Today Square Enix hosted the 70th Final Fantasy XIV Letter From the Producer Live broadcast, focusing on upcoming update 6.1.
The update, about which we had heard plenty of information a month ago, will launch on PS5, PS4, and PC on April 12.
As usual, producer and director Naoki Yoshida and global community producer Toshio Murouchi provided plenty of details.
First of all, we learn that the main scenario quest part of the update will be quite sizable, so the new sidequests including the “Tataru’s Grand Endeavor” series will launch in a following 6.1X update.
The Arkasodara quests will come in update 6.15 alongside the new Hildibrand series and new custom deliveries focusing on Ameliance Leveilleur.
Omega: Beyond the Rift will also come in a following 6.1X update.
Today we get new videos, including a demonstration of the Duty Support System, which will let you enjoy earlier dungeons with level-appropriate NPC characters. The NPCs are chosen automatically depending on the player’s role, and won’t become manually selectable until Shadowbringers’ dungeons.
The new Ultimate Duty Dragonsong’s Reprise will come in update 6.11. Data Center travel will come in 6.18. The team is currently debugging and polishing the feature.
The Adventurer Plates and the Portrait Editor will make it in for 6.1, but in a beta version so that players can provide feedback.
Below you can take a look at the new hairstyles for Hrotgar characters.
