Patch 2.55 has arrived for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! The new main scenario, "Before the Dawn", will be required to gain access to Heavensward content.

A great wyrm's roar echoes through the skies of Coerthas, calling all dragonkind to war. The Gates of Judgement, Ishgard's outermost defenses, now come under attack. With the city's very survival in the balance, can the Scions of the Seventh Dawn rally the Eorzean Alliance─or is the Holy See doomed to fall?

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will launch Patch 2.55: Before the Fall Part 2 one week from today. According to Yoshida, the new update will include:

• The Final Coil of Bahamut will be added to the Duty Finder
• The World of Darkness weekly gear limit will be removed
• The amount of MGP you receive in the Gold Saucer will be adjusted
• Adjustments will also be made to the Triple Triad tournaments
• Considering making balance adjustments to Triple Triad NPCs since we've received lots of feedback that certain NPCs can be a bit too strong
