Final Fantasy 14 Patch Adds NPC Companions For Solo Players
Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker's upcoming Patch 6.1 will include NPC companions for solo players. The latest expansion Endwalker ignited rapid exponential growth for Square Enix's MMORPG, even causing the developer to suspend the sale of FFXIV and its free trial for a time due to server capacity issues. Endwalker 6.1 is set to be released soon and fans anticipate the new content the update will add to what is deemed by players the best Final Fantasy 14 expansion.
Now that Endwalker's congestion issues have been repaired due to Square Enix expanding on the number of servers, FFXIV fans are awaiting the latest update to the expansion. While some aspects of the update are directly addressing issues players have found within Endwalker, others genuinely add to the RPG experience and build upon Endwalker's complex story. FFXIV is full of content already — including the base story that can take hundreds of hours to complete, multiple dungeons and trials, and the career that the player must learn. Players can also purchase their own homes in-game, and FFXIV plans to add a new housing lottery system in a new residential area in Patch 6.1 as well.

Square Enix also plans on extending the Duty Support System to cover expansion content in the future.
