The highly anticipated, and slightly delayed, expansion for Final Fantasy XIV is available now -- with Square Enix rolling out Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker globally. Though as with anything this popular there have been queue times for players trying to jump in. As a major expansion Endwalker kicks off a new major cinematic story alongside bringing a wealth of updates and goodness.

Here's the launch trailer.

Endwalker brings the tale of Hydaelyn and Zodiark to its exciting conclusion, inviting the Warrior of Light to explore new areas such as Old Sharlayan and Thavnair, forge new paths through the Garlean Empire, and ascend to the heavens to set foot upon the moon, all in order to bring an end to a story years in the making.

Endwalker also marks the beginning of a new chapter in FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, as this fully realised expansion will set the stage for new adventures and a brand-new storyline which builds on the foundation established over the last eight years.

• New Jobs: Sage and Reaper – The Sage is a new healer job–the first added since Heavensward — that utilises aether-imbued nouliths to protect teammates in battle, fight off enemies and execute ranged magic abilities. The Reaper, a melee DPS armed with a two-handed scythe, not only unleashes brutal attacks with theatrical visuals but has the ability to summon an avatar from the void to aid them in combat.
  
• New Playable Race: Male Viera – Players who own Shadowbringers™ will be able to create male Viera characters upon the launch of Endwalker.
  
• Level Cap Increase – The level cap for jobs and classes will be raised from 80 to 90. Players will learn new actions as well as fight against new enemies to master their skills.
  
• New Expansive Areas – Warriors of Light will explore new areas, including Thavnair, Garlemald, Mare Lamentorum and more as they experience the tales that lie ahead.
  
• New Beast Tribes – Players will encounter both the Arkasodara, Matanga who are indigenous to the isle of Thavnair, and the Loporrits – who appear to have much in common with the curious wanderer known as Namingway from Eorzean myth.
  
• New Content and System Upgrades – A new ally for the Trust system, new equipment, new crafting recipes and much more.

The expansion also paves the way for upcoming updates, including a new raids and for those playing locally, Oceanic servers which are slated to go live February 2022.
