Today Square Enix announced the release date of the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV update 4.3, titled "Under the Moonlight."

The update will hit the live server s on May 22nd, and it will bring a ton of content, including the following:

  • New Main Scenario Quests – The Stormblood storyline continues in the far-eastern land of Doma.
  • New Sidequests
  • New 24-man Alliance Raid – The second chapter of the popular Return to Ivalice series takes players to the Ridorana Lighthouse.
  • New Trial and Dungeon
  • New Beast Tribe Quests: The Namazu – A new series focused on quests for the Disciples of the Hand and Land.
  • New Ultimate Difficulty Raid (Patch 4.31) – Players seeking the greatest challenges may test their skills against this new incarnation of Ultima Weapon.
  • New Deep Dungeon : Heaven-on-High (Patch 4.35) – Explore the 100-floor tower within the Ruby Sea.
  • The Next Installment of The Forbidden Land, Eureka – The Pagos Expedition (Patch 4.36)
  • Cross-world Linkshells – A new linkshell chat system will allow players to communicate across servers within their data center with ease.
  • Updates to jobs, PvP, glamour system, housing, performance actions, new powerful gear and more.

Looks like Yotsuyu will be heavily featured in the story for the joys of all who love to be stepped on. That was predictable considering how the chapter in update 4.2 ended.

We also got a trailer but beware: as most Final Fantasy XIV story trailers, it includes a ton of potential spoilers, so keep that in mind before you watch the video below.
