Final Fantasy 14 Version 7.0 Patch Notes Reveal Every Change Coming Alongside Dawntrail
Square Enix has released the preliminary patch notes for Final Fantasy 14’s highly anticipated Patch 7.0, which will arrive soon alongside the Dawntrail expansion.
Revealed on its website, the incredibly long patch notes outline everything changing in the massively multiplayer online game and, interestingly, what isn’t changing yet.
Square Enix said the new raid, the Arcadion, will arrive with Patch 7.01, while the Savage version and the Cenote Ja Ja Gural treasure hunt will arrive with Patch 7.05.
The update still adds plenty of new content, of course, including new areas, quests, quality-of-life improvement, a huge graphical upgrade, the Viper and Pictomancer jobs, plenty of raids and dungeons, and much more.
Square Enix categorized the list of changes by the different versions of Final Fantasy 14, noting players must own up to Stormblood to access the 2.X changes, Shadowbringers to access the 5.X changes, Endwalker to access the 6.X changes, and finally Dawntrail to purchase the 7.X changes. The full patch notes are available below.
Dawntrail launches into early access on June 28, 2024 at 2am Pacific / 5am Eastern / 10am UK, but releases fully on July 2, 2024. Patch 7.0 will presumably arrive sometime before the early access release, though Square Enix didn’t give any specific timings.
The developer has also asked players not to spoil things as the early access period launches. Only those who preorder can play early, but given the amount of content being added in Dawntrail, it will likely take most players a long time to get through it.
