Version 6.0 is finally here for Final Fantasy XIV, bringing the Endwalker expansion to the game along with countless changes. Along with the conclusion to the Hydaelyn/Zodiark storyline that has been ongoing since the game’s original launch, this expansion adds two brand-new jobs to the game.

There’s a lot to see and do in Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker, so here’s everything new with the version 6.0 update.
