Final Fantasy 14’s last updates before Dawntrail tease moon dungeons, more FFIV bosses and its Fall Guys crossover

rockpapershotgun.com:

Final Fantasy 14 has teased what to expect from the MMO’s upcoming patches, the last updates to hit the game before the release of incoming expansion Dawntrail next year. As usual, there’s a lot of stuff planned, from new dungeons and trials, to quests and XIV’s upcoming Fall Guys crossover.

Director Naoki Yoshida - aka Yoshi-P - detailed the incoming FF14 patches during the latest Letter from the Producer Live event, held during last weekend’s Fan Festival in Las Vegas. The patches will include a two-part release named Growing Light, which will begin setting up story elements for Dawntrail across two major updates landing in early October and next January.

6.5 will land in early October, and start laying the foundation for next year’s Dawntrail expansion. (Thanks, Nova Crystallis.) The main scenario will explore a new Expert dungeon on the moon, The Lunar Subterrane, following the major role played by the moon throughout previous expansion Endwalker and the patches since. In typical Yoshi-P fashion, he urged players to soak in the changing scenery during their adventures through the dungeon.

A new trial, The Abyssal Fracture, will pit players against Zeromus, continuing the Final Fantasy IV inspiration and cameos throughout Endwalker and its post-expansion story, following the appearance of fellow FF4 baddies in Golbez and the Four Fiends.

As well as including an Extreme version of The Abyssal Fracture, the 6.5 patch will also cycle in an Unreal difficulty version of Heavensward’s final boss The Singularity Reactor, replacing current Unreal trial Containment Bay Z1T9.

A third Myths of the Realm alliance raid will also be added, serving as the conclusion to the Aglaia and Euphrosyne raids added in patches 6.1
