Final Fantasy XIV Reveals Details To Upcoming 6.2 Patch

Square Enix revealed new details of what will be coming to Final Fantasy XIV when they release the 6.2 Patch this August. During the latest Letter From The Producer livestream on Twitch, Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida shared details of the patch, which will be called "Buried Memory". For the first time you will be able to build your own personal island sanctuary during what is essentially solo content. Harkening to familiar farming titles, you'll gather materials, build facilities, care for creatures, and more, without previous crafting or gathering experience. He also teased more about Patch 6.18 which will be released on July 5th, which will add the long-awaited Data Center Travel feature. You can read more below and check out the full notes here.

• New "Variant Dungeons" Battle Content – Previously called "Criterion Dungeons," players can enjoy this new variable-difficulty dungeon content—beginning with Sil'dihn Subterrane—designed for between 1-4 players, with the difficulty of enemies scaling depending on party size. Dungeons will feature branching routes, which change depending on player action within the dungeon.
• Another Path: Criterion Dungeons – High difficulty four-player content, which features a visually similar area to the Variant Dungeons, but will have a set route. The Criterion Dungeon content will feature two options of varying difficulties, each with their own unique set of rules and characteristics.
