Final Fantasy 14 Online announced that the next major update is set on December 8. Patch 5.4 or “Futures Rewritten” will bring a new chapter to an already critically-acclaimed story. This new update will offer robust changes along with new content for players.
That’s not all. New players still have the chance to enjoy an expanded free trial. The trial now comes with content from A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward expansions.
Players can expect New Main Scenario Quests, featuring Scions as they make their return to the Source. There’s also the New Raid Dungeon: Eden’s Promise. This is the third chapter of an eight-player raid series that follows the story of Ryne and Gaia, her mysterious counterpart. Players will get new challenging battles and a new boss. The new boss is designed by none other than Tetsuya Nomura, Final Fantasy series veteran and Kingdom Hearts director.
