Embody returns with the 2.2 update for the Final Fantasy 14 (FFXIV) Immerse Gamepack, just in time for the upcoming release of Dawntrail.

During the recently concluded Live Letter 81, it was announced that the FFXIV Immerse Gamepack 2.2 was now available, giving players a chance to experience an immersive audio experience in the land of Eorzea. Not only that, but players could even try its 30-day trial free trial, something they first introduced in 2.0.

If you have already tried the FFXIV Immerse Gamepack free trial before, don’t worry. Every player, both new and old, will be able to enjoy the 30-day Free Trial, even if they’ve already gone through the free trial before. Once players have finished their free trial, they can then buy the Gamepack for only $19.99.

Once players have downloaded the Gamepack, either through the free trial or the full version, they can then proceed to create their own Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) profile. Then, players will just need to activate the setting inside of FFXIV and enjoy the immersive audio.

The website promises the following features:

  • Play FINAL FANTASY XIV in 3D Spatial Audio, not just surround sound
  • Designed in collaboration with the FINAL FANTASY XIV sound team
  • (IMPROVED) Advanced AI Algorithms for Personalization
  • (IMPROVED)  HRTF Video Capture Process
  • Enhanced clarity and separation of in-game SFX
  • Accurately hear sounds above and behind your character
  • Compatible with all headsets
  • Supports sample rates up to 384kHz
  • Works with all FINAL FANTASY XIV content (Windows PC)

Additionally, version 2.2 of the FFXIV Immerse Gamepack brings the following updates:

  • Further Improvements to HRTFs
    • Improvements to the Phase Response and Interaural Time Delay (ITD) of Immerse personalized HRTFs enhance clarity and fidelity, especially for higher frequencies. The maximum number of allowed profiles has been increased, and players are encouraged to create a new HRTF profile to take full advantage of the latest improvements.
  • Improvements to the HRTF AI Algorithm
    • Immerse can now interpret more information about your ears and facial dimensions to better predict your optimal personalized HRTF. This improvement tightens up the timing of audio signals, resulting in clearer sound quality and a reduction in muffled sound.

If players have been looking to try the FFXIV Immerse Gamepack, this is the perfect time to do so, especially with Dawntrail’s release date fast approaching.

What Exactly Does The Immerse Gamepack Do?

The FFXIV Immere Gamepack does exactly what it says on the tin: immerse players in the sounds of the game. By taking the player’s HRTF profile, the program’s AI will be able to deduce how the player would hear sounds if they were standing in their character’s shoes.

Players would be able to hear the game’s various sound effects and background noises more clearly as if they were in Eorzea itself. Players might even be able to hear sounds that they weren’t able to hear in the first place.

If players are looking for more ways to immerse themselves in FFXIV, then the Immerse Gamepack might just be what they need.

That’s all the information we have for the FFXIV Immerse Gamepack version 2.2, arriving just in time for Dawntrail’s launch. Again, players will be able to enjoy the Gamepack’s 30-day free trial regardless of whether they’ve already tried it before.
