FFXIV Patch 6.3

  • Release Date: Early January 2023
  • Patch Notes: Final Fantasy XIV patch 6.3 is titled Gods Revel, Lands Tremble and releases in early January 2023. According to the latest Letter From The Producer Live broadcast, besides the usual continuation of the main scenario quest and sidequests, Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.3 will add a new MSQ Dungeon (The Lapis Manalis), a new Trial (The next Unreal-difficulty Trial is Sophia in Containment Bay P1T6), and a new Alliance Raid (Euphrosyne). In line with the tradition to streamline all Main Scenario Quests, in Patch 6.3, the Trust System (system that adds multiplayer mode to single player quests) will be applied to the rest of Heavensward, making the Main Scenario Quests of the expansion completely playable in 4-man multiplayer mode. The second part of the “Myths of the Realms” multiraid gets added in this patch, too. There will also be minor updates for: Job adjustments, PvP actions, Crafting & Gathering and Miscellaneous (housing, UI improvements).

FFXIV Patch 6.2

  • Release Date: August 23rd
  • Patch Notes: A few of the contents of this patch are not yet explained, while the rest are. The next part of the multi-raid “Pandaemonium” will be added, allowing players to continue with the activity. There’s also a new dungeon albeit without a confirmed name; tentatively called “Criterion”, it will be available right off the bat with multiple difficulty settings. There will also be a new weapon enhancement system, new Trials, new Faux Hollows, and a new casual activity called “Island Sanctuary”. Finally, the game is making the Main Scenario Quests after the A Realm Reborn update to be playable in multiplayer mode via the Trust System; a few parts of the Heavensward expansion will be included as well.
