Dearest adventurers,
Matsui here, with a little bit of information on what the version update scheduled for April 5 has in store. There are two major elements I’d like to introduce to you: Ambuscade and mounts.
  • Ambuscade
    Ambuscade is a new type of battle content in which the enemies within change every version update. Given that the entrance to Ambuscade is via Mhaura, it should be a breeze for any adventurer to find their way there. The item required for entry will not be consumed even if the battle is lost, so we expect that it should be relatively easy to participate.

    In addition, Ambuscade has a variety of difficulty levels, so everyone from seasoned veterans to those just starting out should find one that matches their needs. Those wishing to tackle the strongest foes are advised to select “Very Difficult” and be prepared for a valiant struggle!

    Even if you’re not the type to try battle content at its most challenging, you’ll be able to eventually earn the rewards from Ambuscade if you keep working at it, making the content truly accessible for all.
  • Mounts
    Ever get tired of riding your faithful chocobo around and wish you could traverse the world on something completely different? In the April version update, you’ll be able to do just that with a new mount system! The initial quest will provide you with your very own raptor mount, and we plan to introduce further mounts through version updates, campaigns, and perhaps other activities as well.
In addition to the above additions, you’ll be able to synchronize alter ego emotes to your own, enjoy a more convenient way to participate in Voidwatch, try your hand against domain invasion NMs more frequently with decreased respawn times, and store even more goods in a second Mog Wardrobe.

More detailed information about the April version update can be found in the table below. Bear in mind that some of these items are still undergoing testing, so last-minute issues may prevent some of them from making the update.
