#FFXIV

2 more weeks too go!!!

It's finally September, and a lot of good news has come out for the upcoming patch 7.1.

A month ago around the Paris Japan EXPO Yoshi-P was hinting that he might include a 24-man Alliance savage raid.

It appears that will happen with the next Alliance raid [FF11 crossover] Echoes of Vana`diel. According to a PCGamesN article, Yoshi-P and the team aimed to create content that was challenging but not excessively difficult, finding a balance between the two. This decision was influenced by player feedback that the Endwalker alliance raids were too easy.

Here is Yoshi-P quote

However, this time when we were making the alliance raid, we decided very clearly what we wanted, When a player goes through on their first playthrough they will probably wipe three times – this was what we felt was a good line to draw. It's not that we want to make it difficult, but we want to provide an exciting experience for the players. So I hope they will experience that.

Another thing that also happen during Gamescom week Yoshi-P spoke to Meg Pelliccio from TheGamer.com about a multiverse

"He did mention that during the Paris Japan expo"

here is the link to thegamer.com article Becoming A Hingashi Shogun, A Multiverse, And Visiting The Future

He said we may go back to reflections future or the past in Kugane similar to what we did in patch 6.5 where we went back to the source"Shadowbringers area" as Hingashi Shogun character in a solo MSQ story-line? that will be connected to 7.1

Yoshi-P's quote on Living Memory

“By having this place, which is so incredibly beautiful, and shutting it down, you achieve a sense of catharsis, as it were. You also feel a sense of sadness. We put a lot of hard work into achieving this kind of theatrical effect that we wanted in the environment. When this idea was proposed to the artists, they were like, ‘Huh? This is an area we put so much effort in, and we're going to go and shut it down?’

This is a spoiler!!!

Yoshi-P also confirmed that the real Sphene was already dead when her universe was destroyed. So, even if we destroy the clone, the Queen's crown appears at the end, suggesting that we may encounter a look-alike or something similar to Sphene from another universe. Lol. Another queen??..."

Excited to see what 7.1 will offer and who we will encounter next. Maybe we'll fight a shogun whose universe almost died trying to fight back on their last breath? and man I'm excited to see what Echoes of Vana’diel will offer. Sadly we have to wait until November :(

Lastly, the FFXIV team visited Seattle's Paxwest 2024 to discuss a new feature incoming to 7.1x

The 4 back buttons and trackpads from the Steamdeck made FFXIV easier to play but i also use my Razer tartarus pro and Naga Trinity mmo mouse

I rather use legacy controls because the camera is better on the eye and movements.

Right place and right time?

A function to change the angle of a portrait-style screenshot is being developed.

No need to download mods for chat bubbles?

The "Strategy Board" raid planner is still in development and planned for release in the 7.x series.

Don't forget to complete This year's Rising event 2024 !!! You might find Yoshi- words very very encouraging
