Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
Square Enix will implement patch 7.56 "The Road to the Horizon Part 2" for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail on September 8. The update concludes the main story leading into The Silver Wanderer, introduces the new limited job Beastmaster, and adds the Beastmaster-exclusive battle content Toujuuren.
Patch 7.56 lands on September 8 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Windows, Mac, and Steam. The main quest "The Road to the Horizon Part 2" tells the final story bridging Dawntrail and The Silver Wanderer, and screenshots show a pink-haired Miqo'te girl from the European fan festival trailer, suggesting the Warrior of Light may visit the Fourth World before the next expansion.
The patch also adds Beastmaster, a melee DPS limited job that fights with a one-handed axe and can capture and command field monsters. Its exclusive battle content, Toujuuren, supports party play and is described as deep enough to feel like a game within the game. New equipment and hairstyles are obtainable, and a character tied to the Beastmaster quest is teased.
