Is this what happens on a server overload?

We'll be getting the job previews, supposedly.

I got my UWU clear last month so I'm kind of just doing nothing in the game, since I dont think I can prog TEA from the beginning before DT.

TL;DR sounds like there were some widely reported visual bugs related to texturing and lighting under some circumstances (notably character creator) which they're going to patch up

Looks like someone managed to pull the gear sets from the benchmark. Loving the extra detail to all the gear, even if some look a little boring.
