Today Square Enix broadcasted the first part of the 60th Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live, focusing on the next major update, numbered 5.4.
Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi provided a lot of information about the upcoming update.
Yet, before we move on to the next big one, Yoshida-san talked about 5.35 and showcased the equipment we can get in the Bozjan Southern Front battlefield.
Patch 5.4 will be titled “Futures Rewritten.” It will release in early December 2020. The development team is on track to release the update on schedule.
It will include (of course) new main scenario quests that will start a new chapter of the story and a new instanced dungeon titled “Matoya’s Relict” which will be compatible with the trust system. We see respectively a screenshot and artwork of the main story and dungeon.
A new “Chronicles of a New Era” questline will be titled The “Sorrow of Werlyt.” You can see a screenshot below. It’ll include a new trial that will have us fight against the Emerald Weapon and the extreme version (the specific title for the trial is still to be determined).
The new raid dungeon will bring back Eden with “Eden’s Promise” and its savage version. You’ll need to have completed the main story of update 5.3 to challenge this. Here’s a screenshot.
