As a non-player, the trailer for Final Fantasy 14’s Patch 6.2, Buried Memory, is indistinguishable from each different patch trailer. There’s monumental boss monsters, a number of varieties of void, an incongruous cat creature, Death perhaps… Where it differs is that there are additionally just a few glimpses of the Island Sanctuary, FFXIV’s new solo farming content material.

Watch it beneath forward of the newly introduced launch date: August twenty third.

If it is farming you need, producer Naoki Yoshida confirmed the Island Sanctuary in-game for the primary time throughout yesterday’s Letter From The Producer livestream. It begins round the 2h 15m mark within the archive.

Your island sanctuary is designed as stress-free, solo content material, the place gamers can collect assets, develop crops, assemble numerous amenities, and lift animals. You seemingly have a crew of minions to hold out among the be just right for you, however you will be planting and watering crops your self. You do not want any prior crafting or gathering expertise to play it, however to my eyes it appears to be like unlikely to make converts of anybody who is not already taking part in FFXIV. Not that it must, given how fashionable the MMO is.

The Island Sanctuary is not the one new addition coming in patch 6.2, which can even add new story quetss, a brand new 8-player raid, updates to PvP, a brand new dungeon and much more. The Island Sanctuary is the standout, however you’ll be able to examine all of the adjustments on the 6.2 website.

(If you are questioning, the incongruous cat is outwardly Cait Sith, and primarily based on Cat-sìth from Scottish folklore.)
