Although it is difficult for the whole world to bring various gangs back together, Final Fantasy 14 The development team has started using the latest version to tease the contents of its next patch Live letter, The first website severely affected by COVID-19.
It happened last week and was broadcast live in Japanese, but today a full English translation was released, providing us with some official details and clues about what happened in the next patch. This is detailed information.
The elephant in the room is the impact of COVID-19 on the release of this patch. The short answer is that the patch "will be delayed at least one month from the planned release in June." FFXIV's 5.3 patch will be released as early as July, But even developers are not confident enough to give a new expected release date, which may be even later.
We do have a name. Reflection in the crystal It will be the title of the new patch, and we have confirmed that "the storyline of the Shadow Messenger has reached its conclusion." The storyline of this patch has confirmed a new dungeon, and this patch may also join a new experiment (also extreme). This means that we are likely to see the end of Crystal Exarch's story, the first, and perhaps the final farewell. If you want to promote the trailer, please Emet-Selch.
For many people, even more exciting is that this patch brings many of the "rebirth of the world" changes fans have been looking for. Now that you are seven years old, you still need to complete "The Realm of Rebirth" to continue the expansion (similar to World of Warcraft, when the expansion begins, you will catch up and catch everyone else). Therefore, the development team redesigned it.
13% of all A Realm Reborn missions have been removed. Many meaningless steps of two-line conversations with random NPCs have disappeared. The patch mission of "Rebirth Kingdom" is freed from a series of stories that cover stories from the world's shock to boring. Adjusted the experience value so that the player does not need to complete a single task (unless for some unexplainable reason, unless you really, really entered the 7-year-old MMORPG conversation). Players can now also fly in the "birth of life" areas, making navigation in these areas less troublesome.
In addition to the main storyline and ARR updates, there are new features Willet's sorrow (This is the Ruby Weapon series, suitable for players who are purely used for FF7 reference) missions, although this time there is no trial, just a single combat encounter. However, for those seeking reference, the most interesting is Puppet's bunker, the new 24-man alliance raid, Continue to execute NieR: Automata Cross-Boundary Task Series. A quick recap, 9S from NieR: Automata appeared in The First World of FFXIV for unknown reasons, made many dead 2B, controlled the machine, and was usually evil. Now, it seems that he is rebuilding the bunker from NieR: Automata, which is a completely normal job.
There is a new upgradeable weapon content, the Bozjan Southern Front (Shadow Messenger is equivalent to the forbidden area in the Eureka series), a "large" (more than 100 players) instance that can help you upgrade resistant weapons from the 5.2 patch. It is completely optional and there is another method that has not been upgraded.
Finally, a new trial version is provided. This is the first time this extension has been introduced into a new difficulty level, called "difficulty level" Unreal Trial, A battle to enlarge the original elements in "Rebirth Realm" to level 80 and rebalance. The patch will be Shiva, but this is what we know: the background of the trailer picture is Khloe Aliapoh, so it is likely that it was completed by her, and this fact is supported because the completion of this experiment can be accessed by a named Artificial hollow, You guessed it, without any details.
For craftsmen, the new quality of life is also changing Test synthesis (This allows manual recipes to be tested without the use of materials), as well as the new Ishgardian restoration target for crafters to sink into. A new tribe, the shadow messenger dwarf, will also provide crafters with new daily tasks. Looking forward to more lali-hos.
According to the previous cycle, I hope to release the next Live Letter in the next few weeks to display key art works, and there may be a trailer, but in view of the continuing events of coronavirus, we are in the unknown field, so maybe you please Take some time to reread these. Of course, considering that the next patch or two may include a mention of "Black Rose", this is a deadly airborne weapon that can kill those who inhale it … Yes, maybe wait a month or two, To develop the team.
