Elden Ring Inspired Final Fantasy 14's Next Expansion, But Not How You Expect

Dawntrail is taking some surprising cues from FromSoftware’s open-world action-RPG

Square Enix’s hit MMO RPG , Final Fantasy XIV, is known for taking inspiration from the franchise’s long history. Past expansions have pulled heavily on specific games, such as 2019 expansion Shadowbringers offering a reinterpretation of Final Fantasy III. But with Dawntrail, the next expansion releasing this summer, developers at Creative Business Unit 3 looked outside Square Enix for some unexpected inspiration. They found it in FromSoftware’s open-world action- RPG Elden Ring.

The developer previously advocated for tougher challenges earlier this year but made a point to say it would be a more long-term project over the next decade. For now, FF14 players will continue on with the current balance, which many believe can be overly simplistic. But if Dawntrail isn’t implementing Elden Ring-like difficulty, what is the MMO taking from the FromSoft title? Yoshi-P says that players will likely notice the inspirations in the game’s world design.
