Square Enix has revealed that patch 2.55 for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is now available and titled “Before the Fall Part Two.” The update implements the finale of the A Realm Reborn story.
The conclusion to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn prepares you for the upcoming expansion, Heavensward, the title’s first major expansion releasing on June 23, 2015. New and lapsed players are urged to join their fellow adventurers in uncovering the mysteries of A Realm Reborn as completing the final main scenario quest “Before the Dawn,” introduced in Patch 2.55, will be required to gain access to Heavensward content.
For those who might not be familiar with the content of patch 2.55, here is a general overview:
“A great wyrm's roar echoes through the skies of Coerthas, calling all dragonkind to war. The Gates of Judgement, Ishgard's outermost defenses, now come under attack. With the city's very survival in the balance, can the Scions of the Seventh Dawn rally the Eorzean Alliance─or is the Holy See doomed to fall?”
