Final Fantasy XIV

Take On Alexander In Final Fantasy's Heavensward

Soon you'll be able to face off with the enigmatic giant robot cathedral that is the Final Fantasy franchise's Alexander. Joe Juba penned a riveting piece exploring the history of this summon, but now we'll actually be squaring off against it (and, if the preview is any indicator, inside it) this week with a Heavensward content update.

This is the first significant content update since Heavensward's launch. The battle will be an 8-person ordeal for level 60 characters (and I would expect some kind of pretty hefty gear requirements), and is not a 24-person "raid raid"(we can expect that a bit further down the line, but not too far away).

I'm fairly excited to square off against this boss and I do hope he drops a Triple Triad card! Check out the video for a preview of the encounter.
