The latest chapter for Final Fantasy XIV has arrived courtesy of Patch 6.1. The Newfound Adventure is the first major content released after the Endwalker.
The new patch introduces a new story for the Warrior of Light and adds a wide range of new content. Players can also look forward to enhancements that support an approachable solo-play experience. Changes include adjustments to some of the low-level main scenario duties. There is also the new Duty Support System which gives players the ability to finish four-player main scenario dungeons and trials from A Realm Reborn (2.0) alongside a party of NPCs. This Duty Support System is set to be expanded in future updates to support Patch 2.x content and Heavensward expansion pack content and beyond.
There are indeed a lot of changes that players can enjoy and you can read more about them here.
