Attention fellow adventurers! The highly anticipated second part of patch 6.5 is finally here! Although I am excited about Dawn Trail, I am also somewhat sad to see this journey coming to an end. But fear not, a new journey awaits us, and with it, a new threat. Unfortunately, we will have to wait until this summer for this new adventure. It's funny how we tend to complain about waiting for new content in FFXIV, but it's also entertaining to kill time while we wait. So let's enjoy the wait together, my friends!
But anyway, before I discuss Patch 6.5, I want to share my overall feelings about the game. I really do love Final Fantasy XIV. I agree with what Yoshi-P said about how they took what is great about single-player content and incorporated it into the game. The story and gameplay are well integrated, and it makes the game feel alive. When I started playing the game at the beginning of 2021, I began to appreciate it more despite the daily grind. Although it can feel like a chore, I don't force myself to play it just to earn the tombstones, even though I need them to exchange for Gil and armor. It's a game that makes me feel good about myself, and it seems like the content will never end. It's worth the money, and when I log in, I'm transported into another world, doing things that I can't do in real life. Whether it's working to obtain a particular item, hanging out with others in a club, or simply taking my mind off my worries, Final Fantasy XIV has something for everyone. I typically spend two hours a day grinding for tombstones, MGP, doing MSQ level 50 dungeons, and Alliance raids. Some may find it boring, but I find it fun. Reading the chat is also entertaining, and I often find myself laughing out loud. Even when I'm not interacting with members of my Free Company, I enjoy seeing them in the game. It's an experience that I hope you can understand, but if not, that's okay.
6.5 part 1 recap
OK sorry about me saying all this random stuff. Ha ha ha So back to the game.
So what really happened in the first part of patch 6.5 of the game?
“Spoil Alert” in 6.5 we finally kind of defeated the most “I’m not saying disappointing but kind of decision-less bad guy” lol. Like what the heck, did we do all this for? Lol for someone’s lost sister lol. Technically she was kidnapped lol lmao I guess that Lord Golbez didn’t have any choice since the darkside took his soul? So we kick his ass and that epic transformation from Zero legit made me go “Holy Shit” 6 minutes later Golbez got to his senses from Zero counseling his feelings. Golbez felt like his world was ending, couldn't save it so he took everything with him down the gutter to end it all. Zero assured him that everything was going to be all right lol. Alright, my ass lmao. We waited like a year and a half to see this epic battle. Sadly he walks off and end of story lol. But what did the players get in return?? we went back to the first to meet Gaia, whom we met in Shadowbringers. And took her with us to meet everyone to have their support on this whole problem. Interestingly enough at the end, we got a cut scene Surprisingly confirming what Yoshi-P had said 2 years earlier. Saying that Krile will be an important character for DawnTrail. Revealing a special letter with a lucky clover earring from the archives. It was sent by Krile's grandfather. It said To investigate The golden city in Tural Then a mysterious-looking fellow arrives from the port in Garamarld
Two weeks ago, I read a blog post from someone who found version 6.4 of a certain game disappointing, and I agree with them. Some players skipped the 6.1x series, while others stayed online for a long time. To me, the 6.1x series was a mini-story with a few good features, but it wasn't the real deal. It was just something to keep us entertained until the release of the following expansion, called "DawnTrail." Lord Golbez was only a small trial run for the next major threat, even though I felt that the villain was not well-developed and had a story that kept us guessing. However, I must admit that the Alliance Raid story was fantastic, and the ending was so good that it could make you cry. The question is, was the entire 6.1 series worth waiting for? Surprisingly, the answer is yes!
If you enjoy what they offer in 6.1 and onwards. You're pretty much golden as a solo player. They added the needed features to avoid congestion and wait times. Even though we all felt like it was the end of the world that was happening it didn't actually happen that way. All thanks to Yoshi-p words coming from the rising event 2022.
Patch 6.5 Part 2
So what really happened in the second part of patch 6.5 of the game? After a long wait, we finally got to see some new characters in the game. At the FanFest, we were introduced to two new characters who needed our aid to win the grand prize. The first character is Erenville, whom we already met in patch 6.0. The second character is a female Hothgard named Wuk Lammt, who is the daughter of the late king of Tural. Erenville is accompanying his childhood friend Lammt to Eorzea to seek our assistance/help. Krile also joins us and shows off her powers before the rest of the crew sets sail to the new world. We know the rest of the crew will join us soon However, we are not sure who will accompany the other competitors on this journey. We'll have to wait and see.
Long story short we gotta keep the peace by winning the prize before hell breaks loose but from what though?
And this whole time the new world was kept secret.
So, that's pretty much everything. I won't delve into the details because I'm not really good at explaining it here. You'll have to discover it yourself and come up with your own interpretation. The ending graphics were impressive, and I'm excited to see what happens next.
