Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers Gets Release Date; Adds Bunnies & Guns With Swords

Over the past weekend, Square Enix announced the release date for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival.

The expansion will be out the 2 July, 2019. Another notable addition to the MMO is the Viera race, and the Gunbreaker job, a class that uses Gunblades as their main weapon.

The Gunbreaker role is a new tank role that uses the Gunblade, a weapon Final Fantasy veterans would recognize as the main weapon of Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. The weapon works like a normal sword, save for its gun mechanism which deals more damage using magicked ammunition when the wielder pulls the trigger during a slash.

Gunbreakers can use abilities by spending magicked ammunition. The class has a starting level of 60 and the job quest starts at Gridania.

New areas were also introduced with the addition of Shadowbringers, namely the “Il Mheg” and “The Rak’tika Greatwood”.

Here’s a look at the Il Mheg…

Another pleasant announcement is the reveal of the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers Collector’s Edition as well as the Early Access dates.

The Collector’s Edition, planned for both PS4 and PC, will include a special art box with art by Yoshitaka Amano, a 9-inch (23 cm) Dark Knight figure, an art book, a Shadowbringer logo sticker cling, and a deck of playing cards featuring artwork from A Realm Reborn through Shadowbringers

Proud owners of the Collector’s Edition would also receive in-game bonuses such as a Grani mount, a wind-up Fran minion, as well as a Revolver Gunbreaker weapon, Squall’s iconic gunblade makes a return exclusively for Gunbreakers.

The last bit of surprise came in the form of “YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse”, which would be the next alliance raid series. This is clearly Square Enix’s way of doing a FFXIV crossover with NieR: Automata.

Final Fantasy XIV is immediately available for PS4 and PC while Shadowbringers enters Early Access on 28 June 2019 and would be fully released on 2 July 2019.
