Final Fantasy XIV has just enjoyed an explosion of popularity (which is good) that has brought such an influx of players that it’s been tough to even log into the game (which is bad).
Final Fantasy XIV's next expansion is Endwalker, which will conclude the story that's been running through the massively multiplayer game since A Realm Reborn launched in 2013.
Patch 5.5, Death Unto Dawn, has a landing page which breaks down all the additions. There are new main story quests, obviously, in which Fandaniel and the Telophoroi are causing ominous towers to rise across the realm as part of their plan to recreate the Final Days.
But while the FFXIV: Endwalker expansion does mark an important milestone in the game's story, it's not the end of Square Enix's support for FFXIV.
