Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVIII Update Thread

[Bayohne]

Patch 4.1, The Legend Returns, is scheduled to release in early October!

The patch titles will offer hints into what is going to happen to Doma and Ala Mhigo in the 4.x series.
We’ll go over more in the Letter from the Producer LIVE scheduled for mid-September!

New Trial
In an article it was reported that the Extreme version of the trial would contain mechanics from the normal mode; however, this was a minor misunderstanding. In actuality, we included mechanics that was originally planned for the Extreme version into the normal mode.

Shinryu - The Royal Menagerie (Extreme) (The Minstrel's Ballad: ???)
This time, we would like those who were able to clear Omega: Deltascape (Savage) v2.0, but struggling with v3.0, to challenge this. You can imagine something like the Minstrel's Ballad: Thordan's Reign.

New Sidequests
A new chapter in the Hildibrand series will begin. This time around, it will be like a preview episode. Additionally, we will introduce the Kojin beast tribe quests. We tried some different things, so please look forward to it!

The rewards are also little bit different when compared to before. We’re planning to discuss these in the next Letter from the Produce LIVE.

New PvP Content - Rival Wings
In this PvP content players will be separated into two teams of 24--the Ravens and the Falcons. Players will be able to ride goblin mechs and do battle. Riding them will grant access to specific actions. There are very strong machina as well, so if you ride them, you’ll be able to use powerful actions, which can be used to turn the tide of battle. We would like players to enjoy this new content after completing the newest main scenario, so we’re planning to release this around Patch 4.15.

Battle System-related
We’ll continue to make job-related adjustments.
The Crystal Tower will be adjusted so it can be challenged with 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS like the other alliance raids.

The Lost Canals of Uznair Update
While exploring the Lost Canals of Uznair, players will have a chance to obtain a new map. After exiting the canals, decipher the map to delve deeper into the submerged chambers. There players will be challenged to put their greed to the test, for example, it’ll ask if you would like to double down and such. We’re aiming to make it so it can be played casually with everyone.

Adventurer Squadron Updates
We’re introducing dungeon exploration for the adventurer squadron. We’ll add more dungeons that can be challenged in future updates. Players are strong, so please help support your squadron members through these challenges! There is also a Limit Break specifically for the adventurer squadrons. We’re also increasing the level cap for the squadron members, and glamour is unlocked once they reach level 51.

Housing Updates
Sorry for the wait! It’s finally calming down, so we’ll begin the sale of plots in Shirogane along with Patch 4.1 release. Therefore, we won’t open the servers before the scheduled Patch 4.1 maintenance time (please keep this in mind)!

Players will be able to swim in all the residential areas. For Limsa Lominsa there’s a beach, so not much has changed there. Shirogane was built with swimming in mind from the beginning.

We will be making changes to the maps for the Goblet and Lavender Beds. The Goblet will have a roman-style pool; imagine a pool that nobles might play in. For the Lavender Beds, we imaged a stream in the woods. We would like to introduce them in the next Letter from the Producer LIVE, covering part 2 of Patch 4.1.
