FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker is scheduled for release next month, and will bring an end to a Final Fantasy story that’s been in the making for over a decade. Players have had a very long journey and now it looks like the Warrior of Light is getting ready for a moon landing, so players may want a refresher on the major events that have built up to this climax as they prepare for Endwalker. Some may have fuzzy memories after years of play, and some may have used paid Scenario Skip items to jump ahead, so here’s a summary of the major events in FFXIV’s story before Endwalker.

The first iteration of Final Fantasy XIV was released in 2010 and was largely considered a failure, but its story was still the groundwork for what followed in A Realm Reborn. It began its story on the planet Hydaelyn, named for its mother-goddess of the same name, in the realm of Eorzea. Eorzea is full of many cultures and races, including beastmen who summon deities known as Primals.

These Primals are traditional Final Fantasy series summons, including Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda, and others. Each one was dangerous and powerful, and often caused problems for the city-states of Eorzea. The Garlean Empire, or Garlemald, is one of the main antagonistic forces of FFXIV. The Empire wants to annex everything outside of its borders and had a particularly strong urge to exterminate Eorzea’s Primal problem.

Version 1.0 – Final Fantasy XIV (2010) Introduces Eorzea

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

Nael van Darnus, leader of Garlemald’s VIIth Imperial Legion, investigated relics from the ancient civilization of Allag in search of information that would help them subjugate the world. They studied an Allagan lunar transmitter and the forgotten, devastating spell Meteor, and ultimately used this knowledge to pull the lesser moon Dalamud from orbit and drop it on Eorzea.

To make the situation worse, the moon itself was actually an Allagan prison for the elder Primal Bahamut, who broke free as it reached Hydaelyn’s atmosphere. Its emergence devastated the planet and the dragon destroyed Eorzean and Garlean forces alike until Louisoix Leveilleur performed a ritual, causing both him and Bahamut to vanish. It’s implied that the player character Warrior of Light from version 1.0 of FFXIV was safely teleported five years into the future – when the timeline of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn begins.

Patch 2.0 – FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Starts The Mission To Rebuild & Save Eorzea

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

The Warrior of Light began their real journey five years after the Calamity, the event surrounding the fallen moon Dalamud. Hydaelyn, a being referred to as the “Mothercrystal” and considered the source of all life, appeared to the Warrior of Light in a vision. In this aetherial rift, the Final Fantasy XIV player character battled against a hooded being of darkness, later revealed to be an Ascian. Hydaelyn bestowed her blessing upon the player and granted them the power of the Echo.

Early in their adventures, the Warrior of Light joined with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and defeated the Primals that threatened Eorzea. The Echo blessing from Hydaelyn gave the Warrior special powers, one of which was the ability to resist Primal tempering. Primals can easily enthrall people and make them do their bidding, but since the Warrior of Light can’t be tempered, they’re a prime candidate for taking them down.

Eventually, the Garleans stormed the Scion’s base, taking their leader Minfilia and other Scions captive, but mostly murdered everyone inside. In response, the Warrior of Light teamed up with recurring Final Fantasy name and Garlean defector Cid Garlond and prepared to both rescue their friends and avenge those who died. They used his airship to take on the Primal Garuda, but then both Ifrit and Titan got resummoned, too. Gaius van Baelsar shows up with the ancient Allagan Ultima Weapon, and the war machine consumes all three Primals. An Ascian named Lahabrea helped the Garleans unearth it for his own agenda of defeating Hydaelyn and her weakening light.

Now that the Empire had a superpowered weapon of destruction, they prepared to finish the job and seize Eorzea. However, the Warrior of Light rescued their friends, broke into the Garlean base, and defeated the Ultima Weapon and Gaius with Hydaelyn’s blessing. Lahabrea showed up in the body of fellow Scion Thancred and battled the Final Fantasy 14 Warrior of Light, claiming Hydaelyn was a corrupted entity that imbalanced the planet. The Warrior beat him up and reclaimed Thancred’s body and mind while Eorzea pushed back the Imperial assault.

FFXIV Events After A Realm Reborn’s Main Scenario Quests

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

Sometime later, Alphinaud (Louisoix Leveilleur’s grandson) formed the impartial Crystal Braves organization to assist the Scions of the Seventh Dawn without ties to any specific city-state. Aymeric of Ishgard, a city-state outside of the Eorzean Alliance, requested that the Scions keep watch over the Keeper of the Lake. This was a derelict Garlean warship that was destroyed by the wyrmking Midgardsormr long ago, and the dragon’s corpse still remained coiled around it – but FFXIV-style astrologists predicted his reawakening.

Dragons were the enemy of Ishgard and were constantly trying to destroy them. They were assisted by a woman named Ysayle who could channel the power of the Primal Shiva. According to Ishgardian legend, Shiva was a maiden who fell in love with the dragon Hraesvelgr. Ysayle wanted Ishgard and its Archbishop to fall so the whole truth of their society could be revealed. The Great Wyrm Nidhogg roared to lead the dragons to battle and woke up his father Midgardsormr in the process. Midgardsormr understood why his children were filled with despair and decided to passively watch how the Warrior of Light would handle the war. Invoking an ancient pact with Hydaelyn, Midgardsormr removed the Warrior’s blessing and was reborn as a little Final Fantasy 14 dragon minion that followed the player around.

Back in Ul’dah, the Crystal Braves investigated rumors of a Garlean spy around the same time Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo planned to make her land a republic. She wanted to dissolve both the monarchy and the Syndicate, which is essentially a council of rich people, but the Syndicate planned to have her assassinated instead. When the Sultana held a banquet to announce her plans of a republic, she drank from a poisoned chalice and seemingly died.

The Warrior of Light was blamed for her death and the Crystal Braves turned traitor, allied with the Monetarists. Now fugitives of the corrupted city-state, the Scions fled from Ul’dah and were scattered in the chaos. The player escaped to frozen Coerthas and took refuge under the hospitality of Lord Haurchefant until the city of Ishgard could grant them asylum, leading to the first FFXIV expansion, Heavensward.

Patch 3.0 – FFXIV: Heavensward Brings Ageless Dragons & New Allies

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

In an attempt to negotiate peace between Ishgard and the dragons, the Warrior of Light joined with the Azure Dragoon Estinien, expert dragon-killer and keeper of Nidhogg’s eye, and Ysayle, the powerful ally of the dragons at this point in Final Fantasy 14’s story. They wished to appeal to Nidhogg’s brother, Hraesvelgr, but he refused to negotiate with the group. Meanwhile, in Ul’dah, it is discovered that the poison meant for the Sultana was replaced with a sleeping agent, and she is actually still alive.

After a great conflict, Estinien killed Nidhogg by using his own left eye against him. Hraesvelgr revealed to the Ishgardians the lies that constructed the church: ages ago, the people of Coerthas murdered his sister, Ratatoskr, to claim her eyes and the power within. Timeless rage and despair were what led FFXIV’s Nidhogg and the dragons to fight against Ishgard so violently. A revolution began in Ishgard and Archbishop Thordan VII fled to the floating Allagan continent Azys Lla, urged on by the chaos-seeking Ascians.

With the support of Midgardsormr, the player regains the Blessing of Light and follows the Archbishop to Azys Lla. Thordan used Allagan technology to turn his followers and himself into Primals but the Warrior of Light defeated them all. Around this point, Nidhogg’s spirit possessed Estinien’s body through his eyes and immediately continued his war against Ishgard. Midgardsormr agreed to work with Aymeric, now the acting ruler of Ishgard, to try to achieve peace.

Krile, a Scion blessed with the Echo, arrived in Eorzea and helped locate Thancred in the Dravanian wilderness. With the help of FFXIV’s Matoya, Scion Y’shtola’s mentor, the Scions tried to find Minfilia, who had been missing since the escape from Ul’dah. Flow magic used to escape ultimately led Minfilia through the aether to Hydaelyn, where she gave up her body to help strengthen her. At this point in Final Fantasy 14’s story Aymeric held a peace conference between the dragons and Ishgard, but Nidhogg showed up in Estinien’s body and ruined it, declaring that the final stage of the Dragonsong War was imminent. With some convincing from Midgardsormr, Hraesvelgr put the player through a trial and finally agreed to help them. Hraesvelgr fought his brother Nidhogg, lost, then entrusted one of his eyes to the Warrior of Light who defeated him in his stead.

They free Estinien from Nidhogg’s control by removing the dragon eyes and throwing the pair into the abyss of the Sea of Clouds. With the war over and the not-so-holy Final Fantasy Archbishop dead, Aymeric re-established a treaty between Ishgard and the dragons. The city began to rebuild and change under his rule, and Estinien resigned as the Azure Dragoon to begin his own journey. However, the Ascian Elidibus retrieved Nidhogg’s eyes for use in his own plans. He was assisted by a group of adventurers he summoned from another world, who called themselves the Warriors of Darkness. These adventurers were Hydaelyn’s chosen from the First of the thirteen reflections of the world, and came to the player’s world, the Source, in a desperate bid to save their own world from destruction. If they helped usher in the Ascian’s Rejoining, their world would be saved from oblivion.

How FFXIV: Heavensward’s Events Set Up Future Expansions

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

After a close battle between the Warrior of Light and the Warriors of Darkness, Scion Urianger appeared and saved the player. The Warriors of Darkness refused to give up and set the stage for FFXIV: Shadowbringers. With their crystals of light, they and the Warrior of Light appeared before Hydaelyn in the aetherial rift. Minfilia was set free to act as her envoy, and left for the First with the Warriors of Darkness, intending to stop the Flood of Light that threatened to destroy it. The player and the rest of the Scions are returned to the Source.

Back on the Source, an independent faction of the Ala Mhigan resistance prepared to reclaim their home from the Garlean Empire and push into Gyr Abania. Elidibus gave the Griffin, the leader of the faction, Nidhogg’s eyes. The Griffin dressed his resistance members in Eorzean Alliance colors and attacked the Garlean fortress Baelsar’s Wall, hoping to incriminate Eorzea and drag them into the war. With the eyes of Nidhogg, the Griffin sacrificed himself to summon forth an immensely powerful Primal, empowered by the pain and rage of soldiers dying in the slaughter. Scion Papalymo temporarily sealed the newly-born Primal away with a spell replicating the one Louisoix used on this Final Fantasy’s version of Bahamut but died in the process.

Cid proposed that they use Omega, an ancient weapon found buried in the earth, to destroy the new Primal before the seal shattered. It arrived just in time to fight it as it emerged, and eventually bound the Primal and launched it away. After crashing, Omega broke free from the Allagan control devices and entered the Interdimensional Rift. The fate of both Omega and the Primal, named Shinryu, remained unknown to the Eorzean Alliance.

The Eorzean Alliance entered Gyr Abania after crumbling Baelsar’s Wall. Scion Yda, an Ala Mhigan, reveals that she is actually Lyse, the original Yda’s younger sister. The Scion Arenvald joined the effort to help free his birthplace as well. The Ala Mhigan Resistance grew but was in trouble once the FFXIV expansion of Stormblood hit.

Patch 4.0 – FFXIV: Stormblood Frees Nations From Garlemald & Introduces Zenos

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

Imperial Viceroy and prince of the Garlean Empire, Zenos yae Galvus, effortlessly crushed the Resistance’s new base and defeated the Warrior of Light early on in Stormblood. The Eorzean Alliance regrouped, switching gears to rebuild and gather resources for the resistance before waging war. Othard, the homeland of several Eorzean refugees, was also on the brink of revolting against the Empire.

The Warrior of Light traveled to Othard’s port city Kugane and began to gather support. Piece by piece, more factions in Final Fantasy 14 banded together and formed an alliance. Eorzean refugee Yugiri finds Hein, her master and the crown prince of the kingdom of Doma. He refused to start another rebellion unless the people had the will to fight, but is eventually convinced by the player’s efforts. With the combined forces of Othard, they flood their enemies out of Doma Castle and retake it.

Around this time, the Empire captured Scion Krile and experimented on her. Zenos is determined to unlock the mysteries of the Echo to grow his own strength even further. When the Warrior of Light learned of this, they rejoined with the recovered resistance force in Gyr Abania. Doma’s liberation diverted Imperial forces and resources, so they took the opportunity to make a comeback. Krile is freed by Lyse, and the Imperial Fordola is defeated, even though she is Resonant: a soldier empowered by an artificial Echo made from Garlean research.

The Warrior of Light and their allies stormed Ala Mhigo, where Zenos is found to have captured the Primal Shinryu. He used his own Resonant powers to possess the creature and battled FFXIV’s Warrior of Light, but this time was defeated. Thrilled that he finally experienced a true challenge in his life, he kills himself by slitting his own throat in one of the Final Fantasy game’s darker moments.

Ala Mhigo and Doma continued their rebuilding efforts, and the situation improved. However, rumors compelled the Warrior of Light and company to examine Zenos’ grave, and they find it empty. The Scions worried about Ascian involvement and soon enough it is revealed that the Ascian Elidibus has possessed Zenos’ corpse, while Zenos’ mind is within the body of an Imperial soldier. The Garlean Emperor Varis zos Galvus begrudgingly goes along with the Ascian schemes. Alphinaud attempted to investigate by traveling to Garlemald himself, but the Scions lose contact with him.

The newly-expanded Alliance gathered together to decide what to do about the Imperial situation, but during the meeting, all of the Scions were stricken with agony and heard a voice in their minds. Thancred collapsed and remained unresponsive. After an examination, it is determined that he was Called, meaning his soul was separated from his body. The remaining Scions regrouped at their base in the Rising Stones to inform Urianger of the situation. Again, they were all wracked with pain, and this time Y’shtola and Urianger collapse as they are Called as FFXIV’s Stormblood MSQ drew closer to ending.

Back in Garlemald, the fake Zenos suggested to Varis that the Empire launch a counterattack against Ala Mhigo immediately, but Varis ignored his recommendation. After, another Ascian appeared to Varis and introduced himself as Solus zos Galvus. He insulted his coworker Elidibus’ boring nature and Varis’ lack of action, and when Varis shot his body dead, Solus merely reappeared in an identical body.

FFXIV’s Story After Stormblood’s MSQ

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

The Scions eventually find Alphinaud in the care of an Ascian-killer named Shadowhunter, but Alphinaud is unconscious in FFXIV as he has also been Called. It turns out that the Shadowhunter is actually Gaius Baelsar, who has defected from the Empire. He was not pleased with Emperor Varis’ plans to help Ascians with the Rejoining, which would essentially destroy all the reflections of the world to restore its original form, and make the dark god Zodiark whole.

As expected, negotiations between the Alliance and Empire failed and the conflict escalated into open warfare. The pain and voices kept battering the Scions until Alisaie Leveilleur was Called, too. Their friends dropping like flies, the Warrior of Light followed the voice in their head to the Allagan Crystal Tower in Mor Dhona. The Crystal Tower was a key element of the fall of Allag, as the kingdom tried to contain solar energy transmitted from Dalamud inside the Tower, which ended in utter catastrophe. The last Allagan princess Salina used their technology to place her genetic code into a different bloodline, in hopes that one day the Tower could be restored as a symbol of hope. Her blood ended up in the Mi’qote scholar G’raha Tia, who sealed the Tower and himself inside it at the end of the FFXIV Crystal Tower raid series. With newfound knowledge of his bloodline and purpose, he believed Salina’s dream could be realized when Eorzea developed a means of unlocking the gate themselves.

So, the Warrior of Light, their friends Called away, traveled to the Crystal Tower. The voice urged them to find a beacon there. Once they located it, the voice could finally Call the player, too: leading to the current expansion, Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers.

Patch 5.0 – FFXIV: Shadowbringers Dives Into A Parallel World

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

FFXIV: Shadowbringers begins with the Warrior of Light being successfully Called to Norvrandt in the First shard, the same world that the Warriors of Darkness hailed from. They arrive at the Crystarium, a city built around what looks exactly like the Crystal Tower of the Source, and are greeted by the Crystal Exarch, its mysterious caretaker. Every time the Exarch tried to summon the player to the First, he kept Calling the wrong Scion, so now all of the Warrior’s pals have been in the First for years, as time there passes differently.

Norvrandt is a small region in FFXIV: Shadowbringers with eternal daylight, with the entire rest of the world a bleached-white wasteland surrounding it. Minfilia arrived in the First nearly a century ago and managed to halt the Flood of Light, but it’s still on the verge of being utterly consumed and causing another Calamity on the Source. Holy beings dubbed Sin Eaters roam the last remaining bit of habitable earth and kill every person they encounter, transforming them into Sin Eaters as well. The Crystal Exarch and the Scions have been trying to save the last bit of life on earth from flickering out, and he believes the player can turn the tables with Hydaelyn’s blessing.

In the Crystarium, the Warrior of Light encounters the spirit of Ardbert, the axe-wielding Warrior of Darkness that they met in the past. He and his companions died to help Minfilia halt the Flood before the main events of Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers and he alone has wandered around Norvrandt as a shade ever since. No one else has ever been able to see him, but the player can. Meanwhile, the Warrior of Light searches for their Scion friends and meets back up with Alphinaud and Alisaie, and together they save a village under attack by Sin Easters. A powerful Sin Eater called a Lightwarden is slain by the Warrior, and they absorb its light into themselves. Previously, every Lightwarden claimed the bodies of their slayer and transformed them into a new Lightwarden, but Hydaelyn’s blessing protects the player from this. With its Lightwarden dead, the area of Lakeland has night return to the sky for the first time in living memory.

The Scions reunite with Thancred, who is now a Gunbreaker in FFXIV and caring for a girl named “Minfilia,” the latest incarnation of the Scion Minfilia and barer of her powers. They continue their quest to quell the light and defeat another Lightwarden, returning night to the fae realm Il Mheg. Urianger joins the party, and as they move on to meet with Y’shtola, they are approached by Solus zos Galvus, who introduces himself as the Ascian Emet-Selch. He desires mutual understanding between the Scions and Ascians and wishes to accompany them on their quest. The Scions hesitate but decide to let him hang around.

FFXIV: Finding Old Friends & New Enemies In Shadowbringers’ Story

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

After getting Y’shtola, the party explores Ronkan ruins in the Rak’tika Greatwood, destroys a Lightwarden, and comes across an ancient mural depicting Hydaelyn and Zodiark. Emet-Selch, the FFXIV villain who’s paired up with them for now, explains the history it depicts: Both deities are Primals created by the Ascians’ lost civilization. Zodiark was summoned to save the world from apocalypse, and Hydaelyn was summoned by those who wanted to check his power. In the ensuing battle, she Sundered the world into the Source and thirteen reflected worlds, one of which is the First.

The Scions are shaken by this revelation but continue their quest to defeat all the Lightwardens. “Minfilia” would be able to locate them, but she doesn’t have all of the original’s strength. They travel to the place where she halted the Flood, and there “Minfilia” communes with the original. Scion Minfilia resided within various young women of the First over the past century, claiming their bodies as her own, much like an Ascian possession. She decides to cease existing and gives the girl her power, rather than take over her body. “Minfilia” is renamed Ryne as she truly becomes her own person and unique FFXIV character, and they hunt down the last of the Lightwardens in the latter part of FFXIV: Shadowbringers’ MSQ.

When the final Lightwarden is defeated, the Warrior of Light is overwhelmed by the massive accumulation of Light aether. The Crystal Exarch attempts to absorb all of the aether into himself, intending to teleport himself and the Crystal Tower into the Dimensional Rift. He would die, but the Light would be safely eliminated. Emet-Selch stops him, breaks off his truce with the Scions, and kidnaps the Crystal Exarch, who is now revealed as G’raha Tia of the Source.

G’raha came from a future where the Warrior of Light died and almost all life on Eorzea was wiped out. The survivors struggled for years until they could awaken G’raha within the Crystal Tower. With Cid Garlond’s notes, they enabled the Crystal Tower to travel through time and space, and G’raha was sent with it in an attempt to rewrite history and save the Warrior of Light. If G’raha prevented the First from ending and Rejoining with the Source, the calamity that destroyed Eorzea wouldn’t take place, thus tying A Realm Reborn more directly to Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers.

Emet-Selch foiled his plans, though. Ryne is able to temporarily halt the Warrior of Light’s transformation into a Lightwarden, but they don’t have a permanent solution. The night sky disappears and endless light returns to all of Norvrandt while the Scions pursue Emet-Selch to the bottom of the ocean. There, Emet-Selch uses his aether to create an illusion of his people’s lost city of Amaurot. He tests the Scions and the Warrior of Light with a vision of Amaurot’s horrific end and is ultimately unimpressed with their performance.

The Warrior is on the brink of succumbing to the Light when Ardbert appears to them, revealing that he is a fragment of their original soul from before the Sundering. He merges with the warrior to stabilize them, and Emet-Selch becomes distressed as their soul reminds him of an old friend. He casts aside his title and challenges the Warrior of Light with his true name, Hades. After his defeat, his last request is for the Warrior to remember his people, bringing the MSQ narrative of FFXIV: Shadowbringers to an end.

FFXIV: Shadowbringers’ Post-MSQ Story & Major Events

FFXIVs Entire Story Timeline Of Major Events Before Endwalker

Back on the Source, Zenos reclaims his body, which was discarded by Elidibus after he sensed Emet-Selch’s defeat. He murders his father Varis to prevent him from interfering with his singular desire to have a rematch with the Warrior of Light. The Empire itself begins to crumble from within, as the post-MSQ for FFXIV: Shadowbringers kicks off.

Elidibus arrives in the First and possesses Ardbert’s corpse, inspiring people down the Warrior of Light’s path and preparing to awaken the Echo in as many of them as possible. He reveals that the Echo is a fragment of their original selves’ power and not actually a gift from Hydaelyn. Elidibus is strengthened by the faith of the newly-blessed adventurers and takes on the form of the very first Warrior of Light before battling the player. Emet-Selch somehow reaches out to the player and awakens a power in them, revealing that they have a connection to Azem, a former member of the Ascian convocation. The Warrior of Light and G’raha defeat Elidibus and seal his soul inside the Crystal Tower, but the effort of the task causes the Crystal Exarch to fully crystallize, and G’raha’s body dies.

Before this particular Final Fantasy 14 death, G’raha infuses his soul into an auracite crafted to send the Scions back home to the Source. Each Scion is sent home one of these specially-made devices, and the Warrior of Light brings G’raha’s to the Crystal Tower. There, they awaken G’raha and infuse him with the soul of his future self, and he lives on as a member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. With their adventure in the First ended, Alisaie develops a cure for Primal tempering.

Shadowbringers’ Final Patches Pave The Way For FFXIV: Endwalker

The rogue Ascian Fandaniel appears to Zenos and encourages his madness, revealing everything about the Ancients to him. Freed after Elidibus’ death, Fandaniel wishes to recreate Amaurot’s Final Days and destroy all the world and himself, contrary to the head Ascian’s wishes. He threatens to immediately raze the city-states to the ground if the Warrior of Light doesn’t battle Zenos again. As part of his plan, strange towers appear all over the world, and if a person approaches them they become tempered, setting up events for FFXIV’s Endwalker expansion.

Estinien joins the Scions and frees the great dragon Tiamat from Allagan imprisonment. She becomes an ally as well, guilty over her involvement in the creation of the elder Primal Bahamut. The Eorzean Alliance and beastmen tribes begin to unite, supported by Alisaie’s tempering cure, and the tempering towers summon Lunar Primals under Fandaniel’s control. Krile proposes the Scions request aid from Sharlayan, a land of scholars and home of the Leveilleurs, to learn more about the Telophoroi cult that Fandaniel represents.

Sharlayan has no interest in helping Eorzea, saying that their worries over the Final Days are unfounded. The Scions know they are very incorrect and decide to seek passage to Old Sharlayan to scold the scholars themselves, as they fully expect that they are hiding knowledge of the Final Days. In the last patches of Shadowbringers, the Scions discover that the tempering towers are draining aether from the earth, Zenos gets himself a Reaper scythe, and Fandaniel begins his final preparations to hurl the world into oblivion.

This is where Shadowbringer’s last patch leaves off before the upcoming expansion, Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Even without mentioning the many side quests and character specifics, the whole story is dense with intrigue. It’s been a long journey but the tale revolving around Hydaelyn and Zodiark is coming to an end. The exact depth of the darkness awaiting the Warrior of Light on the moon is still unclear, but not for long.
