Live from the Tokyo Game Show floor, game director Naoki Yoshida and community producer Toshio Murouchi host FF14 Live Letter 83, showing off everything in Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.1. Among the reveals are the Echoes of Vana\u2019diel alliance raid, a dungeon reminiscent of Resident Evil, the grand return of Hildibrand, and that much-touted first 24-player savage fight.\n<\/p>\n<p>Producer Live Letter 83 opens with a lovely spoiler-filled trailer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn\">Final Fantasy 14<\/a> Dawntrail \u2013 fair warning that you may want to hold off on reading this coverage if you\u2019re yet to finish the latest expansion\u2019s main story. While we don\u2019t get an exact FF14 7.1 release date here, Yoshida does tease that \u201cas an experienced player, you probably already know what date this will be, but we can\u2019t confirm.\u201d Player\u2019s intuition from many, many years with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/10-best-pc-mmos\">MMORPG<\/a> suggests that means it will fall on Tuesday November 12, but we should get official confirmation with the next FF14 PLL if you want to wait to book your time off.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"ozRNbqPE9K0\" data-embed-type=\"standard\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ozRNbqPE9K0\/sddefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" height=\"309\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yoshida begins by noting that, as ever, this first reveal of the next FF14 update won\u2019t include any in-game footage, so you\u2019ll have to wait for the next Live Letter for that one. He also explains, \u201cI am in the middle of checking the patch, so there is no trailer today. We haven\u2019t even started on it yet.\u201d However, he does go on to say that \u201cWe got a lot of feedback after the release of 7.0 and we hope we can show a bit of what we managed to implement for 7.1 today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FF14 7.1 is titled \u2018Crossroads,\u2019 and we get a look at the official art for the expansion, which features some notable figures. In the middle is Dawntrail fan favorite Bakool Ja Ja, who players will be glad to see isn\u2019t stepping completely out of the spotlight. In front of him is Prishe, who FF11 veterans will remember as one of the main NPCs from Final Fantasy 11\u2019s Chains of Promathia story. Expect to see her in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/final-fantasy-xiv\/echoes-of-vanadiel\">FF14 Echoes of Vana\u2019diel<\/a> alliance raid series, then.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-release-window-artwork.jpg\" class=\"gallery\"><span class=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404721 size-full\" title=\"ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-release-window-artwork\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-release-window-artwork.jpg\" alt=\"Artwork for FF14 patch 7.1 'Crossroads' launching in mid-November 2024.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Behind them is what looks to be the final form of Ryne in the new 7.1 ultimate raid, Futures Rewritten. At one side is Shadow Lord, another FF11 character \u2013 its original primary antagonist, in fact \u2013 who we already know will be part of the Echoes of Vana\u2019diel alliance raid. Finally, rounding out the image is the Cloud of Darkness from FF14\u2019s Crystal Tower raid series, who will be making a dramatic return as the first face of the much-teased 24-player savage content.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll of course be continuing the MSQ, and it looks like we\u2019ll be starting to tie up some of Dawntrail\u2019s loose ends. Expect to spend a bit more time with our new Dawnservants, then, as we tidy up from the fight against Sphene and attempt to figure out young Gulool Ja\u2019s place in the world. It also appears we\u2019ll be digging a bit more deeply into Zoraal Ja\u2019s past, and his relationship with his own father.<\/p>\n<p>Our next dungeon is Yuweyawata Field Station, which looks almost like something out of the Resident Evil series. Hopefully, we get to learn more about the dark history of blessed siblings and the royal bloodline here, and perhaps see another side of Gulool Ja Ja himself. Yoshida also notes that \u201cthe third boss is very engaging \u2013 it might make you feel like, \u2018Don\u2019t do this, guys!\u2019\u201d It sounds like we\u2019ll be continuing with Dawntrail\u2019s trend towards slightly more challenging combat content, then, which I\u2019m very excited for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-dungeon-yuweyawata-field-station.jpg\" class=\"gallery\"><span class=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404722 size-full\" title=\"ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-dungeon-yuweyawata-field-station\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-dungeon-yuweyawata-field-station.jpg\" alt=\"FF14 7.1 patch details PLL 83 - New dungeon Yuweyawata Field Statioin, a grimy research lab with covered tables lurking behind blood-splattered glass doors.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our new allied society quests in 7.1 are with the Pelupelu, and Yoshida notes that this is for battle jobs, meaning you can use it to level your other classes, although he adds that \u201cI think leveling in our game is already pretty easy.\u201d In fantastic news, our custom deliveries NPC is Nitowikwe, the female Hrothgar train driver from Shaaloani. Hopefully that means we can help to get the railway back on track after its repeated (and rather explosive) disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>The role quest finale will be introduced for players who have completed all of the 7.0 role quests \u2013 Yoshida notes that the team \u201cdid spend quite a bit [of time] on this quest, just so you know.\u201d There will also be additional Wachumeqimeqi quests if you have already finished the previous crafting and gathering missions, which Yoshida describes as \u201csort of a finale for the business district\u201d in Tuliyollal.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Hildibrand will be making his grand return as promised, along with his faithful assistant Nashu, who we already get a glimpse of in Solution Nine. Yoshida says the 7.1 story is \u201csort of a prologue for the Dawntrail version of Hildibrand, but it should show the direction we\u2019re going.\u201d You can also jump into New Game Plus for Dawntrail\u2019s MSQ when the new update arrives, which will give you another way to revisit the original look for its final zone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-echoes-of-vanadiel-alliance-raid-jeuno-the-first-walk.jpg\" class=\"gallery\"><span class=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404723 size-full\" title=\"ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-echoes-of-vanadiel-alliance-raid-jeuno-the-first-walk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-echoes-of-vanadiel-alliance-raid-jeuno-the-first-walk.jpg\" alt=\"FF14 7.1 patch details PLL 83 - New alliance raid Echoese of Vana'diel part 1, Jeuno: The First Walk, with a room resembling the FF11 throne room of Castle Zvahl.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We then turn our attention to the new alliance raid, Echoes of Vana\u2019diel. The first of these is Jeuno: The First Walk. Yoshida confirms that these are considered to be in the world of Final Fantasy 14, not that of FF11, but does note that some of the staff working on this alliance raid also worked on its equivalent in the other MMO. We also get a glimpse of an area that looks like the throne room of Castle Zvahl, which plays host to the tomb of the Shadow Lord in FF11.<\/p>\n<p>Our trial for this expansion, as expected, is the extreme variant for the final MSQ fight, The Minstrel\u2019s Ballad: Sphene\u2019s Burden. The trial\u2019s baseline incarnation, The Interphos, is one of my favorite 8-player encounters in a while. Murouchi mentions that fight\u2019s notorious Absolute Authority mechanic, saying, \u201cit\u2019s just wild.\u201d \u201cWe did debate if it might have been a bit too much,\u201d Yoshida responds, \u201cIt will be interesting to see what happens with that in the extreme. It might be friendlier than normal mode,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n<p>Then comes something all-new: chaotic alliance raids. As revealed during my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/final-fantasy-xiv\/ff14-dawntrail-combat-yoshida-interview\">FF14 Dawntrail combat interview<\/a> with Yoshida, this will feature a series of challenging 24-player fights based on past alliance raid content. The first of these is The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic). \u201cWe wanted to have sort of an extreme feel,\u201d Yoshida remarks, \u201cbut then the developer Mr Ozma [a designer known for his work on some of FF14\u2019s hardest content] said, \u2018Oopsie, it turned a bit more into a savage than an extreme.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-chaotic-alliance-raid-the-cloud-of-darkness.jpg\" class=\"gallery\"><span class=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404724 size-full\" title=\"ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-chaotic-alliance-raid-the-cloud-of-darkness\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-chaotic-alliance-raid-the-cloud-of-darkness.jpg\" alt=\"FF14 7.1 patch details PLL 83 - New chaotic alliance raid, a 24-player savage fight against The Cloud of Darkness from the Crystal Tower's World of Darkness AR.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have only planned for this one for now,\u201d Yoshida continues,\u201d and depending on feedback we will add more in the future.\u201d He notes that you won\u2019t have to deal with trash mobs, just the fight itself, but it looks pretty intense, featuring towers that seemingly require all 24 players to be spread out perfectly across numerous platforms to succeed. Yoshida also announces that there will be a \u201cchanged reward system that gives incentive for players to repeatedly clear [the fight] and help out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Futures Rewritten Ultimate is set to arrive \u201cone or two weeks after 7.1,\u201d and will naturally be the promised reimagining of the Shadowbringers Eden raid series. \u201cI am always told to take care of my health, especially my mental health,\u201d Yoshida says, addressing the audience and viewers directly, \u201cso please take care of your health when you challenge this content.\u201d Whether he\u2019s talking about the sheer level of challenge or the emotional toll from the narrative isn\u2019t clear, but I\u2019d expect a little of both.<\/p>\n<p>Housing has been given a big update \u2013 you\u2019ll now be able to change the interior layout of your house regardless of where it is located, and there\u2019s even a new design to choose from without pillars. You can switch this as often as you want for free, but if you\u2019re looking to spend some Gil then Yoshida teases that \u2013 not in 7.1, but eventually in the future \u2013 you\u2019ll be able to change the internal size of your house to a larger or smaller one. \u201cIt would be unfair to players who fought hard to get a large plot [if it was free], so upgrading the inside will be costly,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-new-housing-interior-no-pillars.jpg\" class=\"gallery\"><span class=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404725 size-full\" title=\"ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-new-housing-interior-no-pillars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-new-housing-interior-no-pillars.jpg\" alt=\"FF14 7.1 patch details PLL 83 - A new housing interior design with light cream walls and no pillars.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, we\u2019re also getting some additional support content for new players. The Hall of the Novice is being expanded to teach how specific battle mechanics such as stack markers, spread markers, towers, gaze mechanics, and tankbusters work, something I spoke to Yoshida about in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/final-fantasy-xiv\/ff14-dawntrail-yoshida-interview-difficulty\">FF14 Dawntrail media tour interview<\/a>. \u201cAnyone that hasn\u2019t played tank doesn\u2019t think too much about the markers we have for tank-specific mechanics, all they know is \u2018something that is unrelated to me but it hurts,\u2019\u201d Yoshida adds.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, duty support is coming for some of the dungeons that aren\u2019t required for MSQ progression, although don\u2019t expect them too soon. Patch 7.1 will see the addition of NPC companions for the very first optional dungeon, Halatali. \u201cWe will be <em>slowly<\/em> starting to add support,\u201d Yoshida explains. \u201cIf you compare Halatali to the current dungeons, it\u2019s <em>very<\/em> different, you know. We might take ten years. Aurum Vale? Maybe one day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expect balance changes in 7.1; Yoshida notes that there will be some PvE job changes made, but says, \u201cwe\u2019re trying not to nerf anything, especially with the ultimate in mind, and buff jobs within roles where needed.\u201d More details on that will come with the next PLL. FF14 PvP, however, is introducing new actions for every job except the two newcomers, Viper and Pictomancer \u2013 \u201cMy beloved Black Mage is changing a lot,\u201d Yoshida says, \u201cso the play feel for some jobs might be very different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-futures-rewritten-ultimate-raid-ranjit-thancred.jpg\" class=\"gallery\"><span class=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404726 size-full\" title=\"ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-futures-rewritten-ultimate-raid-ranjit-thancred\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pcgamesn\/2024\/09\/ff14-patch-7-1-crossroads-futures-rewritten-ultimate-raid-ranjit-thancred.jpg\" alt=\"FF14 7.1 patch details PLL 83 - An image from the new Futures Rewritten ultimate raid, which appears to be a fusion of Ran'jit and Thancred.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The team is working on an \u201cextensive update to PvP action execution and hit detection,\u201d which should hopefully improve situations where certain skills felt particularly underwhelming (or, conversely, too powerful) due to the way they landed. The examples given are Machinist\u2019s limit break and Warrior\u2019s Primal Rend, with effects such as stuns now tied to when animations end, giving you a chance to react. Yoshida promises that these changes are in preparation for big updates to Frontline PvP coming in patch 7.2.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s one more thing we haven\u2019t covered, and it\u2019s probably something you weren\u2019t expecting \u2013 a Mahjong update for the Gold Saucer. That\u2019s right, in patch 7.1 you\u2019ll be able to spend MGP on special voice packs that will see the Scions cheering you on in your matches. \u201cSome of our voice actors are Mahjong experts, some had no idea what they were recording, so that was pretty fun,\u201d Yoshida concludes. \u201cI am most scared of Y\u2019shtola.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a wrap for today. It\u2019s going to be an agonizing wait for more, with the next details due in Live Letter 84 ahead of the arrival of FF14 patch 7.1 in November. <strong>The FF14 7.1 release date is expected to arrive on Tuesday November 12, but we\u2019ll get official confirmation with the next Producer Live Letter.<\/strong> You can watch the full livestream below, although note that it\u2019s entirely in Japanese.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"Hf79RkD_bG8\" data-embed-type=\"standard\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/Hf79RkD_bG8\/sddefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" height=\"309\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As always, huge thanks to Miuna and Iluna Minori on the official FFXIV discord for their live translation of the event \u2013 you can join <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/ffxiv\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">right here<\/a> (invite link opens in a new window).<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, we\u2019ve got even more of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/new-mmos\">new MMOs<\/a> for you to take a look through.
