Patch 7.4 Into the Mist (December 16th, 2025)

because this community leans gay as fuck and projecting i believe is the long and short of it

[Madeline]

but also cute dragon lesbian fantasies go hard so

7.41 will drop this Tuesday, it includes the next relic step, the next Cosmic Exploration planet, and I think the next chunk of Hildibrand quests

lolBST

The next relic step is "paste farming". Looks like a variety of different Dawntrail content will drop the paste, like FATEs, Pilgrim's Traverse, CE in Occult Crescent, Arcadion Heavyweight Raids (including Savage), Doomtrain EX, and Expert/Level Cap/Leveling Roulettes.

Ugh, always throws me off that events don't go until the reset.

Never understood why they have a weird cutoff time.

Nina Yndis, who voiced Benedikta/Garuda in FF16, confirmed she is the VA for Halmarut

[Lucavi]

She did work in 16. Good on her.

Little Ladies Day event is going to be IDOL themed with Idol shirts and glowstick emotes and music rewards. The name of the event quest is “What Can Eye Do For You”. I think we really might be getting an unofficial FFX-2 inspired event lol

Did one run of the new variant dungeon before I had to leave for work. I got the genie boss who was a complete pain in the ass, and the mermaid boss that was much much much easier, fun mechanics on that one though. Got 14 paste for the relic weapon step. So since most people are gonna be running this at least 12 times for the full clear, not a bad choice for paste farming.

[Gokulo]

Oh, that's cool

[Anoat]

The swordsmen boss was kind of a bitch to learn, had to remember the old Mustadio SHOW HIM YOUR HOLE memes

Dataminers found a new version of Cloud’s bike mount and a Red XIII minion so there’s some debate over whether they are fan fest exclusives or if this means 8.0 is going to be based on FFVII.

Beastmaster preview in the live letter tomorrow. The one screenshot they posted looks very similar to the FF11 BST AF, so that’s neat.

The final FFXI alliance raid is Windurst. Bastok always being forever snubbed!

[brozy]

Its called Lastok for a reason.

If this is the case I'm not too surprised. Gotta break out the big pieces to get the money in now hahaha

And I suppose it'll clash in neatly with remake part 3 coming in next (?) year.

Yoshi P revealed during the live letter there will be a collaboration event between XIV’s gold saucer and the gold saucer of the VII Remake trilogy so looking now like this is what it could be

Finally got around to finishing the secret boss of Merchant’s Tale, pretty chaotic and fun having to pay attention to his instant kill move. Sadly I did not go 1/1 on the triple triad card so I will have to kill this thing a few more times. Hopefully we get to see more of Y’shtola’s other sisters in future stuff now that they have confirmed there are 12 of them.
