"We’re back on the Source following our adventures in the First, but as might be expected, an even greater calamity was brewing in our absence. Endwalker will feature the climax of the long-running Hydaelyn and Zodiark story arc, which is not only exciting for our veteran players but also means it’s a great time for new players to jump in and enjoy the amazing story leading up to Endwalker’s release!"
