Each expansion of Final Fantasy XIV introduces a series of Trials, eight-man Duties that have the party face off against powerful bosses, and their Extreme difficulty versions drop rewards such as weapons, crafting materials, and mounts. During FFXIV Live Letter 78, director and producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida announced that a new reward can be earned by players who collect all of these mounts found in Endwalker.

That moment, when you suddenly realize: The business trip you planned months ago aligns with the launch of patch 6.45 and you will be out of town for the whole week.

Why? And how? Simply... how? You cannot even plan this even if you wanted to and knew the days ahead!

Well, seems will not suffer through log in queue this time and overcrowded spots on NPC spots. Always look on the bright side!

But, really, why?! It's always like this ...

You can now one-shot FFXIV’s oldest, scariest raid boss

Do you still play Final Fantasy XIV the way it was back when Bahamut was the main antagonist and eliminating him felt like you had single-handedly saved Eorzea? In the MMORPG, the legendary FFXIV boss can now be one-shot, but you'll need good luck to pull it off. Oh how the mighty have indeed fallen. I remember quivering in my little Monk boots gearing up and getting ready to take on Coils of Bahamut back in the day. It was touted as FFXIV’s hardest raid before it was eclipsed by the likes of Alexander and, in Endwalker, Pandæmonium. The raid is now a Level 50, meaning that a lot of longtime players can now take it on with relative ease – but I never imagined that you’d be able to casually one-shot the elder Primal himself. Looks like I was very, very wrong. Posting to the game’s official subreddit, u/ah0xg0 has managed to smite the creature down on their Blue Mage – using one of the job’s base abilities, no less. Hitting Bahamut with Final Sting, the spell goes critical and deals a whopping 1,432,960 damage, defeating the boss outright. Sure, they don’t live to see their triumph, but it’s right there in the screenshots, and it’s pretty impressive. With FFXIV patch 6.45 increasing the level cap for Blue Mage to 80, as well as adding a slew of new quests and new weapons, it’s a pretty good time to be one of these mysterious spellcasters. Sure, you might not be able to participate in all of the game’s content, but you can, in fact, one-shot Bahamut. I personally think that’s a worthwhile trade-off. I’ve always fancied trying out Blue Mage, but prefer bouncing around as my Ninja at the moment. Maybe I’ll take them for a spin ahead of FFXIV Dawntrail, the newly announced expansion that’s set for summer 2024. Until then, though, I’ll live vicariously through u/ah0xg0. Speaking of living vicariously, we have a rundown of the new FFXIV The Aetherfront Dungeon, which is perfect for testing out what the Blue Mage can do. If you prefer a life of silence and solitude, though, we have an FFXIV Island Sanctuary guide right here to help you farm away the hours. Read the full article

FFXIV Patch 6.4 Details Incoming as Live Letter 76 Date Announced

Square Enix, the game's creator, has revealed the date for the upcoming producer livestream, which will include information on FFXIV patch 6.4. Naoki Yoshida, the game director, and Toshio Murouchi, the community producer, present these regular broadcasts. They usually spend several hours discussing everything that will be included in the acclaimed MMORPG's next significant update. The game’s seventy-sixth “Letter from the Producer Live” will be focused primarily on FFXIV 6.4, the next big patch following on from FFXIV Endwalker, as the team builds towards its next full expansion. The team usually uses this first Live Letter for a new update to give an overview of all the major features and content that we can expect, while the following Live Letter goes more in-depth with gameplay demonstrations. As such, we don’t yet know everything coming in FFXIV patch 6.4 – but we do have some details. Firstly, Yoshi-P has previously said players can expect to see bigger updates to the FFXIV Island Sanctuary mode in 6.4, following a small round of additions in the previous patch. This should satisfy players who have already polished off all the aspects of the laid-back farming game side activity. We’d also expect to see plenty of the standard additions that come with a new FFXIV patch. This includes a continuation of the Main Scenario Quest, building ever more towards the FFXIV 7.0 story, and will likely feature at least one dungeon and trial along the way. The Pandaemonium raid series is set to reach its climax with a final four fights and their associated savage tiers. There’s also a good chance we’ll see another of the new Variant and Criterion Dungeons, FFXIV’s branching, repeatable story instances, along with new ways to enhance your Manderville weapons. It’s likely that these will arrive in patch 6.45, if they are included in the update, but they’ll still probably be mentioned during the livestream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4CALXaPcN0 FFXIV Live Letter 76 – when and how to watch FFXIV Live Letter 76 airs on March 31 at 4am PDT / 7am EDT / 12pm BST / 1pm CEST. Note that clocks in the UK and Europe will have moved to their respective summer times by then. You can watch the presentation on the official FFXIV YouTube and Twitch channels. Note that the presentation will take place in Japanese only, although the slides shown will feature both Japanese and English text, so you should be able to follow along. We’ll also be sure to bring you all the key details from the Live Letter as soon as possible, so check back right here on PCGamesN or follow our social channels for that. In the meantime, check out all the latest on current FFXIV patch 6.35, and read about the renegade FFXIV modders aiming to help make Eorzea more welcoming for everyone. We’ve also picked out more of the best single-player MMOs on PC, if you love shared-world elements but prefer to enjoy your gameplay solo. Read the full article
