Patch 6.57 forFinal Fantasy 14was released on February 13, and Square Enix shared itsofficial patch notesacross social media. Though it’s not considered alargeFinal Fantasy 14content update, it comes with a few significant changes worthy of mention: the cap for Allagan Tomestones of Comedy has been doubled, the weekly loot restriction on Anabaseios (Savage) has been lifted, and Thaleia has joined the Alliance Roulette in the Duty Finder.
Another important aspect of Patch 6.57 is that it preparesFinal Fantasy 14for its Xbox launch, as the open beta for both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will begin on February 21. A convenient benefit that Xbox players will possess is the ability to skip typing their login credentials: simply connecting their Xbox andFinal Fantasy 14accounts will allow them to directly enter the game. Unfortunately, a Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate subscription will be required to playFinal Fantasy 14on Microsoft’s console, a restriction that PlayStation doesn’t impose on its users.
Whereas newcomers have the Main Scenario Quests to dive into, veterans can dedicate themselves tohousing inFinal Fantasy 14, as the end of an expansion is often the best time to win the lottery. Furthermore, there is always profit to be made in Treasure Maps, and with the doubled cap on Tomestones, increased rewards for completing Wondrous Tails, and removing loot restrictions in Anabaseios, gearing up alt jobs forDawntrailhas never been easier.
