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.

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.

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.

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

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

  • New item rewards
  • New materials crops animals and handicrafts

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

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

      The game will most likely be slightly different from your original version, however, it should contain everything you need from story, to mechanics and off-combat functionalities!
      Naoki Yoshida is also directing things for the mobile version, and it will be developed by LightSpeed Studio, which is part of Tencent.
      Recently, players have noticed a date appeared on the Chinese App Store: 29 August 2025:
      While it is unsure if this is the official release date in China, or only for the first playtests, this does indicate that things are moving forward. We should expect more information about the mobile game soon! Maybe some beta for a global release as well.

      The wait is finally over! Find out what the upcoming Beastmaster class is all about! From class abilities to special features, it is everything you ever wished for is available in our exclusive Beastmaster Guide!
      The wait is finally over! After years of speculation, wishful thinking, and countless forum talks, Square Enix has confirmed that Beastmaster will be the next job introduced in Final Fantasy XIV.
      A Job Like No Other
      Unlike any previous job, Beastmaster will introduce an exciting gameplay system that allows players to summon various beasts from across Eorzea.
      Much like the Blue Mage, Beastmaster will be classified as a Limited Job. This means that, while some traditional endgame content may remain inaccessible, Beastmasters will have unique gameplay opportunities that no other job can match.
      How Does Beastmaster Work?
      Beastmasters will wield a Whip as their primary weapon, allowing them to control, summon, and command beasts in combat. Beastmasters have a hybrid playstyle where they deal damage via both their own attacks and the attacks of their summoned beast(s). You will have to manage your own and your pets' actions.
      Customization and Progression
      One of the most exciting aspects of the Beastmaster job is its customization. Instead of a static ability kit, Beastmasters will unlock new abilities based on the beast you use. Each beast will have its own unique skills.
      Availability and Unlocking the Job
      According to the announcement, the Beastmaster job will be available to all players who have completed the Dawntrail MSQ. The job questline will begin in Gridania, where you will be introduced to a legendary animal tamer who will teach the ways of bonding with Eorzea's Beasts.
      The development team has promised more details in the next Live Letter, including footage of Beastmaster in action. With so many new mechanics at play, this could be one of the most unique job additions to date!
      You can get more details on the Beastmasters on our Beastmaster Guide Page!
      If you are reading this with growing excitement...
      As much as we would love to see Beastmaster in Final Fantasy XIV, this job remains a dream… for now. Happy April's Fool! Good luck with the raid tier, and be sure that we will be ready once Beastmaster really releases!
