Last weekend, Square Enix held an announcement showcase forFFXIV,revealingthe new expansion titledEndwalkerand how it’ll somehow bring the Warrior of Light to the moon. The announcement showcase also revealed the first details forEndwalker, including the Sage, the newest healer Job inFFXIV. Several Raid Dungeons, new Fields, new Races and characters, were revealed as well.
Once the showcase ended, producer Naoki Yoshida also held a joint interview, most notably with our Japanese peers at4Gamer, revealing additional details onEndwalker.
In particular, theFinal Fantasy XIV Endwalkertrailer features a shocking final scene where the Warrior of Light is standing on the moon. Needless to say, this triggered various discussions amongFFXIVplayers, wondering how’s that even possible, and if he’s using some kind of magic to breathe.
Turns out the moon inFFXIV Endwalkeractually has breathable air. YoshiP confirmed so in the interview.
We translated that part of the interview below:
4Gamer: “So, what kind of gameplay experience can we expect from the moon? Will it just be like any other Field?”
Naoki Yoshida:“Well, in the first place we didn’t explain what the “Moon” will be yet. Whether it’ll be the hidden side of the moon, or whether we’ll be going inside the moon, and such. We will be explaining everything in detail inFFXIV Endwalker, so you will have a good grasp of the moon then. We’re creating a Fantasy world, so we might as well show you what kind of moon we can create with it. So look forward to it. By the way, there is air on the moon. So rest assured, we won’t add something like an oxygen gauge (laughs).”
