Yoshida also revealed the Dawntrail Collector’s Edition, which will be available for pre-order in limited quantities exclusively on the Square Enix Store starting Tuesday, March 26th, 2024, at 8:00 pm AEDT. 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).
  • The Unending Journey – A ruled notebook inspired by a favourite journal of adventurers, measuring approximately 5.90″ x 4.33″ (15cm x 11cm).
  • Adventurer’s Pen Case – A roll-up pen case to hold writing instruments and other small items essential to your adventures. Unfolded, the pen case measures approximately 8.26″ x 9.44″ (21cm x 24cm).

Additionally, the Dawntrail Digital Collector’s Edition will also be available on 26th March, 2024 for pre-order from participating retailers, and will include the following in-game bonus items:

  • In-game Item: Ark Mount – Cleave a trail through the heavens with your own personal Ark, modeled after the dynamic eidolon from FINAL FANTASY IX.
  • 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 7:00 p.m AEST 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 leveling 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.
