Square Enix has let loose the opening cinematic that will come attached to Final Fantasy XIV’s first expansion in Heavensward this morning, following its world premiere in Japan. Released online for everyone else to see, the video contains heavily spoilers following the end of A Realm Reborn as our hero – the Warrior of Light – travels to Ishgard and its Dragonsong War for an entirely new experience.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is set to launch on PC, Mac, PS3 and PS4 on June 23rd. An early access period for pre-orders begins a few days earlier on June 19th.
