In the fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, the next patch 3.1 will be released on November 10 and will bring numerous new features.
New Primal Fight
There is a lot of new information about patch 3.1. The new Primal Fight will be “Knights of the Round EX”. The “Knights of the Round” have appeared in several Final Fantasy games before, they are inspired by the Knights of the Round Table, but with a distinctly more Asian flair. After their appearance in Heavensward, they are now making a return.
The fight is expected to be harder than the one against the Ultima Weapon (Hard) and Ravana Ex at their time. The fight is said to have 10 phases. The loot will be very good, according to the latest producer letter.
The new relic weapons will come in 3.15, before the end of the year, and they will be called “Anima Weapons”.
The trailer outlines patch 3.1 with a multitude of new details and yes … you also get to see the new hairstyles in detail:
Exploration Missions in Three Tiers
The perhaps most interesting new feature of the patch is the Exploration Missions with the Airship. They will be available in “easy, normal, and hard” modes. These missions cannot really be completed, but players can decide how long they want to stay there.
The airship must be level 10 to start the easy mode. It does not need to be much higher for normal. To undertake the “hard” mode, islands must be discovered.
After patch 3.1, it seems that Square Enix wants to revisit the crafting system. With patch 3.2, high-level crafted gear will become significantly stronger.
