During a livestream on Nico Nico, Square Enix just revealed that part 1 of the massive Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn patch 2.5, dubbed "Before the Fall" has now a release date.

The patch will hit the server on January 20th, 2015.

If you want a refresher on what it'll include, below you can see the slide with the contents from the latest Fanfest. Together with its second part (which will include the Gold Saucer casino), it's expected to be the last large content update before the epansion Heavensward.
