Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV or FF14) Patch 7.3, titled "The Promise of Tomorrow," is the third major content update for the Dawntrail expansion (7.0). It concludes the Dawntrail main storyline, introduces new endgame activities, balances jobs (with notable nerfs to Dawntrail's new classes), and adds quality-of-life improvements. This patch requires the Dawntrail expansion for most new content and is designed to bridge toward future updates. It emphasizes themes of aiding Alexandria and features crossovers like the Echoes of Vana'diel alliance raid series (inspired by FFXI).
