The Road to 6.5 part2 part4 Full 7.0
01-08-2024
Japan FanFest has arrived and there was so much to be said
I will talk about how I feel about what I just saw on the Full reveal trailer on 7.0. Here's the Full Trailer.
And before I say anything about 7.0.
6.5 part 2 will be released on January,16,2024. The day before the release is a full 24-hour Maintenance. Apparently, they will also replace Japan servers with new hardware during the 24 maintenance. In the meantime, we will meet a very very special character that will lead us to 7.0. A request has been made for the Warrior of Light's help. The requester is the daughter of Tural's current ruler. It is related to a competition that will determine the successor to the throne. there may be unexpected events that will take place. The Scions' involvement in the competition is currently unknown. Maybe there will be a split on who will be taking the prize?
Yoshi-P had said that they are not sure when but know it will be a Summer 2024 Release. They didn’t want to repeat the same mistake with End-Walker and delay it. They know that it is done but they wanted to make sure it is picture-perfect. He makes a joke that it will be on FFXIV time but won’t release it in the fall lmao. So we are expecting it to be a June through August release? That's so much time though lol.
Its OK!!! despite waiting we can just enjoy other things or keep grinding until DawnTrail.
FanFest Started way back in the summer of July 2023 in Las Vegas Nevada. Yoshi-p Showing us A small taste of where will we go in 7.0 called DawnTrail. After the small teaser trailer, Yoshi-P flashes his TMNT t-shirt, At first we all didn’t know what we were looking at. But we do know that sometimes this is a way to show us what the new jobs are. For example, he did this with Samurai when he walked out with a Spider-Man T-shirt lmao. Fans had speculated that the new jobs could be Corsair or even Beast Master. And So we were right and wrong. And then at FanFest Europe, the first job that was revealed to us was Viper. Minus anything relating to Corsair.
And now the next and final job is a DPS magic Ranged caster called u guessed it pictomancer!!!.
The Newest Job
Pictomancer is a ranged magical DPS job and will use Casting gear. Their weapon is a brush. There is no requisite class to level, and it will start at Level 80. The quest chain will start in Gridania. In combat, the Pictomancer "works in the medium of mixed aether, wielding a specialized brush to render their imaginings reality." Pictomancers in Final Fantasy XIV will create not only creatures and weapons but landscapes as well. There are unique visual effects for this class to make it look like they're drawing. Creating art takes time, but they have instant-cast abilities and spells, as well as buffs for the party. It's not a full support job, but it's not purely attack-focused like Black Mage for example. Pictomancers will not be able to raise party members in battle.
New Area
Tural is west of the Three Great Continents. Newly revealed here is the northern region you will explore in Dawntrail.
Tuliyollal has a bridge that connects the northern and southern regions of Tural. The story will take place in these two regions and may feel like two sections, but will be one story.
can we cross the bridge???
Solution Nine is a city of towering facades constructed by an entirely different civilization than Tuliyollal. This is a player hub. Kind of like in old sharlayan.
Heritage Found is a region overflowing with lightning energies, thick thunderclouds blot out the sun, while streaks of purple illuminate the land day and night. It's not a dungeon, and people live here. Maybe the endgame hub?
I hope we can ride that lmao
NEW NPC In DawnTrail
New Dungeons and updated with new battle content.
The plan in 7.0 with new dungeons, new Raids, and the new you know ultimate raid.
Duty Support will be updated with Krile will be making her debut as a Pictomancer here alongside you.
New "lifestyle content" will be launched in Dawntrail. The team has a concept artwork to show. Pictured are characters on "different planets." It's not just one, but "a bunch." This new content is called "Cosmic Exploration". You can play this content solo, but you can play together with others to make progress. With each update, the planet that you are working on will change. It'll be a bit different than the main scenario and way more different than Island Sanctuary but the team wants you to think about the places you'll go and what you'll do there. There will be more info about Cosmic Exploration in future Letters from the Producer Live broadcasts.
What's new content do we have in 7.1x?
What new content do we have in 7.1x? A new limited job around 7.1x or later is
BeastMaster. Like Blue Mage, the content is designed so that you can play solo or with other players in a party. Blue Mage will also be updated throughout 7.1x series.
New Alliance Raid series will start in Patch 7.1. more Hildibrand quests, new Deep Dungeons, a Gold Saucer update, a PvP update, and new Variant/Criterion dungeons Dungeons will come in 7.1x series patches following the Dawntrail expansion. And maybe more content update to island sanctuary.
The team received a lot of feedback about no new Field Operation (Eureka, Bozja). There will be a new Field Operation in 7.1 x that will require a lot of players to participate to clear. They hope you look forward to future information. Yoshida comments that the times have changed and attitudes have changed about the Field Operations content since the release of Eureka. They saw it through to the end and worked hard and develop it into something players could enjoy.
