Square Enix has released a new batch of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn screenshots, showing off its upcoming 2.2 version update. The new content, entitled Through the Maelstrom, is set to arrive later in March and will update the main story and characters.
According to Square Enix, Through the Maelstrom will include "the continuing story of Hildibrand, the introduction of Gilgamesh and the mysterious Yugiri, and the primal Leviathan whom players will face in the latest primal battle".
The publisher also gave the following synopsis of Through the Maelstrom's plot:
Long dormant forces stir, their awakening a presage of night eternal.
Political unrest pervades the three city-states as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn leave behind their home in the Waking Sands. For the betterment of Eorzea, they have re- established themselves beyond the reach of those who would sway the Scions for personal gain.
Yet despite the Scions' best efforts, balance will not be restored to the realm so easily. Ever do the mysteries of the Echo and the Ascians elude them, while the beast tribes rally with renewed ambition, threatening to unleash the wrath of another primal upon the land.
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...
As well as a primal battle with a creature called Leviathan, the update also includes new side story quests called Case of the Thieving Duelist and Gilgamesh Battle.You can read more information : http://www.ffxivingil.com/news/119.html
