While for most players it’s of no concern given FFXIV’s story-driven nature, those who play for other reasons and aren’t interested in completing over 25 hours of main story missions at level 50 may be turned away before they ever get to Heavensward's content. This is a design decision that Producer Naoki Yoshida states is meant to ensure that all players digest the story and are up-to-speed before playing the expansion. As a matter of fact, before you can enjoy anything that Heavensward has to offer, first you must complete the level 1 to 50 story through 2.55. Several of the new zones, especially The Sea of Clouds and Azys Lla, are the best that the game has to offer, far surpassing the best of A Realm Reborn.Īs you venture from 50 to the new level cap of 60, you engage in a story that moves directly forward from where A Realm Reborn left off. The zones have been designed to invite exploration with more traditional open-world structure, although there are still loading screens that separate zones. As you step out into the world, you’ll notice that FFXIV’s new areas are no longer laden with tunnel-like paths that invoke claustrophobia.
The first zone you enter is Ishgard, the expansion’s capital city, an area with beautiful architecture blanketed in snowfall. Heavensward makes a great first impression with its zone design. The city of Ishgard is a beautiful place.
