As I sat in a conditioned room within Potsdam's Biosphäre rainforest, checking out a snippet of Final Fantasy 14's upcoming expansion Dawntrail, I experienced a weird dichotomy between intense familiarity and a palpable excitement for a brand-new start. It may be the game's fifth expansion, but it's sort of a second volume. A part two if you will, or I suppose part three if you count pre-A Realm Reborn.
It didn't really hit me how much better things looked until I landed home and jumped straight on the game with all its original lighting, textures and shaders. It's the small subtle tweaks across the board that have really elevated the game's visual appearance, and I'm looking forward to seeing how those changes ripple out across older pre-Dawntrail areas, too.
It took a little time to get to grips with juggling different gauges and remembering to actually paint my damn images , but I was having a fantastic time with it. Seeing bursts of colour with each ability, waving a giant paintbrush around, and flinging splotches of paint makes Pictomancer a bombastic class visually. It's not too overwhelming button-wise either, as part of the rotation has been crammed onto a single action slot.
Note: This preview is based on my time with an in-development build of Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail. Content in the final version is subject to change.
