June Version Update Announcement

[Akihiko_Matsui]

Greetings, adventurers.
Matsui here.

The June version update is right around the corner, but I would like to share an early overview of what will be implemented.

Starting off, we’ll be adding high-tier battlefields for three avatars: Fenrir, Carbuncle, and Diabolos, so look forward to challenging enhanced versions of these familiar creatures once more.

New notorious monsters will be added to Wanted. With new and bigger foes to vanquish, now's a great time to get involved with Unity!

Several Seekers of Adoulin quests will also reach their conclusions this patch, and players will be able to enjoy a bevy of lore, battles, and rewards.

Furthermore, we’ll be implementing new aspects to fishing that are geared towards veteran anglers that possess the Ebisu Fishing Rod and Lu Shang’s Fishing Rod.
A duo of quests provide upgrades to these two special rods, complete with all-new visual effects. Take on the challenges and reap your just rewards!

Mog Gardens will also undergo changes as we unlock rank 5 for monster rearing, which will add new monsters and also increase the number of monsters you can simultaneously rear.

We’ll also be making job adjustments, adding new alter egos, implementing an emote for sitting on chairs, setting an NPC that will allow you to check what you’ve fished up, addressing the ranged weapon slot for the lockstyle feature, and much more!

I hope you are all looking forward to the June version update, which goes live on Thursday, June 25.

Below is a detailed list of features planned for the version update. Keep in mind that this list is still provisional, and any balancing or bug issues we discover during testing may require us to remove an item from the update.
