Today’s version of Update 5.55 for Final Fantasy XIV provides the second part of the last main story quest before the Endwalker Expansion, adds additional storyline for the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse quest line and marks the official launch of the PS5 version of the game. Most importantly, with the update I can rock on a cliff with my electric guitar.
Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers hit the home stretch with Update 5.55 and complete the final chapter of its epic story while the stage is set for November Endwalker
For the record, the electric guitars are just as majestic as their announcement suggested. Players can switch between multiple voices on the fly, play power chords and look damn good doing it. My new bard, Raccoon Davis, has already made several friends while spamming licks in the Limsa Lominsa courtyard.
Here are the other things the update brings in official Square Enix bullet form.
G / O Media can receive a commission
- Patch 5.5 main scenario, part II – The second part of this last main scenario update before Endwalker sets the stage for the upcoming expansion in a great way.
- YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse – Additional YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse epic story has been added to this epic crossover quest series.
- Questline Update “Save the Queen” – This latest update includes a new field area, “Zadnor”, an increased Resistance Rank cap of 25, a definitive upgrade in Resistance Weapons, and a new large-scale combat content Dalriada for up to 48 players.
And today is the full launch again of the PlayStation 5 version of the game I was playing in beta since the start Last month. It’s beautiful and runs so well that I figured out how to play with a DualSense controller instead of plugging a keyboard into my console like a sucker.
It’s a good day to be again Final Fantasy XIV Player. It’s an even better day to be one FFXIV Bard. Let’s rock.
