Next Tuesday, November 12, it’s time, and the story of the latest expansion of Final Fantasy XIV continues. In addition to more story quests, brave adventurers can expect further new content.
Where will your path lead you? Firstly, Patch 7.1, titled “Crossroads”, ties into the conclusion of the main story of Dawntrail. Although peace in Tural has been restored, not all conflicts have been resolved. In around 7 new quests, you will embark on a quest for long-lost memories.
Within the story, you will encounter the new story dungeon “Research Station Yuweyawata”, which represents a time when Prince Zoraal Ja faced a Tural Vidraal. You can also take on quests from the Pelupelu and support them in the establishment of a travel agency.
Additionally, the extreme trial “Eternal Queen” and the dream trial Byakko
make their entrance and can be tackled with 8 players each. If you want to dive into battle with 24 players again, you can look forward to the new alliance raid Echoes of Vana’diel (Part 1) Jeuno: The first stage, inspired by Final Fantasy XI.
Improvements for housing lovers and more
What else does the patch bring? In addition to playable content, there are also some adjustments and innovations that may please some. Now you can customize your interior design at will, although all furniture will automatically be stored in the inventory.
Gold Saucer fans can also rejoice, if Doman Mahjong is among their interests. With Patch 7.1, you can also compete in matches with members of the Dawn’s Vanguard, and it’s even voiced.
Those who are newcomers to Final Fantasy XIV with this patch benefit from an overhaul of the beginner arena. New exercises on various attack markers and battle mechanics have been added, allowing seedlings to prepare for their upcoming adventures.
It’s going to get extremely chaotic in later patches
Is there more? Yes! Not directly on November 12, but more new content awaits you with the upcoming interim patches, some of which have a lot more up their sleeve:
With Patch 7.11, the new fatal raid “A Second Future (fatal)” will appear in which you face the light-infused world and Ryne again.
In the context of Patch 7.15, you will embark on an adventurous journey alongside the most famous criminologist Eorzea has ever seen. We are talking about Hildibrand, whose absurd questlines always deliver surprises. This patch will also introduce new wish deliveries at Nitowikwe and side quests on the market of Wachumeqimeqi.
The probably biggest innovation comes with the new chaotic alliance raid “The Cloud of Darkness (chaotic)”. In this content, 24 players confront a single enemy at a difficulty usually reserved for epic raids—only this time with three times as many players. This content will be released one week after the launch of Patch 7.15 at the midway point to the next major patch.
Later, with the interim patch 7.16, new role quests for defenders, healers, and attackers will be added. As with all patches and interim patches, new items, armor, weapons, mounts, and companions will also be introduced that can be collected through engaging with the content.
A seemingly inconspicuous companion recently drew attention due to recording a price increase of 1,600% on the market board. Previously, it could be obtained for one apple and one gil, and due to the price hike, even mods were created to bypass a purchase.
