With the upcoming arrival of Final Fantasy XIV’s next expansion, Dawntrail, fans are eager to dive into the new content and explore every detail. Raid groups are looking forward to their next challenges, but the developers’ current plan to limit congestion may cause problems.

In the lead-up to Dawntrail’s early access launch on June 28, the Final Fantasy XIV team shared its plan to help keep login queues to a minimum. There will be a restriction on Data Center travel until Patch 7.01, or 7.05 at the latest, depending on how overall queues and servers struggle with players attempting to play the game. For those who regularly travel to Data Centers to play with friends, this could prevent many from enjoying the next expansion together, and raiders believe this could cause issues when attempting the new Savage encounters.

News of these changes came via an official news drop from the Final Fantasy XIV developers, and after reviewing it thoroughly, there are several red flags. The developers are encouraging players to try migrating to other, smaller data centers outside of their Home Data Center in order to play the main content. While it may be a substandard experience and may cause connection issues, it is a viable solution for processing the main content.

For those looking to sync up with friends to play the Dawntrail content, however, these restrictions make it difficult for everyone to form a party. Some raiding groups may be able to make it to one of the recommended data centers, such as Dynamis. However, the larger data centers, namely Aether, Primal, Crystal, Chaos, and Light, will not be available for travel.
