Final Fantasy XIV Online Revals What's Coming In Patch 6.4

We have a better idea of what's coming in the next two patches for Final Fantasy XIV Online with the latest reveal from Square Enix.


Square Enix revealed new details this week for the next two patches coming to Final Fantasy XIV Online, as a good chunk of content is on the way. The patch is being called The Dark Throne, and with it and the subsequent Patch 6.45, players will be heading into stranger and more menacing territory with the primary storyline. The game will add new main scenario quests, a new raid dungeon, and a new trial, as well as introduce Crystalline Conflict and Frontline PvP updates. There will also be several Island Sanctuary updates, including the ability to place outdoor furnishings to give your abode a little more spark. Plus, an overview of the next Variant and Criterion dungeons on the way. We got the dev notes and an introduction video below outlining what's to come, as the first piece of this content will drop on May 23rd.
