Earlier this morning during Letter from the Producer Live Part LXXXIV, the Final Fantasy XIV team unveiled the official trailer for Patch 7.1, titled Crossroads. The patch launches on November 12, adding primary scenario quests, a brand new Alliance Raid Dungeon titled Echoes of Vana’diel – Jeuno: The First Walk, the dungeon Yuweyawata Field Station, the trial The Minstrel’s Ballad: Sphene’s Burden, The Jade Stoa (Unreal), and an update to the Hall of the Novice. Patch 7.11 arrives on November 26 with a brand new Ultimate Raid, Futures Rewritten, specializing in Ryne and Gaia’s story from the Shadowbringers raid tier.
On December 17, Patch 7.15 will introduce Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures, Custom Deliveries for Nitowikwe, and quests for Wachumeqimeqi. Every week later, on December 24, players will get the primary Chaotic Alliance Raid with Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic). This update may also introduce Allied Society Quests with the Pelupelu, updates to housing and Doman Mahjong, together with latest PvP gear, mounts, minions, and emotes. Patch 7.16 arrives on January 21, adding latest Role Quests. Players may also gain Recent Game+ support for Patch 7.0, allowing them to replay primary scenario quests, job quests, and role quests. Halitali may also receive duty support.
The brand new 24-man Alliance Raid is a crossover with Final Fantasy XI, featuring Prishe, certainly one of the primary characters from the Chains of Promathia story and a representative of Final Fantasy XI within the Dissidia franchise.
Also announced through the stream was Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail – The Art of Succession – Relics of Heritage, a full-color art book available for preorder starting November 2. The team also announced a collaboration with Flibustier Paris, a family-owned jewelry brand, offering three bracelets that represent the sport’s Grand Firms: The Maelstrom, The Order of the Twin Adder, and The Immortal Flames.
As a longtime player of Final Fantasy XIV, I discovered the Dawntrail expansion to be mostly what I expected after the outstanding Endwalker expansion, which wrapped up a serious story arc. Dawntrail serves as a soft reset for the sport’s storyline and primary characters. While the story doesn’t reach the extent of quality seen in Shadowbringers and Endwalker, the dungeons and fight designs have been excellent.
