More information can be found on the official Dawntrail site: https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/product

The Dawntrail Collector’s Edition is a bundle containing a code for the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Digital Collector’s Edition for Windows® or Mac, and the physical Collector’s Box. PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Steam players can order the Collector’s Box as a standalone product and pre-order the Dawntrail Digital Collector’s Edition separately on their respective platforms.

The Dawntrail Collector’s Box includes only the physical goods listed below and does not include a copy of Dawntrail, in-game bonus items, or pre-order bonuses.

  • Dawntrail Special Art Box – A unique art box with a shimmering golden base, evocative of a fabled city of gold. It features a Dawntrail illustration by artist Yoshitaka Amano.
  • Expertly Crafted Viper Figure – An impressive high-quality figure that showcases the Warrior of Light as a viper. Including the base, the figure measures approximately H 9.65" x W 4.52" x D 5.90" (H 24.5cm x W 11.5cm x D 15cm).
  • Adventurer’s Cloth Map – The latest version of the FFXIV world map, which includes new locations debuting in Dawntrail. Printed on high-quality cloth, measuring approximately 16.53" x 29.52" (42cm x 75cm).

  • In-game Item: Garnet Minion – Freer than a canary and sharper than a dagger, this lovingly rendered mammet of FINAL FANTASY IX's Garnet will fly fearlessly to lands afar.
  • In-game Item: Chocobo Brush: Pictomancer Weapon – With its charming chocobo motif and signature twinkling star effect, this whimsical brush draws out the best in any pictomancer.

Players who pre-order FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail from participating retailers will be eligible to receive the following bonuses:

  • Early Access – Early access is tentatively scheduled to begin on Friday, 28th June, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (BST) and will allow users to play Dawntrail ahead of the official release.
  • In-game Item: Wind-up Zidane Minion – This miniature version of FINAL FANTASY IX's Zidane makes for an ideal adventuring companion ─ so long as you keep an eye on your valuables.
  • In-game Item: Azeyma's Earrings – Earrings crafted in the image of the radiant sun, symbol of the goddess Azeyma. These useful earrings feature attributes that will vary according to the user's class/job and current level when equipped. Additionally, the earring grants a 30% increase in EXP gained by defeating enemies when worn, perfect for levelling your jobs to 90.

Pre-order bonus codes will be delivered upon pre-ordering Dawntrail for Windows, Mac, and Steam and can be redeemed immediately. Digital pre-orders purchased from the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store will not require separate bonus codes. Thanks to the in-game items being delivered upon pre-order of Dawntrail, players will be able to use their Azeyma’s Earrings to catch up to level 90 before the expansion releases on Tuesday, 2nd July, 2024.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Patch 6.58 also recently released, featuring various adjustments to playable content, and the start of a new PvP season. Additional details on Patch 6.58 can be found here: https://sqex.to/L2Ai1
