The Heveansward expansion will be available on June 23

The official YouTube channel for the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn massive multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) began streaming the opening movie for Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, the first expansion to Final Fantasy XIV, on Saturday.

Square Enix also revealed "Flames of Truth," an extended version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Ream Reborn's opening movie.

Heavensward will move into the Ishgard area and the country's Dragonsong War with Dravania will be a key plot point. The Wyrmking's fight against Thordan and his Knights Twelve will also be a major focus in the expansion. Square Enix will add The Holy See of Ishgard and multiple "new areas," new "challenging" dungeons, new "high-end" raids, new gear, recipes, airships, primals jobs, and a new race.

Specific new additions include the Dark Knight job class and flying mounts such as black Chocobos. Six flying mount varieties are in the works with a seventh planned depending on fan feedback. Airships are also planned with single-rider versions and multi-rider versions.

The new beast tribes are called the "Vanu Vanu" and "Gnath." The Vanu Vanu's primal is the "Bismarck" and the Gnath's is a laser sword wielding bug called "Ravana."

Inaccessible areas like Dravania will be opened and the player's level cap will be increased to 60.

The expansion will be available for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC on June 23. The collector's edition digital download version will retail for US$59.99 and the collector's edition package version will retail for US$129.99. The collector's edition will include a "Dragonsong War" box, a dragon mount figure, an art book, a Blu-ray Disc with compilations of all the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn trailers, and five in-game items.

The standard edition will retail for US$39.99 for both the package and digital download versions. A bundle that includes the standard editions of Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn and Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward will retail for US$59.99 for both the package and digital download versions.

Pre-order bonuses include a baron circlet, baron earrings, and a chocobo chick courier.
