Coming to the Final Fantasy XIV world Fall 2021!

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker. Is this the end? In case you didn’t know, Final Fantasy XI, the first MMO from Square Enix just celebrated 19 years online. So I don’t think FFXIV is going anywhere anytime soon. Here’s the full 6 minute trailer for Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker.

Here's the new nodes for patch 5.4 plus an ephemeral node update

In addition to the new items, there was also some major changes to the way collectable items are harvested, vist the ephemeral nodes page for full details and update locations for the nodes.

August 11 has been a long time coming.

We've been stuck on the current patch of FFXIV for 5 months now (thanks, covid). Finally some more news about 5.3 is out and we have an official release date of August 11. 

Patch 5.3, titled Reflections in Crystal, is scheduled to release on August 11th and is the ideal opportunity for new players to dive into FINAL FANTASY XIV Online. Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida announced that alongside the streamlining of the main questline of the original game, A Realm Reborn™, players new to FINAL FANTASY XIV Online can enjoy an expanded free trial experience which will include all content from A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward™ expansion—including the entire Patch 3.x series—up to level 60. The freely playable content represents hundreds of hours of award-winning gameplay and story experiences and comes with no limit on playtime.

Additionally, all existing and future A Realm Reborn players will also have access to the complete Heavensward expansion and all the benefits it includes.

Patch 5.3 also features many trials and challenges for veteran players to enjoy, including the finale of the Shadowbringers™ storyline, the next chapter in the NieR-inspired YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse alliance raid series, and more.

Further details on content planned to launch in the Patch 5.3 series is outlined below:

Every Friday night 9PM PST It's map night. Dragonskin style. This night we were lucky enough to be led by SugarNinja through the 7 floors of the Aquapolis. Great run, tons of loot.

Some quality life and zone improvements you've been waiting for.
