Final Fantasy XIV: The next addon is already in the works – you can expect that in the near future

On By Garmin Philip

In a long stream on the Japanese radio station Mog Station, the boss of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, spoke about the near and distant future of the MMORPG. The next add-on 7.0 is therefore already in development. In addition, further adjustments for the jobs will come with the next patch 6.08.

This is coming in the near future: On January 4th, the new patch 6.05 appeared on FFXIV with an epic Pandaemonium raid and casual content Euphoratron. During a stream on Radio Mog Station, director Yoshida revealed some details about what fans can expect soon.

The new Job Schnitter is currently very strong and offers not only high personal DPS but also good support for the group. That makes other jobs besides raiding look less rewarding. But instead of nerfing the reaper, other jobs are instead buffed so that they can keep up with him. That should provide a better balance.

The changes will come with patch 6.08. Although it has no release date, experience shows that it should appear in February at the latest. The following jobs get a buff:

  • Samurai
  • Black magician
  • Mönch

Yoshida also believes that dancers and paladins should also get buffs. However, it was also noted that jobs that were not mentioned in the radio talk will also receive adjustments. Just not all jobs.

In February there will be a big letter from the producer that will give fans an overview of the upcoming content. The information should span the complete 6.x patch series up to patch 7.0, which is the new add-on.

Above all, the contents of Patch 6.1 are presented. It is already known that the patch will bring the first part of the 24-man raid Mythen Eorzea and major changes in PvP. The exact information about the continuation of the story or about the eagerly awaited content of Paradise Island is still rare. That will change in February.

Here’s how it is about the sale of FFXIV: The MMORPG is currently in a complete sales stop due to the overcrowded servers and the free test version has also been temporarily discontinued. During the radio stream, Yoshida stated that there will be new information about the booth in the coming weeks.

The team is currently planning to install new servers, including the Oceania data center. According to Yoshida, there will be a roadmap for this at the earliest this week.

The story is over, long live the story

This is what Yoshida says about the addon: Although the latest expansion, Endwalker, has only just been released, Director Yoshida was already talking about the next add-on. The development on it has already started and the rough story structure is also already fixed, says Yoshida.

He mentioned earlier that this is going to be a completely new story line that players won’t start as “warriors of light” but as normal adventurers again. Characters like Krile and Thancred will play an important role in the upcoming patches, but there will also be a number of completely new characters to accompany you on your new journey.

What will come after space? Even if the scene changes, it will continue to be a battle of values. We still have a lot that we want to show you and we have already decided what it will be.

Players can therefore look forward to further moral and philosophical questions in the story, even if the Hydaelyn Zodiark saga with Endwalker is over.

The team is also already considering which job will be the next “poster job” for the Warrior of Light, also called Meteor Survivor or Hiroshi in Japanese. He stands on behalf of the FFXIV players and has taken on a new job with each expansion. In Endwalker it was Paladin, in Shadowbringers Dark Knight.

The host of Radio Mog Station also asked if the Warrior of Light could also be female. Similar to the case of Endwalker in the official co-op video “Fly me to the Moon” with Sia.

Yoshida replied that he hasn’t thought about it yet. Since he’s slowly having to worry about the trailer for the next add-on, he’ll take the question into account.

So it shouldn’t be long before the next flood of information about the upcoming content arrives in FFXIV. If the development team maintains their usual pace, fans can expect the next content update Patch 6.1 in spring 2022.
