Inside Final Fantasy XIV: Through the Maelstrom
What it is
Patch 2.2 contains myriad additions and refinements to the realm of Eorzea. Players seeking the thrill of combat can face off with Leviathan or brave the new twists and turns of the Binding Coil.

From new dealings with the beast tribes to new dances sweeping the land, there is much to see and more to do in the ever-changing realm of Eorzea!

To stave off the encroaching darkness and pull the realm back from the brink of destruction, the Warriors of Light plunge headlong into the maelstrom...
