Final Fantasy XIV’s Patch 6.1 Trailer Revels In Its Newfound Adventure

Final Fantasy XIV’s Patch 6.1: Endwalker is only two weeks away. Square Enix showed the trailer in today’s Letter from the ProducerLive presentation. 

Titled “Newfound Adventure,” the footage shown from the new quests, raids, and other content is refreshingly adventurous, especially after spending an entire expansion on saving the world and more from threats that have been building since the outset of Final Fantasy XIV in 2010. It’s nice to have some fun now that all of those concerns are gone. 

The trailer above shows off Tatatru enjoying her downtime and reveals she’s been keeping an eye on her fellow Scions, who are all doing well in their various endeavors since the events of Endwalker wrapped. New dungeons, bosses, and cutscenes are teased throughout, giving just enough of a look at the new content and story to leave an FFXIV fan like me practically begging to see more. Was that Y’shtola who casually mentions trying to find ways to travel to other shards (alternate dimensions of sorts) of The Source? This scheme is sure to be successful.

A new Main Scenario Questline will kick-off in 6.1, along with a side quest dedicated to the Scion’s fixer Tataru herself. The first Alliance Raid for the expansion, Myths of the Realm, Part 1: Aglaia, will pit the Etheryan heroes against a pantheon of gods. A new dungeon will be added, as well as a PVP mode that is more challenging than before. The complete list can be found here. It really is a meaty addition of content that will likely set the stage for the future narrative of the game.

Final Fantasy XIV – Endwalker’s 6.1 Patch and “Newfound Adventure” are available April 12, 2012 on PC, 5 and 4.
