FINAL FANTASY XV Collaboration Returns for a Limited Time Until October 18th, 2021.
SQUARE ENIX today debuted a new trailer showcasing new and updated job actions, as well as new information for the highly anticipated fourth expansion pack, FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker, scheduled for release on November 23, 2021.
During the latest Letter from the Producer’s LIVE broadcast, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida detailed various adjustments planned for each job at the release of Endwalker, new information on general battle-related adjustments, as well as an introduction to the all-new sage and reaper jobs.
Further details revealed for Endwalker during the Livestream include:
Job Adjustments – Building upon changes implemented in Shadowbringers, Endwalker will bring new gameplay experiences for Disciples of War and Magic jobs. Updates include significant changes to Summoner job mechanics, the addition of single target buffs for all healer jobs, timing-based effects added to some tank defensive cooldowns, and much more.
Duty Reward Adjustments – Trials on both Normal and Extreme difficulties, which provide weapons as a reward, will now drop a weapon coffer alongside one of the available weapon rewards, allowing players to more easily obtain weapons of their choosing.
System-related Updates – Various quality of life updates such as enhanced HUD customization, improved ground targeting functionality, and UI updates will be added.
Adjustments to HQ Items – To help reduce overall inventory bloat and preventing unintended procurement of HQ items, certain items such as gathered items, enemy drops, and token exchange materials will no longer be available as high-quality items. Gatherer actions, quests, and achievements related to HQ items will undergo adjustments accordingly; however, crafted items and equipment will remain available as both normal- and high-quality.
Post-Release Patch Update – Due to the urgent need to address server congestion, the Data Center Travel system is scheduled for implementation after Patch 6.0
Players can also look forward to upcoming in-game content and new Endwalker information in the months leading up to launch on November 23rd, 2021:

Players who have reached level 50 and completed the main scenario quest “The Ultimate Weapon” can participate to earn numerous rewards, including Noctis’ hairstyle and outfit, the four-player Regalia Type-G mount, and more.

FINAL FANTASY XIV x DRAGON QUEST X Collaboration Event – The wonderful world of DRAGON QUEST X returns to Eorzea from October 19th through November 11th, 2021 with the “Breaking Brick Mountains” collaboration event.
