Following the Starlight Celebration and Heavensturn holiday events, a significant new update is around the way for Final Fantasy XIV. Square Enix detailed the upcoming 4.2 patch around the game's official internet site, and it really is set to introduce new dungeons, scenarios, mounts, and more to the MMO later this month.
The centerpiece of update 4.2 is a new story situation titled Rise of a brand new Sun, which requires players back to the nation of Doma. Here's how Square Enix describes the situation: "Thanks towards the Warrior of Light's heroic deeds and Raubahn's long-awaited return, Ala Mhigo continues its steady march towards recovery. But there's no rest for the Scions with the Seventh Dawn, for the winds of FFXIV Gil problems are blowing from the Far East, exactly where an unexpected spark threatens to set the kindling of chaos ablaze. Can Doma survive the brewing firestorm to welcome the light on the new day?"
The update also introduces a brand new side quest named The Jade Stoa, as well as two new dungeons: Hells' Lid and a Challenging version of your Fractal Continuum. The former is really a volcanic island that's household to a variety of oni, while the latter is an ancient museum that houses "both technological marvels and chimerical horrors."
Moreover, update 4.2 adds a PvP map known as the Crystal Tower Instruction Grounds, also as a new group system that allows you to band together with as much as five other players and compete against other teams in ranked matches. Square Enix can also be adjusting the rules for PvP battles, shortening their duration and adding a new Light Medal effect that reduces the harm you take because the quantity of medals you are holding drops.
Other notable new capabilities coming in update 4.2 are several new mounts, for instance a griffin, an auspicious kamuy, or the unsettling magitek death claw, which you could see inside the screenshot above. Players will also have the ability to buy FFXIV Gil make a submersible in their business workshop and hunt for treasures inside the ocean, when bards' Functionality action has been revamped using a new interface and much more piano, lute, and fiddle tones.
Square Enix hasn't announced a release date for Final Fantasy XIV's 4.2 update, but it really is slated to arrive "late" this month. Within the meantime, you could read the full patch notes for the forthcoming update on the official Final Fantasy XIV site.
