New FFXIV Tales Under the New Moon Story Installments Debut 

Square Enix announced four new FFXIV Tales Under the New Moon short story installments, with the first one already available to read. The first new entry is “Whispers from the Dark” and stars Gaius van Baelsar and Lahabrea, and it features spoilers for the game. The full tale is now available on the official site alongside the four released in 2023.

As you can expect from the encounter, Lahabrea one again is the antagonist and came to meet and antagonize Gaius. He comes to offer him an opportunity. It’s essentially offering insight into a part of the story in FFXIV that we know about from the MMORPG, but didn’t see from these two characters’ perspectives.

The Tales Under the New Moon stories first started appearing in 2023 in honor of the 10th anniversary of FFXIV. Each brief story focuses on major characters we’ve met in the MMORPG. While the first one featured Estinien, for example, subsequent ones starred folks like the twins Alphinaud and Alisaie or Thancred. 

Here’s the new schedule for the next three Tales Under the New Moon installments: 

• Story #6: December 6, 2024
• Story #7: December 13, 2024
• Story #8: December 20, 2024

Final Fantasy XIV and its Dawntrail expansion are available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. FFXIV Mobile is also in development for mobile devices.
