Early access is finally here! Those who have registered pre-order codes may begin playing Heavensward content beginning on Friday, June 19, 2015 at 2:00 a.m. (PDT). Only players with early access can play newly added content prior to the official release on Tuesday, June 23, 2015. However, all players will have access to updates affecting A Realm Reborn.

The gates of Ishgard have swung open, ushering in adventurers to aid in the fight against the Dravanian Horde. Whether you embark on new adventures with your tried and true professions, or hone your skills as a dark knight, machinist, or an astrologian, there's danger and excitement at every turn in the wilds beyond Ishgard. Take to the skies on your flying mount, brave new trials and dungeons, and explore all Heavensward has to offer. A Realm Reborn will also receive a host of updates including DirectX 11 support, Mac OS support, additional loot rules and Duty Finder settings, and more!

And with just a few days until the official release of Heavensward, the patch notes for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward have been released in their entirety.
