Beginning on June 28, Warriors of Mild (a minimum of those that pre-ordered the sport for Early Entry) will be capable of discover the brand new world of Tural in Ultimate Fantasy 14’s newest enlargement. Dawntrail is about to be a “summer season trip” journey for gamers, a kind of reward after finishing a decades-long story with Endwalker. In anticipation of what Tural has to supply, Sq. Enix has given the tropical locale its personal tourism web site, and Our Flag Means Loss of life actor Rhys Darby is its star.
The positioning, TourTural.com, is a useful information to every part gamers can count on to uncover in Dawntrail. Darby performs the function of the Interim Deputy Director of…. Turalism (I like this dumb joke, sue me). A message from the board advises that guests to the positioning can “Examine right here every day for such thrilling bulletins as offers for dirigible excursions, new and scrumptious meals distributors opening within the Bazaar, and the extremely uncommon however very critical monster assaults!” Hidden away within the “What We Do” part is a disclaimer that “All guests should acknowledge that loss of life can technically be thought of a once-in-a-lifetime expertise.”
Past being a hilarious recreation of tourism websites, Tour Tural is fairly fascinating to dig by way of. Cute postcards showcase among the lovely places, starting from tranquil seashores to beautiful waterfalls. One other part offers you a rundown of all of the completely different factions of this land, just like the Mamool Ja beast race and the alpaca-loving Pelupelu—we even get a pleasant take a look at the brand new alpaca mount, as properly.
The Division of Turalism additionally gives followers recipes they will make in actual life whereas they anticipate Dawntrail. This isn’t the primary time FF14 has carried out this (Sq. Enix sells a fairly neat bodily cookbook), however these recipes embrace Dawntrail’s Latin American inspirations, providing directions on easy methods to make two forms of tacos and a fruity cocktail. There’s a merch web page as properly, which incorporates an “All About Alpacas” pin I want I might really purchase.
The playfulness of the positioning and the quick promotional movies of Rhys Darby being his hilarious self, shared on the official FF14 X (Twitter) account, actually leans into the notion that Dawntrail is an opportunity for gamers to take a break. This recreation, and Ultimate Fantasy as a collection, is usually extremely self-serious— it’s at all times about saving a world from a cosmic evil, which is fairly intense. Dawntrail appears decided to disregard all of that and provides us an opportunity to vibe out with a drink and a fluffy alpaca on the seaside. I deserve that. I imply my Warrior of Mild deserves that. I can’t wait.
