Patch 7.0 Notes

Preliminary patch notes are up

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...0ef648e989722d

Didn't even realize MNK/DRG LB3 move your position.

It's honestly kind of criminal it was allowed to remain that way as long as it was.

Thank you ^o^

Glancing over them saddened to see yet another short hairstyle added...we are getting Derplanders hair but then the hairstyle from the competition is another short one. Please for fs can they just add some better more feminine longer hair like braids like long ponytails.

The last really long hair was in Shb which was so long go now. I really hope I am wrong and there is more in there. This is the least excited I have been for any expac since I began playing in March 2010.

I feel I have no clue what my character will look like until I get in the game because I am on PS5 and only played around on a old laptop with the benchmark. I have bought the CE for early access but tbh I am feeling less and less excited and usually I would be. Lets hope I am wrong and they add some long hair.

From things we didn't already hear about, I like the shortcut change, the button to hide the chat window, and 30(!) alarms

The MNK LB would give me Wile-E Coyote-styled deaths in E3S more regularly than it should have. u_u Farewell you bastard of a feature but I'll also miss how hilarious you were.

The word filter only having ten slots to work with is absolutely baffling. Hopefully we don't have to wait years for that to be expanded.

The word filter will be very nice to block all political messages in shout for later this year

Finally i can click on the quest npc without pressing X

Doubt it's gonna be nearly enough to properly filter out all the venue spammers, sadly.

Would be nice if they made it bannable if they start purposefully adding weird symbols to words like "ward" to bypass people's filters.

Along with Venue and parse (and Lala). lol

Add GP not resetting to 0, mouse working on W cross hotbar, text commands working during cutscenes, and character creation combat voice lines to the "how did it take this long to add this" list.

I need that manatee minion...

It's definitely disappointing about the hairstyle. There were so many cool and interesting contest winners an they went with one of the generic kpop boyband ones.


This one is long and pretty, and would have worked really well with the Tural aesthetic.

This is the hairstyle I was looking forward to the most because it's very similar to the one I had on my character back in Aion lol

What a shame.

As well as heckin’ and hecking

Lots of welcome QoL adjustments but gameplay/content-wise I was hoping for more systems to change things up a bit. This is a very minimalist update for an “expansion.”

ShB introduced shared FATEs and the DoH/DoL scrip delivery quest system for leveling. The side quest level sync and role quest structure were new features in ShB as to how the game worked as well. Endwalker innovated even less, with off the top of my head, the special level-scaling job gear at 89-90 being the only new thing. Dawntrail doesn't seem to be contributing in terms of new gameplay/content types at launch.

And I agree the ten-word limit on the filter is woefully inadequate. Needs to be more like 100 at the minimum.

The requirements to register for Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids have been changed.

Players must meet the highest item level requirements among the alliance raids they can enter at their current class or job level at the time of registration.

---

I think this means they are finally taking into account which raids people can enter based on their MSQ and raid quest progress, which is great for people who are still going through the story. Veterans with everything unlocked will still be unable to item level cheese.

Of ALL hairstyle entries that won the contest they choose the most boring one that looks like some of the other short styles we have already... At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if the curled styles get to be the last ones in the priority list.

Nooooo that is so beautiful and would have fit in so nice with Dawntail theme. I really hope there are some hidden and we will be pleasantly suprised. Thank you for posting this It is really lovely and deserves a place in the game.

There's hope lol. Sometimes they don't list a style or another. Plus people who datamine the game often find hairstyles and items that are in the game files but only make it a patch later or so.

Meowdy, ny'all~!

im really ceriouse why dragoons spinedive is being replaced by a non jump lol i mean i dont overly like dragoons myself but thats some pure bs lol

i can tell you 100% no dragoon main or any other player asked for that bs

looks like they've officially dropped "tribe" quests,

can't say I like "Allied Society" but they really weren't even tribes anymore

Do they have any curly hair option for males (hyur)? I didn't try the benchmark so I'm not sure what all they have changed but currently they only have one curly hair option, and it is a curly hair mohawk (literally never seen a curly hair mohawk lol).

I am devastated at "High Level Roulette."

I was wanting to be playing, 10 years from now, and doing 50/60/70/80/90/100/110/120/130 Roulette with my kids, and that dream has been snatched away.

Am I reading the patch notes correctly? The graphics update has been applied for 7.0, and the zones of 2.0, but others are coming in future updates. I could have sworn we saw examples of the Shadowbringers zones in the graphics update. Or is that armor and NPCs, etc that will continue to follow in future updates and the zones have had new textures/lighting applied?

Yes, they showed Shadogwbringer zones, but they had said that the zones that they showed are not finished.

They Notes say:

"The following fashion accessories have been converted into facewear:
False Oval Spectacles
False Shaded Spectacles
False Classic Spectacles
Rose-colored Spectacles
Players will now acquire facewear in place of the aforementioned fashion accessories.

The fashion accessories listed above will no longer appear in the Fashion Accessories window. However, players who acquired them prior to Patch 7.0 may obtain corresponding facewear free of charge by speaking with the Calamity salvagers located in Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, and Ul'dah.

It should also be noted that the items used to acquire these fashion accessories have not been removed from the game. If one is in your inventory or obtained via trading or the market board, it can be used to obtain corresponding facewear."

Looking it up I can't find how to obtain the False Oval Spectacles, no mention other then just Oval Spectacles.

Maybe it'll be a new item added in 7.0.

Still a maybe, tho.
It is kinda sus how it sais "listed above", as if that item is already in the game.
So it might just as well be a missprint on SE's part, listed an item that simply doesn't exist.

I believe it’s NPCs and gear and likely housing items that aren’t fully done and will be done patch to patch… you can see in the character creator that the ARR zones have texture upgrades and so did shadowbringers zones in a live letter along with Endwalker so I think it’s gear or NPCs… we shall see :)

This feels kind of anemic in terms of new systems. Other than the graphics update -- which I hope lives up to the hype -- what is going to make me feel like this is 7.0 and not 6.6 in terms of gameplay out in the world? It does kind of feel like we're getting less and less each expansion, which is frustrating.

I believe they might have meant the fashion accessory "False Spectacles". They are kind of oval in shape and the only other glasses accessory available at the moment beyond the Shaded, Classic and Rose-colored Spectacles.

Finally the rest of the Twelve portraits!

Alarm sounds can now be muted while in duties...finally!

Ty for the notes!
They should have added 1 long/ feminine hair or up-do and 1 short masculine hair
Not yet *another* short hair. And, it's not even a good hair at that. It's a k-pop hair
They should have added Yshtola's hair to Viera already if it was going to be a short hair

I just want a good feminine hairstyle. Nothing childish, nothing cutesy, no more shoulder length, no stupid 1-hero bang. Give us long hairs again, please. We have 2, Lyse's & the flat hair
