Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail collector's edition only includes PC or Mac version

Final Fantasy XIV's new expansion Dawntrail is on the horizon, and Square Enix is prepping a huge $215 collector's edition...but there's some details you need to know before you buy.

At PAX 2024, Yoshi-P revealed tons of new details about the upcoming FFXIV Dawntrail expansion. Dawntrail is a big deal for Square Enix and previous expansions have also had CEs in the past, but this one comes with some restrictions.

Dawntrail's big box collector's edition comes packed with a bunch of extras including a handsome figurine of the new Viper class, a cloth map that would look incredible on your wall, a neat little pen case and journal set, and a gleaming box with breathtaking artwork from Yoshitaka Amano. There's just one potential problem: The CE doesn't come with a console version of the game--only PC or Mac.

Luckily, Square Enix is selling a Collector's Box that includes everything in Dawntrail Collector's Edition sans a copy of the game. The Box will retail for $155. If you play on console and want the CE, Square Enix advises that you instead buy the Collector's Box at $155 and then buy a separate copy of the Dawntrail expansion from the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store.

Dawntrail Collector's Edition and Collector's Box will be available on July 2, 2024, but pre-orders open Tuesday, March 26.

If you pre-order, you'll get a bonus Zidane minion and a +30% XP accessory.
