Final Fantasy 14 prepares major reveal for next Dawntrail update
Square Enix schedules crucial Live Letter broadcast to showcase upcoming content for the MMO expansion.
Square Enix has set the stage for the 85th Letter from the Producer LIVE broadcast, focusing on Final Fantasy 14’s upcoming content update. The presentation marks the first detailed look at Patch 7.2 for the Dawntrail expansion, though viewers should note the broadcast will feature Japanese audio without live translation.
The showcase follows the recent release of Patch 7.16, which wrapped up the Dawntrail Role Quest storyline and introduced PvP balance changes. With the conclusion of the 7.1 update cycle, players are eagerly anticipating the next major content drop.
The broadcast will include slides with both English and Japanese text, making the presentation accessible to the global player base despite the language considerations. Square Enix has confirmed this will be the first of two Live Letters dedicated to exploring Patch 7.2’s contents.
Final Fantasy 14 unveils anticipated content roadmap
- February 7 at 3 AM PST
The upcoming presentation is expected to showcase several key features, including a preview of new Main Scenario Quests with their accompanying dungeon and trial. Players can anticipate details about the Arcadion raid’s second phase and significant changes to the Frontlines PvP system. The update may also introduce additional Custom Deliveries, Allied Society quests, and continue the Hildibrand adventure that began in Patch 7.15.
Community speculation centers around the potential reveal of the Dawntrail Relic weapon questline, the new Cosmic Exploration content, and details about the Shades’ Triangle field operation. These features have been highly anticipated by the player base since the expansion’s launch.
While the broadcast will cover extensive ground, certain content remains scheduled for future updates. The next chapter of the Final Fantasy 11 collaboration raid is slated for Patch 7.3, while the new Beastmaster limited job is expected to arrive with Patch 7.4. The presentation will primarily focus on screenshots rather than extensive gameplay footage, with more in-depth demonstrations reserved for the subsequent Live Letter.
