Ishgard Restoration (Phase 3): Continued the Firmament content with new crafts and rewards. Unreal Trials: Introduced scaled-up versions of old trials (starting with Shiva Unreal). Quality of Life Improvements Streamlined ARR MSQ: Over 13% of quests were cut or trimmed to ease new players progression. Flying in ARR Zones: Unlocked after completing A Realm Reborns MSQ. Adjustments to Job Actions: Tweaks to multiple jobs, including Ninja, Dragoon, and Black Mage. Other Highlights New Beast Tribe (Dwarves): Focused on crafting/gathering with a whimsical Lali-ho theme. Crystalline Conflict (PvP) Preview: Early groundwork for the later-introduced PvP mode.

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
