Patch 6.5 patch notes

[Arrius]

Yoshida also commented about some topics during the downtime on a liveblog.

Summary/Highlights:

- There will be a branching cutscene path in the 6.5 main quest if you have completed the Shadowbringers Normal Raids.

- Though there are only 2 Mythology of the Realm quests, their contents are quite long.

- If there is a lot of feedback asking for it, the team could continue to update Island Sanctuary after 7.0

- Plans for major "Lifestyle"-type content in 7.0, similar to Island Sanctuary.

- There are plans underway in 7.0 to be able to change the interior of a house to remove the columns, or to change the size of the interior.

- For the 7.0 Unreals, it's possible that Endwalker level 90 fights could be updated for level 100.

- Yoshida says he thinks there will be a large number of jobs that will have new rotations and actions added in 7.0.

- Patch 6.51 will release in late October after London fanfest, 6.55 in mid-January.

Full patch notes are now up.

On a skim, I don't think there's much new besides the resolved and known issues lists, but I haven't really compared them.

I seriously need a log of changes because I think almost everything I have seen in the preliminary notes. What's even the point of releasing preliminary notes? Just release the full notes instead.

Mostly the same aside from minor PvE potency buffs, per usual.

(I'm joking before anyone comes at me, but I'd be lying if I said that this statement doesn't have me concerned)

While going through the patch notes and eventually coming across that image of the new mandragora mount I initially thought it was flying on a flowery fart cloud... lol

Not sure whether to be nervous or excited.

That’s cool, but I was thinking/hoping they might make those raids mandatory for the MSQ but I guess not…

Guess we’re not taking Eden to the 13th then… darn! lol

If SMN is any inkling of their design path? Terrified would be the correct answer

Naw, this is really good because it means there some acknowledgement for that elephant in the room and theyre putting some effort into it for both sides who didnt bother and for those that did.

Making it mandatory for MSQ is not the answer
