Square Enix's special site for the 6.2 update has finally added details regarding the most important features coming to Final Fantasy 14. Along with a continuation of Final Fantasy 14's main story quest is a new dungeon, trial, island sanctuary area, and improvements to the Duty Support system.
Final Fantasy 14 is the second MMORPG in the beloved Final Fantasy franchise, appreciated by many players thanks to its engaging narrative that stands among the best of Final Fantasy's stories. The latest Endwalker expansion spectacularly concluded a story arc that has been building for over a decade, but the tale isn't over for the Warriors of Light as new plot threads are already being revealed through post-expansion patches. Each major patch since Endwalker has included new quests and content that explore the loose ends left over from the expansion, making it obvious that Square Enix still has a lot of left stories to tell.
The major 6.2 update, entitled Buried Memory, has been given a special site as is tradition with important Final Fantasy 14 updates. Buried Memory continues the story of the great sibling wyrms Azdaja and Vrtra as Vrtra has decided to journey into the 13th, the World of Darkness, alongside the Warrior of Light to find Vrtra's long-lost sister. A new dungeon, The Fell Court of Troia, marks the Warrior's first steps into the dark world where they will need to fight through the swarms of voidsent to continue their quest to find Azdaja.
The update will also add the highly anticipated Island Sanctuary for Final Fantasy 14 which will give players an Animal Crossing-like farming experience. Players will harvest resources to craft items and construct buildings for their personal sanctuary, complete with a home base where the player's collected minions can hang out. Players will also be able to invite friends and Free Company members to visit their sanctuaries similar to player housing. A new Unreal Trial, Containment Bay S1T7, will be coming with Update 6.2 to challenge the most powerful players in a rematch with Sephirot from the Warring Triad.
Five new duties are being added to the Duty Support system, allowing players to complete these A Realm Reborn and Heavensward dungeons with a party of NPC characters, and some trials have been reworked to be a little smoother. This means 6.2 will be a great opportunity for new players of Final Fantasy 14 to progress through the lengthy story and catch up to Endwalker content. Patch 6.2 is slated to release sometime in late August.
Final Fantasy 14 is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
