FFXIV Patch 6.1
- Main Scenario Quest — Screenshots of Tataru and Estinien from previous Live Letter indicates their involvement. It will include a new four-player dungeon.
- Tataru’s Grand Endeavor sidequest series — Our favorite Lalafell, true leader of the Scions, is probably up to no good.
- New Role Quests — Once you’ve finished all of the existing Role Quests for Endwalker, a new set of quests will be available to bring all those threads together.
- The Endsinger’s Aria Extreme Trial — Get ready for an even harder version of Endwalker‘s final boss fight.
- Ultima’s Bane Unreal Trial — Relive the fight against Ultima Weapon, but with wild difficulty and new mechanics.
- Myths of the Realm Alliance Raid (part one) — This is the new 24-player raid series that will explore the lore of FFXIV‘s gods.
- Significant overhaul to dungeons and bosses in A Realm Reborn — Read up on how The Praetorium, Castrum Meridianum, Cape Westwind, and the final bosses of the base game are changing.
- Duty Support System (aka the Trust System) for A Realm Reborn 2.0 MSQ dungeons — Players will be able to run the story-based four-player dungeons in the base game with NPCs.
- Crystalline Conflict PVP mode — This new fast-paced PVP mode will be more focused and on a smaller scale. The Feast will also come to an end. Expect PVP Job changes as well.
- Adventurer Plates — Previously referred to as the calling cards, these will let you customize a profile for your character and set one for each Job you want.
- The Unending Codex — This will function as a sort of encyclopedia and glossary for characters, terms, events that players can use as reference.
- Hrothgar and Viera hairstyles — These were not shown in the previous Live Letter and we expect to see them in this next one.
- Glamour Plate expansion — Players will get five extra Glamour Plate slots (from 15 to 20) and be able to use them in many more safe zones.
FFXIV Patch 6.11

- Ameliance’s Custom Deliveries (Patch 6.15) — Crafters and gatherers of the world, Mrs. Leveilleur has work for us. Thank the Twelve.
- Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures (Patch 6.15) — Our boy Hildibrand Manderville is back for more wild nonsense baby!!
FFXIV Patch 6.18
- Data Center Travel (Patch 6.18) — Players will be able to visit other Data Centers within their region to link up with other players. Restrictions apply.
- Omega: Beyond the Rift quests (Patch 6.1x) — Those who have finished Endwalker and the Omega raid series from Stormblood will be treated to a new questline that’ll further help tie those story threads.
A Live Letter from earlier this year also outlined things happening in the game for the rest of this 6.x patch cycle — catch up on everything we know about FFXIV Patch 6.2 and Patch 6.3 / 6.4 / 6.5. We even got a preview of the graphics overhaul coming to FFXIV 7.0.
