The item level required for patch content is IL 625 for both the final trial and the Thaleia alliance raid.

Gear gender unlocks

Armoire and glamour dresser
Items from the Online Store can now go in the armoire
Can directly apply glamours from the armoire interface
Left/right buttons added to move between categories in various menus, and they will work with the L1/R1 buttons on controller.
Affects: Glamour dresser, materia melding, materia creation, repairs, dyeing, glamours, desynthesis, armoire
(A welcome bit of news if it works how I hope it will work - the glamour dresser has several places where controller navigation is poor, and L1/R1 controls will help.)

Teleporting
Teleport fees from the Thirteenth's Moon have been adjusted - for science, I will try to remember to check the current fees if I get up to it when replaying the 6.X quests with my alt.
Teleport destination tabs can be sorted by expansion instead of region

Display names
Job and class icons can be set against names with various customisation settings
Access this via Character Configuration - Display Name Settings - General

Stormblood expansion added to base game/free trial
Players with only ARR registered will have Stormblood added automatically
Free trial has access to Stormblood and level 70 level cap
Free trial does NOT have access to Ultimate raids

World transfer
If a server is congested, world travel requests will be automatically cancelled.
Estimated travel time will now be displayed when travelling between data centres.
Players may be prevented from logging into congested worlds other than their own, and will need to use the "return to Home World" subcommand on the character selection screen and try again there.

No free trial legends, this is devastating.

thanks for posting them

I sense a pvp drought coming, next season will start with 7.0 and that is still a really long time away.

I wonder if they will fill the game with other content to prevent people from getting burned out from the game, so far it looks very bleak.

[Supersnow845]

I’m both happy and weirded out with the changes they made to the alliance roulette

Firstly the fact that they also added ilvls to all levels in a good change I’m happy they did

However the fact that they didn’t add a MSQ qualifier to it means that people are going to quickly outlevel the ability to queue for the roulette which is a strange choice

[Syln]

No ultimate is really petty from them, i'm surprised by that choice.

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I think they specifically did not include ultimate raids to prevent more abuse of account selling by botters.

Still waiting for Windcaller for Hrothgar… :hopium:

R.I.P. Mist Dragon in The Burn, the last few remaining boss fights that are tied to MSQ & still have some bites left.

[MAJRIS]

Still no chocobo shoes.

Do the devs even read their own forums? /S


The 570 ilvl sync is long overdue. Good change.

[Doppelotter]

The lack of MSQ qualifier on the alliance raid roulette concerns me. It's really easy to become over leveled just going through the game, and it's going to lock that roulette for a ton of players early.

I hope the new Triple Triad opponents includes one for the Gancanagh card.
