Final fantasy XIV PAtch 5.2 echoes of a Fallen Star FFXIV Patch 5.2

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.2 Trailer Gives a Brand New Look at Echoes of a Fallen Star, New Character by Tetsuya Nomura

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.2 Echoes of a Fallen Star is coming February 18, continuing to expand the massive story of the Shadowbringers expansion and bringing with it a wealth of new quests, the second chapter of the Eden raid, a fresh dungeon, and the ability for players to challenge the Ruby Weapon, a classic Final Fantasy boss. It will also feature the ability to fish out on the open ocean (because what’s an RPG without fishing?) and a few additional quests coming in later patches (5.21 and 5.25).

Patch 5.2 will introduce an all-new character, Gaia, created by Tetsuya Nomura himself. She’ll be a part of the Eden’s Verse Raid, continuing the saga of the first part that was introduced in Shadowbringers. Of course, what’s a big content update without a number of tweaks and additions to the game itself? Patch 5.2 will also include adjustments to Jobs, PvP Actions, and New Game+, in addition to a few other updates to in-game systems. The full patch notes should be released closer to February 18 and will give a much more in-depth look at what exactly is changing.

And here’s a breakdown of what’s coming in Patch 5.2:

Shadowbringers has been a critically acclaimed expansion to Final Fantasy XIV that some have called the best Final Fantasy story to date. It won a number of nominations and awards in our Game of the Year 2019 awards, and we absolutely adored it in our review, particularly the way that it made the MMO more playable as a solo player.

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.2 releases on February 18 as a free update for Shadowbringers players. If you have yet to purchase Final Fantasy XIV or Shadowbringers, you can get the full bundle on Amazon for only $50, including the base game and every expansion so far. Need to renew your timecards? Those are also available.
