As announced a few months ago, Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker will begin its major updates next April.
After being announced and teased during the 68th live “Letter from the Producer” last February, Final Fantasy 14 will receive its patch 6.1 on April 12the first of a long series of major updates.
Newfound Adventure and Co.
With this new update, Final Fantasy 14 gets several additions like new challenges, new instances, a brand new raid and the implementation of the Reinforcements systemallowing to run through dungeons normally designed for 4 players with an AI team.
Bonus, the 6.1 update begins an almost general graphical overhaul of the game which intends to modernize further. Since, if his artistic direction has always hit the bull’s eye for all these years, the graphics engine is starting to weaken.
Update 6.1 will see the implementation of the new system called Reinforcements, based on the current adjuration system and integrated into the A Realm Reborn (2.0) content. Thanks to this new system, all instanced dungeons and challenges accessible to 4 players can also be completed with the help of an allied team of NPCs. A total overhaul of “Cap Vendouest” and other instances is also expected, in order to guarantee an accessible game experience in single player mode. The adjuration system will also be extended to 2.x content, as well as the Heavensward expansion and beyond
