Heavensward expands Final Fantasy XIV with an aerial zone, a new dragoon-flavoured job set and the Ishgard saga. Carefully written main quests, still classic MMO play and a solid raid suite. A reference among MMORPGs.

★★★★★
"Captivating"
From the pen of Masayoshi Soken, the music unfurls a repertoire of wild generosity, from the sumptuous theme "Answers" to epic raid battles. Each region and each confrontation gain a memorable orchestral colour. This sonic richness, ambitious and moving, is celebrated as one of the finest of the MMO.

"Obsessive"
Following an epic storyline while leveling your jobs, clearing dungeons in a group and refining your character sets up a loop of social progression that always holds a next goal. Each milestone unlocks activities and rewards. Its initial pace is slow and farming lurks, but the richness of the content and the joy of teamwork grip you across hundreds of hours.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"
Passing through the gates of Ishgard reopens Eorzea from above: new classes, aerial flight and frozen lands extend an already living world. To the fleshed-out main quests are added fresh raids, dungeons and endgame activities that demand long-haul dedication. This expansion cements the reputation of an MMORPG built to accompany the player season after season.
