Recommended Posts

Final Fantasy 16, the latest installment in the popular RPG series from Square Enix, has just received a free update that adds new features and improvements to the game.

Producer Naoki Yoshida, also known for Final Fantasy 14, has confirmed that two paid DLC expansions and a PC port are in development.

Here is everything important to know about the announcements:

The latest update, patch 1.10, is available to download now on PS5. It adds alternate outfits for characters such as Clive, Jill, and Torgal. Players can change their costumes from the main menu.

The update also adds the option to change the appearance of Clive’s sword without affecting its stats or performance. Additionally, players can choose from different sword skins, including the Onion Sword, which is a homage to the Onion Knight of classic Final Fantasy games. It will be redeemable for every player through the gift redeem system in the menu.

The update also makes some gameplay adjustments based on player feedback. For example, it reduces the cooldown time for Eikonic abilities after a successful parry, making them easier to use in combat. In addition, it also improves the aerial combos against smaller enemies, and adds cooldown details to each ability description.

Check out the patch note details on the official Twitter thread.

Additionally, according to Yoshida, the development team has started to work on two installments of paid DLCs for Final Fantasy 16. The DLCs will expand on the story and world of Valisthea, and allow players to spend more time with its inhabitants. 

Yoshida said that he received many requests from fans who wanted to see more of Valisthea’s lore and history, as well as interact with more characters and locations.

The details of the DLCs are still under wraps, but Yoshida promised that they will be revealed later this year. He also hinted that they will feature new gameplay elements and challenges for players to enjoy, and said that he hopes that the DLCs will satisfy both new and veteran fans of the series.

You can check out Yoshida’s announcement on Twitter.

The update is free for all players who own Final Fantasy 16 on PS5, and can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store or from the game’s main menu. The DLCs will be sold separately as digital downloads, and will require the base game to play.

Prices and release dates of the DLCs are yet to be announced.

The PC port of Final Fantasy 16 is also in development, and will be released sometime in 2024. Yoshida said that he wanted to bring the game to PC players who have been asking for it since its launch. He also said that he would share more information about the PC port soon.

So grab your Onion Sword and new items, and stay tuned for future adventures in Valisthéa!

      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!
