Final Fantasy 14's next expansion is called Stormblood and it's not coming to PS3

A new expansion for Final Fantasy 14 has been announced for release in early summer 2017, and if you play the MMO on PlayStation 3 you will need to upgrade to PS4 or switch to PC in order to play it.

According to the PlayStation Blog, during the keynote presented by the game's producer and director Naoki Yoshida, the teaser trailer above was shown before he jumped into the details.

In the video, you see the Warrior of Light conducting a training session with a lady wearing a rather spiffy red outfit. The ares the two are sparring in is one of the new hubs players will visit “as they venture to Ala Mhigo.”

Ala Mhigo is the the main location for Stormblood as players will be doing their best to liberate it from XIIth Legion Legatus Zenos yae Galvus.

Some artwork is posted below along with some rather sad looking screencaps I took from the video.

It was also announced that the level cap will be increased to 70, and the expansion will come with multiple new jobs, dungeons, high-level raids and new gear. The best news for those of us who like to horde items in MMOS, is that more inventory space will be made available.

As noted at the start of the post, support for Final Fantasy 14 will end on PlayStation 3, but an upgrade option is in the works and will be announced at another time. More news is also promised out of the Fan Festivals taking place in Tokyo and Europe.
