Thread: FINAL FANTASY XIV Patch 7.4 Trailer - Into the Mist

7.4 looks really good ngl. Looking forward to it!

The level of optimism feels a bit exaggerated right now, the copium has risen by three levels.
Some people genuinely believe a music collaboration alone is going to fix the overall state of FFXIV? Music is subjective, of course, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with rock but to me it doesn’t really give the Final Fantasy atmosphere, and sometimes it feels more like attending a concert than playing an MMORPG.

Each year, FFXIV seems to lean more into commercial-style collaborations, and that shift has changed the tone of the game for me. Whether these decisions come from Square Enix or the leadership team, it’s clear the game sold out and the direction has evolved a lot from what the game used to focus on. In an old interview when the old director for FFXI & FFXIV Tanaka transitioned to another company, he mentioned that the “heart” of the game had changed and that foresight has become a reality.

This patch was made for me and me exclusively. My eardrums are not ready,

Same! With the glamour unlock, my dresser is going to be bursting at the seams again!

And I need that orchestrion!

Looks like it'll be a great patch. I'm curious to learn what those destroyed cityscapes are. Very visually striking.

There was a quirk in the English trailer where G'raha does not speak while he does in the other languages.

There's now speculation he's been recast in English as Jonathan Bailey's been kind of busy.
