Even the most dauntless of sailors would sooner abandon ship than steer into Shades' Triangle. Be not fooled by the lush and fertile island you spy on the horizon─men and vessels alike have been lost to its allure, never to be seen again. Yes, the wisest choice is to dismiss it as mere illusion. But of course, there are inevitably those who cannot resist the call of adventure.

Occult Crescent is a Field Operations series that will be released later into the Dawntrail expansion starting in the patch 7.2 series. It takes place on an island within the Shades' Triangle near Tural.

A concept art revealed at the 2024 Korean Fan Festival depicted sprite art of various Final Fantasy V jobs.

According to a January 2025 interview with Naoki Yoshida and pre-patch 7.2 Live Letters, players will be able to equip and level up secondary jobs known as Phantom Jobs, giving access to additional actions and traits within the field operation. These jobs appear to be directly based on FFV jobs, including some that are existing FFXIV jobs (e.g. monk, bard) and others that were not suitable for implementation as a full job in FFXIV (e.g. chemist). However, this does not necessarily rule out the possibility that some jobs may receive a full implementation in the future.

Players must have a level 100 Disciple of War or Magic to enter the field operation instance. They will be able to progress by increasing their Knowledge Level to enhance the outcome of battles.

Battle encounters in this field operation appear to be inspired by those found in Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr, including successive encounters in the open field with a small group of allies, and critical engagement-like boss encounters taking place within enclosed arenas. There will also be a raid that allows up to 48 players to participate.

Similar to previous field operations, the Relic Weapon series for Dawntrail will be tied to Occult Crescent activities, although players will also be able to progress their weapons via existing activities outside of the field operation.
