In a Stay Letter developer presentation, sport director Naoki Yoshida revealed particulars in regards to the patch, together with new mounts, new hairstyles, new PvP battles and, in fact, a brand new story.

Newfound Journey picks up the place Endwalker left off. Your pals, the Scions of the Seventh Daybreak, have scattered throughout Eorzea doing their very own factor now that they’ve prevented the top of all life within the galaxy. Occasions conspire to reunite the gang for some good old school low-stakes adventuring.

Whereas I’m excited by the prospect of my Warrior of Gentle returning to her dungeon-delving, treasure-hunting roots, I’m ever looking out for the slightest trace of what may come within the subsequent enlargement. Within the trailer for Patch 6.1, we hear Y’shtola Rhul trace at her analysis into tips on how to journey between the completely different shards or situations of our world. The Stay Letter presentation with Yoshida additionally revealed that we’d be getting new facet quests with resident himbo gentleman detective Hildibrand Manderville, who we see wash up on the purple shores of The First.

Ultimate Fantasy’s finest woman Tataru Taru is getting her personal journey in patch 6.1. Tataru is the hardest-working lalafell in Eorzea. Interval. She is a queen. She is the second. She is the rationale Eorzea nonetheless stands as a result of she makes certain the folks whose job it’s to guard it have had a snack and a few water and a nap. It’s about time she obtained her personal story for a change. And whereas I do know her position is basically administrative, I hope there’s a future by which she might mud off her arcanist tome and be a part of us for a dungeon crawl or two.

Patch 6.1 will implement the Belief system for A Realm Reborn dungeons, which means as a substitute of ready ages in a dungeon queue, you’ll be able to celebration up with AI-controlled NPCs to finish a dungeon as a substitute. The Ultimate Fantasy XIV group is engaged on slowly rolling out the Belief system throughout the remainder of the earlier expansions.

There’s additionally a brand new raid, Myths of the Realm: Aglaia, which entails the 12 gods of Eorzea —one thing hinted at towards the top of Endwalker. There may even be a brand new PvP battle, numerous and varied class adjustments, and for the catboys on the market, new hairstyles for hrothgar.
