Want a guide to FF14 Dawntrail? FF14 7.0 is the fifth major expansion for Final Fantasy 14 since its relaunch as A Realm Reborn. The critically acclaimed MMORPG delivers one of the most richly designed worlds to explore, telling finely crafted, character-led stories that can bring you to joy or devastation. While it’s great with friends or other players online, FF14 can be played entirely solo as well, letting you enjoy it however you like.
FFXIV Dawntrail is the expansion for this hugely successful MMORPG. Unlike most of the other entries in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series, which are predominantly single-player RPG games, FF14 is an online multiplayer world frequented by millions of players and has been growing since its relaunch in 2013.

FF14 Dawntrail playable race
The new race in FF14 Dawntrail is the female Hrothgar. First introduced as a male-only option in the Shadowbringers expansion, the long-awaited female Hrothgar debuted in Dawntrail, following the corresponding arrival of male Viera in Endwalker.
Along with being a playable race, there are also some female Hrothgar story characters – the first of whom (shown above) is seen in the final trailer and is the daughter of Tural’s current ruler.
FF14 Dawntrail setting and locations
FF14 Dawntrail takes place in Tural, formerly known as the New World. It’s found to the west of the zones of Eorzea we already know, far across the ocean.
The main area is the new hub city of Tuliyollal in the Yok Tural region, where ruler Gulool Ja Ja sits atop the throne. It’s a thriving locale with an established sea route to Old Sharlayan.
There are also the mountainous peaks of Urqopacha. This region used to be the heart of a giant’s empire, which has now fallen to ruins, and the area now plays home to both the largest and smallest races in Tural. The latter of these is the Pelupelu, who are diminutive people that wear distinctive masks, are “natural entrepreneurs who travel on alpaca back,” and are well-known for their tea, coffee, and mezcal production.
Take a dirigible flight across the mountains, and you can reach the dense, thick forest of Yak T’el, where little sunlight makes it through the trees. This zone is split into two areas – a higher-level section and a low-level region down at the forest floor. It plays home to the Mamool Ja and Tural’s Hrothgar; the cat-like people introduced as playable characters in FFXIV Shadowbringers.
