Anyway, I dig it. It’s a bit extra hopeful than what I anticipated, however figuring out the sport, FFXIV Patch 6.5 may simply as simply take a flip for the grim. As for brand new options, right here’s the prolonged checklist organized by model:

FFXIV 6.5 and 6.5x

• Important Situation Quests – Rising Mild

• Dungeon – The Lunar Subterrane
• Trial – The Abyssal Fracture and Excessive model
• Unreal Trial – The Singularity Reactor (Thordan Unreal)
• Margrat’s Customized Deliveries
• Island Sanctuary updates
• Responsibility Assist updates
• Xbox Open Beta

In FFXIV Patch 6.5, we’ll (possible) see the Void’s solemn story come to a detailed. As is custom, the ultimate patches sometimes lead into the following main arc for the sport. Issues with Endwalker are a little bit of a wild card since this final growth positioned itself as a capstone to the overarching, main story beats. Regardless, we’re winding in preparation for one thing main subsequent 12 months — that’s when the Dawntrail growth launches.

As a reminder, don’t neglect to complete up your Moogle Tomestone grind earlier than the FFXIV Patch 6.5 replace. It’s a good time to farm the MMO’s large Rival Wings PvP mode and an opportunity to get the Kamuy of the 9 Tails mount. There’s additionally the 2023 version of The Rising, with this 12 months’s model providing a sentimental tribute to an previous hero with the restricted Rising Phoenix mount.
