Final Fantasy XIV - Heavensward Patch Notes And Early Access

As of 9am GMT this morning players who have pre-ordered the Heavensward expansion for  Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and have applied the pre-order codes they received in their email can access all the 3.0 patch content that comes with the official release of the expansion on the 23rd of this month.

The big difference with this patch is people who do not have Heavensward will not be able to access the new shineys, which sadly means no Au Ra lizard people for them.

Early Access runs from now until the 27th of this month, so go get patched up and help the war out, heroes!
