Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward launch trailer releases the dragons

Final Fantasy XIV's Heavensward expansion is out on June 23rd, but thanks to time travel or something we can watch its launch trailer now. It's a good'un, featuring all the portentous dialogue, grim villain types, giant dragons, and fiery magicsplosions you could ever want.

Heavensward adds a new playable race, the Au Ra, along with an increased level cap (it's been upped to 60), and three new jobs: the Astrologian, the Machinist and the Dark Knight.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
