Final Fantasy XIVhas been in message drouth soil latterly , with players exact the opportunity to level alt jobs and painstakingly make luxuriant portraits for each one — but all of that is about to change with while 7.2 . After a 24 - hour upkeep period on the 24th , the patch will launch on March 25 .
For concentrated content actor , the Savage variant of the new Arcadion : Cruiserweight Division tier up will release seven days after the initial plot of ground , give you one week to prep your gear . Naoki Yoshida and Toshi Murouchi showed off the first fight of the new tier in aLive Letter streamtoday , revealing a discotheque - dance male Viera named “ Dancing Green ” as the boss .
He looks so laughable that as the footage showed a Warrior of Light getting ready to take him on , Murouchi lamented how embarrassing it is for us to fight such a ridiculous knob with such a serious face . We ’re all quite used to facing idiotic bosses in FFXIV , though , of class . Interestingly , it look like the fight will have some form of musical rhythm game aspect to it , with Yoshida alluding to a perfection fillip and compare the music to a DDR ( Dance Dance Revolution ) cart track .
Alongside the usual tarradiddle and foray content , we ’re also getting update to PvP , the fresh Cosmic Exploration cognitive content , and the next Field Exploration series ( i.e. the newfangled Bozja ) .
Cosmic Exploration is a new type of side content for leveling crafter and gatherer at point 10 and above , amount in darn 7.21 on April 22 . The report of the content seems to be build bases on upstage planets , with the content begin on the moon in this patch and move on to Modern piazza in next updates . The chief gameplay cringle revolves around completing mission , earning credits , and getting payoff to expound the base . Nice QoL features include a separate armoury and a lasting sprint button .
It also face like you may vanish around in a giant mech suit , smashing crystals to amass resources . There are definitely a fair few similarities between this depicted object and the Firmament — it even has a new version of Kupo Fortune call Cosmic Fortune where you may deal “ Lunar Credits ” for prizes ( including a unexampled dye people of color ) .
The raw Field Exploration serial is come in in patch 7.25 ( come May 27 ) and it ’s promise Occult Crescent . You need to have completedDawntrailand have a Disciple of War or Magic at grade 100 to enter and it will be separate into different instances , each with up to 72 thespian . Much like the Bozja content fromShadowbringers , Occult Crescent has its own leveling system where you ’ll lose experience points each time you ’re disable ( unless you ’re revived by another player ) . There will also be a separate support Book of Job system called “ Phantom Jobs , ” which you could unlock and even up as you come along .
Critical Encounters are making a comeback too , hopefully with as many hardcore mechanics as the encounters in Bozja . When enough players gather at a Critical Encounter , you may form parties and take on the knob in a fourth dimension - limited battle . There ’s also a weapon system enhancement story tied to this mental object call “ The Phantom Weapon . ”
Two QoL upgrades that are also descend are the power to mobilise your mountain while moving and a new “ even up ” state that keeps your social movement speed up for longer after a sprint terminate . They might vocalise modest , but do n’t be fritter away — this is a big spate .
To recapitulation , here ’s a inclination of the chief content coming in the7.2 patches :
