FFXIV PLL #74 Recap - 6.3 Live Letter Part 1

Hello everyone! Welcome to the recap of Patch 6.3 live letter part 1.

This is our first time trying out a recap, so feel free to give us some feedback on ways we can improve, etc.

Video recap can be viewed here: 

Live translations of the next PLL can be viewed on HurricaneChiela's twitch channel.

On Friday November 12th, part one of the 6.3 live letter was held, revealing new information about what’s in store for us.

This is the 74th live letter, and also the 10 year anniversary of the 1.0 servers shutting down. For part 1, they mentioned they will introduce a lot of content and then go into greater detail in part 2. From the following, Yoshi P will be involved in approving and finalizing a lot of content for 6.3, so much more is in store for us in part 2.

Patch 6.3’s name is “Gods Revel, Lands Tremble” and will be released in early January 2023.

01.jpg

Content to come in 6.3
New Main Scenario Quests
From the screenshots, Zero will be heavily involved in the next patch. Alphinaud and Alisaie will come back after a long break.

02.jpg

03.jpg

Tataru’s Grand Endeavor 
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Hancock and Tataru together, Yoshi P was wondering aloud where the story will take us.

04.jpg

Tales of Newfound Adventure
Yoshi P mentioned there are probably some players who haven’t done this, and if you haven’t tried it yet you should check it out because the story is very good.

05.jpg

Somehow further Hildibrand 
Continues in 6.35 with a new cute friend. The dev team spent a long time making sure to get the balance right between the head and eyes.

06.jpg

Manderville Weapons 
Also continuing in 6.35. They teased this screenshot and again were wondering aloud what this has to do with the relic quest.

07.jpg

New Tribal Quests 6.35 - The Loporrits for Crafters
Yoshi P tried to get viewers to guess what might be the next tribal quest, and many successfully guessed Loporrits. There’s going to be a lot of fun stuff that happens with them, so definitely go and check it out.

New Dungeon - Lapis Manalis as part of the MSQ
Yoshi P mentioned that there’s a lot of depth to this place from a lore standpoint, but they don’t want to say too much about it. The Japanese name includes “snow mountain” in it, which fits with the screenshots being shown.

08.jpg

09.jpg

There’s a lot that’s going to happen with the 13th, and they’re teasing that the story will continue forward there. “I don’t want to spoil it, so I’m not going to say anything!”

New trials - Normal and Extreme
It was mentioned in previous patches, but one thing they love is the sense of surprise they can give Warriors of Light when seeing new content for the first time, and so they want to preserve that surprise even if the MSQ hints at the direction it might take. As such, they are keeping the next trial’s content a secret for now.

New Unreal Trial - Containment Bay P1T6 (Unreal), Sophia
There are quite a few mechanics in Sophia, and they wanted to clean it up for this and make sure it fits the modern day of gameplay while preserving the original experience of the fight.

New Alliance Raid - Myths of the Realm 2 - “Euphrosyne”
Yoshi P mentioned that it’s also hard for him to pronounce the name of the new alliance raid. And again they’re trying to tease us about which gods will come around this time, they don’t want to reveal it yet.

They showed a couple of screenshots, one with Graha and a strange device on his back. Some chat members joked that it looks like a slot machine. 

10.jpg

11.jpg

Yoshi P mentioned that they will start working on adjustments for the alliance raid from next week.

For the second screenshot, many jokes were made that it looks like the Windows XP default background.

Ultimate Duty #5
Releasing 2 weeks after 6.3 - end of January
Currently they’re keeping all details a secret, with more to come in part 2, and if it’s okay for him to zone into the fight he will.

13.jpg

Players were trying to figure out when the next ultimate would happen, and Yoshi P mentioned that there were rumors about it releasing in 6.5, but they’re on schedule for it to release 6.3. It’s a tight schedule of course and they felt it would be tough for them but they made their deadline.

14.jpg

New Deep Dungeon 3. Eureka Orthos - Coming in 6.35

15.jpg

The dev team released Palace of the Dead in Heavensward and Heaven on High in Stormblood, and then decided to skip over making a new one for Shadowbringers. However, they didn’t realize just how much the community loved deep dungeon as much as they do, so they decided to add a new one.

They also mentioned that they’re aware of just how many players are challenging deep dungeon solo, and that there’s many who have soloed both deep dungeons on all jobs! Lovely shoutout to the deep dungeon community.

  • EO is unlocked by completing MSQ “Endwalker” and floor 50 of Palace of the Dead
  • Players with a job at level 81 or higher can enter.
  • Start from level 81 in the dungeon.
  • Rules and functionality are generally identical to prior DD’s but some new features will be included.

Duty support for level 60 Heavensward MSQ dungeons

  • This includes a redesign for The Aetherochemical Research Facility.
  • Adding in more and more duty support, with plans to add it for all dungeons in HW.

Job Adjustments (PvE/PvP)
Paladin rotation will be completely changed in 6.3, but otherwise not much in the way of large PvE changes. They asked for a bit more time before revealing what exactly those changes will look like as they’re still adjusting them. Expect more updates in the part 2 live letter.

PvP Adjustments
There will be some job adjustments in PvP, and changes for content like Rival Wings, so look forward to more information in the part 2 live letter.

  • Series 3 will begin
  • Season 5 begins
  • New CC arena

16.jpg

17.jpg

There was a lot of feedback from players that the Cloud map was the least popular and highly disliked by players. As such, they’ve decided to put it in the map rotation less frequently, but the exact rotation hasn’t been decided yet.

Crafting and Gathering Updates
Tool Enhancement Quests
Coming in 6.35. There’s going to be an interesting story involved with this one, so definitely don’t miss it.

18.jpg

New Custom Deliveries
Not much information on this one but they’re sure no one can guess who will involved in this questline.

19.jpg

Misc. crafting and gathering updates

  • Collectability values will be displayed when gathering collectables
  • Additions to the fish guide
  • New spearfishing area will be added to Upper La Noscea, the first to allow diving from the ARR regions

20.jpg

21.jpg

Island Sanctuary Updates

  • New sanctuary ranks and visions
  • New item rewards
  • New materials crops animals and handicrafts
  • New structures
  • Improvements to the workshop interface
  • Option to collect yields/leavings at once
  • Animals under care will be eligible for release when a new animal is captured
  • Save orchestrion settings
  • Visitors will now hear the islekeep’s orchestrion
  • Notifications when visitors arrive at your island

23.jpg

24.jpg

25.jpg

They’re also planning to add further updates in 6.4, such as placing outdoor furniture. Yoshi P asked for a bit more time for them to work on that before implementing it.

New Treasure Hunt Dungeon
The Shifting Gymnasion Agonon 
Accessible via a new Elpis-centric treasure map, which can only be accessed in the Elpis zone.

Gold Saucer Update
New course added for leap of faith. Yoshi P expressed a bit of uncertainty how this will work with the game’s updated collision system, so they may need to make some changes before implementing it.

Housing

  • Additional wards for all residential areas
  • 6 new wards and subdivisions
  • 1800 new plots per world
  • Planned for sale by lottery

UI Updates

  • Icons for damage type in the battle log and flying text
  • Buff/Debuff timers in party list

28.jpg

Misc Updates

  • A new UI theme which they can’t show today but will preview later.
  • Portraits will now display when using DF
  • 24 person content will only show your party member portraits
  • Expansion of actions available while using fashion accessories
  • Cast glamours and dye retainer equipment while using fashion accessories
  • Ability to cast glamours on your own equipment directly from retainers inventory
  • Ability to filter newly added items at sundry splendors vendors

      The beloved Moogle Treasure Trove event makes its return in February! Hunt for Phantasmagoria and get your Paissa Earring, Inferno Jacket, and more!
      While we wait for patch 7.2 End of March, you will have plenty of activities to do with the New Moogle Treasure Trove Event!
      The Moogle Treasure Trove: Hunt for Phantasmagoria, will start on Wednesday, 26 February 2025 at 8:00 GMT (19:00 AEDT), and end at the release of Patch 7.2 scheduled for End-March.
      Please note that dates and times are subject to change, and it may take up to 10 minutes after the stated time for the event to commence in-game. This event may also be suspended without warning.
      During the event, you will be able to collect Phantasmagoria Tomestones by completing specific duties and activities, and exchange them for rare and exclusive items, such as:
      The Paissa Earring Shadow Gwiber Mount The Inferno Jacket Magicked Bed Mount Hairstyles Emotes other various mounts minions and much more
      This event is a great opportunity for all players to enjoy various content and activities you usually do not dedicate too much time to.
      During the event, you will have access to your Mogpendium:

      The Mogpendium has all the details needed for collecting Tomestones. Instead of merely having several types of dungeons to farm, you will have multiple ways to obtain the Phantasmagoria Tomestones:
      Standard Objectives: this is the regular way of earning Tomestones. Simply complete the required duties (which will feature a moogle icon in the duty finder) Additionally, you can now also get tomestones from GATEs (the Gold Saucer events) and Ocean Fishing routes. However, keep in mind that Tomestones are not rewarded when using adventurer squadrons or duty support, as the Level Sync option must be used for unrestricted parties. You will also need to score at least 1200 points when ocean fishing to earn Tomestones. Weekly Objectives: Weekly objectives will be assigned to each player, and updated every Tuesday at 8:00am (GMT). You can check your weekly objectives through the Mogpendium, and completing them will earn you additional Tomestones. Minimog Challenges: You will have to select one of two objectives, which can only be fulfilled once every week. It's a way to complete a variety of challenges during the event that you wouldn't normally do. Minimog challenges will also reset on Tuesday at 08:00 am (GMT). Ultimog Challenges: These challenges can only be completed once during the duration of the event. They will give you a significant amount of tomestones, so it is worth trying your luck! You can check the Mogpendium at any given time during the event. Standard Objective rewards are automatically added to your inventory when you complete the duties, while the Weekly, Minimog and Ultimog Challenges will have to be claimed through the Mogpendium.
      Once you have enough Tomestones, head to the usual Itinerant Moogle to exchange them for rewards! You can find one near the main Crystal in each of the starting cities: Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks, New Gridania, and Ul’dah Steps of Nald.

      For more information, and the complete list of rewards you can obtain, visit the Official Moogle Treasure Trove Page.
      Moreover, should you need some help with your hunts, check out our Moogle Treasure Trove Event Guide, where you can find specific routes or duties to farm, as well as the most efficient ways to do so!
