FFXIV PLL #75 Recap - 6.3 Live Letter Part 2

Hello everyone! Welcome to the recap of Patch 6.3 live letter part 2.

Video recap can be viewed here:

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

On Friday December 23rd, part two of the 6.3 live letter was held, revealing new information about what’s in store for us.

Yoshi P starts the PLL by mentioning how tight it was for them to deliver patch 6.3 on schedule. Many difficulties for the dev team to overcome in delivering this patch. They talk about quickly selling out tickets for the Eorzean symphony, and while it was difficult to manage in the current climate they were glad to be able to have it.

Patch 6.3’s name is “Gods Revel, Lands Tremble” and will be released on January 10th.

2 Ulti tease.png

  • Release two weeks after patch 6.3
  • Players must first complete Abyssos the eighth circle savage

Deep Dungeon 3 - Eureka Orthos

  • Must complete the MSQ “Endwalker” and progress to floor 50 of palace of the dead
  • If you’ve done any palace of the dead you will understand what kind of content this is
  • The bosses coming in Eureka will be much more like regular bosses compared to in Heaven on High - maybe this means more mechanics?

Island Sanctuary Updates

  • New ways to sort through the UI to figure out what's best to queue in the workshop
  • Can view factors like popularity and supply while setting agenda

7 Island UI.png

Treasure hunt update

  • New dungeon only appears in Elpis.

Housing update 

  • additional 6 regular wards and 6 subdivisions per world - available for purchase via the lottery system. In newer servers with houses still available currently, the wards will not be added just yet. Look for the lodestone post to come to see which will be available to private buyers and free companies

UI improvements

  • Icons for damage type in battle log and flying text. Up until patch 6.3 there is a lot of content, and they want to make sure to get all of this info up to date with this information - please let them know if they miss anything or make an error!
  • Display remaining time for buffs / debuffs in the party list

Miscellaneous Updates

  • Alternative UI theme Clear Blue

15 clear blue UI.png

  • Portraits will now display when using the duty finder - alliance raids will show your 8 person party only. Don’t forget to set it so that you’re not the only one with the default portrait!
  • Expansion of activities available while using fashion accessories. Some parts of it will be customized - certain parts may be able to be turned on or off. More emotes will be able to be used and potentially usable while mounted.
  • Ability to automatically open an umbrella when rain is detected. They wanted to represent the feeling similar to real life - if it’s raining you pull out your umbrella
  • Ability to collectively entrust duplicates of stackable items to your retainer
  • Export from portraits editor to adventurer plate and vice versa

 

Job Adjustments

General adjustments

  • There will be adjustments to usability for certain actions - this will be explained when the patch releases

Paladin

  • Significant adjustments extending to action rotations.
  • For everyone who mains Paladin, the rotation has changed a lot - they apologize.
  • Adjustment Objectives:
    • Improve ability to deal burst damage, because of PLD's reliance on DoT damage, they don’t have as much burst - they will try to damage over time into burst damage.
    • Paladin's defensive abilities compared to other tanks are quite difficult to use, so they are trying to alleviate some of that difficulty.

Main adjustments (not all of them just the biggest ones):

  • Rotation has been shortened to accommodate high powered actions.
  • Damage over time effects for Goring Blade and Blade of Valor was removed and their potency was adjusted.
  • Divine Might is now applied after weaponskill combos, allowing an enhanced holy spirit to be executed once without casting.
  • Holy Shelltron’s effect has been changed to reduce damage taken, enhancing defensive capabilities against DoT.
  • Previously removed bulwark ability has been revamped and reintroduced, offering increased defensive capability.
  • This is just a general overview as they are continuing to work on Paladin and will be until the patch releases.

 

PvP
Demonstrates the new CC arena, showing teleporting doors. There are environmental effects reminiscent of Eden’s promise 1 tiles.

Alliance Raid - Euphrosyne
After entering, Yoshi P shows off fields of yellow under blue skies and clouds.

We follow G’raha Tia through the fields. They marvel at the environment changing, and question what G’raha is doing with his strange instrument.

They feel that the development team has been doing a great job recently. The work that has been done is particularly impressive. Many of the environments and designs are going to be unique to what we’ve seen so far in xiv. People seemed to have a lot of fun with the first alliance raid, they look forward to expanding on the lore and there are many new mechanics to show off in the new fights! Yoshi P mentions the third fight in particular is his favorite.

New Treasure Dungeon - The Shifting Gymnasium Agonon
Yoshi P shows off some gameplay in the new treasure map dungeon, working in a similar way to the shifting altars from previous expansions. Yoshi P runs through the typical emotions as the roulette kicks him out of the dungeon.

New Leap of Faith course
A pretty jumping course in the treetops. Be careful or you will fall! Collect the medals in the same way as in previous iterations. Yoshi P struggles through the course and marvels at how well some players do at these courses.

Deep Dungeon 3 - Eureka Orthos

38 DD3.png
Deep dungeon Overview - What is deep dungeon?

  • Must be level 81 or above to enter
  • Entry for 1-4 players no role restrictions, difficulty unaffected by party size
  • To unlock, accept quest from “Koh Rabntah” in Mor Dhona to unlock, with the addition of this quest previous quests associated with Koh Rabntah will be removed.
  • Going in looks the same as with previous Deep dungeons, with the familiar two save files.
  • Yoshida talks through some of the basics and fights a few monsters, explaining features like aetherpool, pomanders, traps.
  • Because of the randomization, it's a different challenge every time you enter

39 DD3.png

Yoshi P briefly fights the floor 10 boss, an allagan-looking Korrigan, with various mechanics related to parts of the floor.

41 DD3 boss.png

Yoshi P showcases a new pomander, dreadnought, a transformation pomander with 2 abilities, one similar to the "rage" pomander in PotD (one shots enemies and knocks them back) and the other similar to the "lust" pomander (applies a stacking debuff on enemies). 

42 DD3 Dreadnaught.png

He also used EO's replacement for magicite: a Demiclone that follows and helps the player fight enemies on the current floor. It disappears after the player moves to the next floor.

43 DD3 Demiclone.png

 

New items available in 6.3

New short hair style will be available, most likely from EO.

New mounts. A new gold saucer mount and what seemed to be expensive gilded mounts, perhaps purchasable for a large sum of gil.

New way to transfer items between retainer and inventory

Yoshi P shows the new UI interactions with retainers, including selecting all types of items you want to mass transfer onto the retainer - for stackable items only at the moment. He further explained the loading bar was required while communication between the client and database occurred.

      Final Fantasy XIV Dungeons always come with a specific set of gear, and Yuweyawata is no different. Here is a look at all the various equipment you can get from this new dungeon:
