Final Fantasy XIV Patch 3.4's Alexander: The Creator And Sophia Battle Previewed

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender is a mere six days away, which means that it's time for another round of content previews. One major content addition included in the update is "the final installment of Alexander," entitled "Alexander: The Creator." Alexander: The Creator is an 8-player, level 60 dungeon that will be available in both normal and Savage forms.

The story of Alexander: The Creator is as follows.

Roundrox remains in dire straits, and soon the Illuminati will have all they need to rewrite history in their twisted image. As the black ink of fate is pressed to parchment, it is up to the Warrior of Light to wrestle the pen from the clutches of evil. Thus does our brave hero journey once more unto the breach, to discover what secrets lie at the heart of Alexander, and prove the would-be goblin prophet false.

Another major addition, the Sophia Battle, was also previewed, albeit yesterday. The Sophia Battle is an eight-player, level 60 battle against Sophia, "one of the three towering pillars of the Warring Triad."

The story of the Sophia Battle is as follows.

History tells of a Meracydian nation comprised of a multitude of races, the foundations of which were built on the worship of a single deity. The "Goddess," as she was simply known, graced the souls of her worshipers with perfect equilibrium, binding their disparate societies in gilded chains of harmony.
In the present day, she is better known as Sophia, one of the incalculably powerful eikons of the Warring Triad. And after five thousand years of imprisonment, her failed plans for vengeance once more threaten to come to fruition. Defeat the wakened thralls and slay the stirring Goddess, lest her divine "balance" bring all the world to equal ruin!

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender will be going live on September 27th.
