A Realm Reborn's Heavensward Expansion to Arrive June 23rd

After such a long wait, we have finally received details on Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion, Heavensward, at 12 PM EST at the developer's panel at PAX East. There have been a few pieces of worthy information discovered via livestream, of which will be listed below:

Overview of the Heavensward story
Recap of flying mounts, Alexander, the new race Au'ra, Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist jobs, and level 60 cap
Alexander loot system is refreshed, entirely different from what we are used to (no details, however)
For those that desire this, female Au'ra can be customized to appear similar to the succubus
Explanation as to how developers decide upon a new job, which takes a full year to develop
Samurai was an option, but the developers chose Dark Knight over Samurai, with Samurai to appear someday in the future
A brand-spanking new video on appearances of the beautiful level 60 gear
Presented box art packing
Mac version is confirmed for Heavensward release date
Introduction of a nine minute benchmark arrives next month

And last, but far from least, the announcements for the release dates.

Pretend you can hear a drum roll.

The Heavensward expansion of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be released on June 23rd, with early access confirmed for June 19th. Preorders will be available on March 16, 2015.

So in 9 days.

Exciting, no? Even though I have to wonder how the developers will keep us busy between now and June 19th/23rd. I suppose there's always more Triple Triad games that can be conquered.
