What's Included in Each Edition of FFXIV's Dawntrail

After a year of news, speculation, and reveals, Final Fantasy XIV's next expansion, Dawntrail, finally has a release date. While ending all speculation of when the anticipated expansion launches, FFXIV director and producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida showcased the different editions of Dawntrail, including the physical Collector's Edition.

During the "Journey to Dawntrail: The 10 Year Adventure of Final Fantasy XIV" panel at PAX East 2024, Yoshi-P detailed the various digital and physical rewards players will receive for both pre-ordering Dawntrail and purchasing either the digital or physical Collector's Editions.

The different editions of FFXIV: Dawntrail

There are three versions of Dawntrail for players to purchase: the Standard Edition, the Digital Collector's Edition, and two variations of the Physical Collector's Edition. The true "Collector's Edition," available only for Windows and Mac versions of FFXIV, includes every reward. The secondary "Collector's Box," available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Steam players, includes only the physical items to purchase, which can be combined with either the Standard or Digital Collector's Editions.

Here are the different editions of Final Fantasy XIV's Dawntrail expansion and the items they include:

FFXIV Dawntrail Pre-order bonuses

Pre-ordering your copy Dawntrail before July 2 nets you a few additional bonuses on top of the items you receive with your selected edition:

• Wind-up Zidane Minion
• Azeyma's Earrings, which give a 30% experience boost up until level 90.
• Early access to Dawntrail, starting June 28

At the time of writing, it's unclear if the pre-order bonuses are included with the Collector's Box, which only houses the physical items. Since PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Steam players are intended to purchase the Collector's Box alongside a copy of the Standard Edition or Digital Collector's Edition if they want the physical rewards, the pre-order bonuses are likely only included when purchasing the expansion itself. The Collector's Box for the previous expansion, Endwalker, did not include the game or pre-order bonuses, so it's safe to assume Dawntrail will continue the pattern. 

The various Collector's Editions have yet to have a price tag announced. Historically, the full Collector's Edition that includes the game went for $200 USD, while the Collector's Box went for $140 on its own. The standard cost for a base expansion is typically $39.99, and its Digital Collector's upgrade is $59.99. You may be able to assume how much the next expansions will cost based on historical prices, but it's only assumption until Square Enix drops the details. This article will be updated with the official pricing once it's announced.
