Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is the first expansion pack of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, announced at the 2014 Fan Fest in Las Vegas. It was initially set to release in spring 2015, but was delayed to early summer for more polish. Mac version will be available the same day as Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 versions, making it the first Final Fantasy title on Apple's personal computer.

Ishgard will be the main location of the storyline. Naoki Yoshida had revealed that the first expansion of the game will let the players fly, and one of the themes will revolve around a "great conflict that spans across millennia."

Setting

Heavensward will expand the playable area of the game into additional parts of Eorzea, beyond the Coerthas Central Highlands and into the skies above the Sea of Clouds and the floating landmasses therein. Dravania and "other beast-tribe ruled" domains will be added.

Two key plot points have been revealed: the "Dragonsong War", the bloody thousand-year conflict between Ishgard and Dravania, and "The Wyrmking versus Thordan and his Knights Twelve", which has not yet been substantially elaborated on.
