Trail to the Heavens is the fifth and final major content patch of the Dawntrail expansion (7.x series).

FFXIV Subscription Model — No Battle Pass
Final Fantasy XIV does not have a seasonal battle pass. The game is subscription-based: the Entry plan (~$12.99/month) and Standard plan (~$14.99/month) both include access to all content through the current patch. No season rewards or gameplay features are locked behind an additional paid pass.
The PvP Series system functions as a free in-patch reward track — players earn cosmetics and mounts by completing PvP battles each major patch cycle. Optional cosmetics and convenience items are available on the Mog Station store but have no effect on in-game progression.
