Today Square Enix hosted the 62nd Letter From the Producer Live broadcast revealing tons more details about Final Fantasy XIV update 5.5
Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi provided a lot of information and assets.
First of all, we learn that following part 1 of the patch on April 13 (of which you can watch a really epic trailer), part 2 will come at the end of May.
Below you can read an overview of the two parts of the update. The story quest will be split between the two parts.
We learn that Part 3 of the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse alliance raid will be titled The Tower at Paradigm’s Breach.
The new content for the Save the Queen questline will come in the second part of the update.
Interestingly, the new delivery client will be Count Charlemend de Durendaire. He’s definitely an interesting choice.
Interestingly, an item that the team wanted to originally sell on the Mog Station will instead be available for MGP in the Gold Saucer. Yoshida-san teased the Regalia from Final Fantasy XV, which was included in a collaboration event a while ago.
A new quality of life update will let players receive achievement rewards directly from the achievement menu instead of having to run to the NPC in Gridania.
The update to collision detection is going to affect the communication between server and client in order to prepare the game for the future so that it can be kept running for a long time.
