Final Fantasy XIV has been in the market for a few years now and has gained immense popularity over time. As such, there have been countless updates, additions, and expansions to give players more reasons to keep coming back for more.

The latest patch updates the game to version 6.25. It adds in tons of new content, including the introduction of Manderville weapons, Omicron tribal quests, along with
