You can also categorise your house so that somebody browsing through the list of estates in a certain ward can see if, for example, you offer shopping or an immersive, RP-style experience. Housing has received an update, with more furniture now available to purchase, as well as mannequins for displaying and selling armor/glamour sets. Anniversary celebrations have been added for those who’ve undertaken a Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, and Grand Companies have been updated with an additional rank, while FCs can build more submarine parts. Stormblood treasure maps can now take players to the Shifting Altars of Uznair, a roulette-style realm where instead of picking doors you’re pit against monsters decided by the spin of a wheel. That’s not the only the only surprise in store for players, however.Īll of the above comes with the usual smattering of smaller updates. Sadly, it isn’t just O9, the first stage, stems from a previous game in the series. I know many speculated that Alphascape would be FF7 themed (following on from Deltascape and Sigmascape, which were FF5 and FF6 themed respectively), including me. You can kick things off by speaking to Jessie in Rhalgr’s Reach. Now it’s finally time to take the fight to Omega itself. Way back at the start of this year, we saw things end on a cliffhanger, with most of our allies incapacitated or worse. On the subject of more difficult fights - and what a lot of us have been waiting for - the final chapter of the Omega raid series is here. Beating the fight and completing the quest will unlock the much more difficult extreme version, as well as a humming emote Once you’ve heard the music, you’ll know why. Head down to Tamamizu and pick up The Fire Bird Down Below to kick things off. The fight itself is absolutely gorgeous, and like Byakko before it, there’s some really cool, never-seen-before mechanics even on normal mode. This time, it’s a very angry phoenix, and she’s not very happy to see any would-be benefactors. You’re summoned back to the Reisen Temple in the Ruby Sea to quell the rage of yet another auspice. Meanwhile, the Four Lords series returns with Suzaku. You can make your way back there with a quest, The Secret of the Ooze, that kicks off in Rhalgr’s Reach. If you have a degree of morbol induced PTSD, look away now, because St Mocianne’s Arboretum is back with a hard-mode variant. Handily, that scorched wasteland is also the first dungeon of the patch. Thancred brings news from Garlemald, spurring the Scions to head to The Burn, where players took control of Alphinaud at the end of 4.3. Warriors of Light can continue their journey in the Rising Stones in Mor Dhona by speaking to Alisaie.

What has arguably been touted the most ahead of this patch is the continuation of the Main Scenario, which promises to set the stage for the next expansion.
