Final Fantasy 14 Patch 7.45 dropped earlier today, bringing with it a brand new Variant Dungeon that we’ll all be diving into, giving us glam, mounts, and minions to farm that can hopefully put us on until Patch 7.5. We’re approaching the business end of post-Dawntrail now, and that naturally has people wondering exactly what FF14’s next expansion goes to entail.
While we’ll probably need to wait until the primary FF14 FanFest of the yr for concrete details, we can have been given our first due to dataminers, who’ve been sifting through Patch 7.45 to see exactly what the longer term holds. Seems, a minion and a mount are what the longer term hold, and if based on what they’re, it is a possibility they might be linked to the sport’s next expansion.
In fact, it should go without saying, but should you don’t desire any probability of the subsequent expansion being spoiled for you, don’t keep reading.
Final Fantasy 14 Might Be Pressing The Emergency Button For Its Next Expansion
First posted to one in all Final Fantasy 14’s many subreddits by a user called Nykona, dataminers have uncovered images of what look like a Wind-Up Red XIII minion, and one in all Cloud’s bikes that appears just like the Hardy-Daytona he uses in Final Fantasy 7 and its remake. To be clear, these aren’t definitively linked to the subsequent expansion, but it surely’s value noting that each Endwalker and Dawntrail were heavily inspired by Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 9 respectively, with minions of characters like Polom and Garnet used as pre-order bonuses.
It is also been a joke amongst Final Fantasy 14 fans for some time that Square Enix probably sees Final Fantasy 7 collabs as a final resort, almost like a “smash glass in case of emergency” tactic. Final Fantasy 14’s numbers have been dropping pretty steadily ever since Dawntrail’s release, meaning something big is required to spice up them back up again. An FF7-themed expansion can be pretty big.
If I used to be to be a buzzkill, there are also several ways through which this minion and mount discovery could mean nothing in any respect. Do not forget, we’ve got a FanFest coming in April, and minions based on Final Fantasy characters have been offered up as rewards for purchasing FanFest tickets up to now, akin to Tifa, Yuna, Cloud, and more. Actually, one other of Cloud’s bikes (Fenrir) was a FanFest reward too.
There’s also the very slim possibility that these might be pre-order bonuses for Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Part 3, which we have been assured for quite a while that we’ll be getting news about soon. It’s unlikely, as we’ll probably get Patch 7.5 before then, but I’m just throwing it on the market as a possible explanation for the incoming FF7-related goodies.
Fact of the matter is that no person really knows what the Red XIII minion and Cloud bike mount mean. It might be a touch at the subsequent expansion, or it might be completely nothing, but one thing that we do know of course is that they are coming. Hopefully, we cannot need to wait too long to seek out out exactly how we’ll get them.
