Greetings, adventurers!
Zhexos reporting in after a nice weekend testing out the Stormblood benchmark a few dozen times at home. Were you able to spot all the cool teasers the benchmark contained? I’ve been enjoying the discoveries everyone has been making!
Now that May is upon us, we have little over a month left for the release of Stormblood! While we eagerly wait for the launch, let’s go over the pre-order bonuses to fuel the Stormblood hype meter!
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Pre-order Bonuses
Wind-up Red Mage Minion
First up, we have the wind-up red mage minion, designed after the FFI red mage joining the minion collection!
This red mage minion has an amazing pose in-game, but I’ll keep that a secret for now! Here’s a screenshot of the minion in-game.
Ala Mhigan Earrings
Next up, show your support of the rebellion with this pair of earrings emblazoned with the image of the Ala Mhigan standard.
Here’s a look at the pair of earrings on our model.
Do you have any jobs you’ve been waiting to level? These will help with that, because they can be worn from level one. They look great for glamour, but they feature the following attributes to help with leveling!
———–
VIT+5
STR+5
DEX+5
MND+5
INT+5
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 50 and below.
———–
And of course, the pre-order comes with the early access bonus, which grants users the ability to play Stormblood from Friday, June 16, a few days before the official release date!
Furthermore, during the recent Letter from the Producer LIVE, we gave a sneak peek of the exclusive PS4 dynamic theme which comes as an additional bonus for pre-ordering FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood from the PlayStation®Store.
PlayStation®Store Theme
This is a dynamic theme that features key characters from Stormblood moving around on various backgrounds!
* Dynamic themes are themes which can be set as a background for the Home screen of the PS4.
* Please note, this theme is exclusive to users who pre-order from the PlayStation®Store.
Check out the Allagan tomestone icon and the mini Gosetsu!
