Yes, there are a lot of references to Final Fantasy 9 in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail's collector's edition… and no, that's not a coincidence.

Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail will release in full on 2nd July, 2024 – the early access will drop one week prior on 28th June – so both you and the Dawntrail development team has «one week» to get through Elden Ring's eagerly anticipated DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree.
Talking at PAX East this weekend, producer/director Naoki «Yoshi-P» Yoshida teased that the team had hoped to open in early access a week earlier but then… «Elden Ring DLC…»
Dawntrail will follow Endwalker, which was so popular on release the game was taken down from sale. The new expansion features a whole host of returning characters and a tropical, sea-faring setting seemingly inspired by South America.
