What time does Early Access start for Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker?

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker's release is the biggest event for the popular MMO this year, and players with Early Access can begin their adventure through the game's new content on Dec. 3, 2021. While most know what day Early Access begins, knowing what time Early Access begins is another story.

Endwalker will be playable for Early Access users on Dec. 3, 2021, at 1:00am PT/4:00am ET. This immediately follows the All Worlds Maintenance necessary to implement this large update for Final Fantasy XIV. The full maintenance schedule can be found below:

Those without Early Access to Final Fantasy: XIV Endwalker can play starting on Dec. 7, 2021, provided they've purchased the expansion.
