A good while has now passed since the monumental Dawntrail release, and the Final Fantasy 14 community is looking to the future as Square Enix unveils patch 7.1 - an enormous update featuring tons of content while tying some of the expansion story's loose ends. This article contains light story spoilers for Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail.
Patch 7.1, aptly dubbed "Crossroads," is set to drop sometime this November - and boy, is it a biggie. From brand-new Hildebrand adventures to Main Scenario Quests, fans can expect to receive plenty of fresh story content this fall - including much-needed context for characters like Zoraal Ja, whose past and relationship with his father will finally come to light.
While young Gulool Ja is settling into his role, it seems Wuk Lamat is taking a back seat this time. She isn't featured on Crossorads' cover art, after all - instead, none other than the fan-favorite Bakool Ja Ja surprisingly is. It's unclear how he will fall into the patch just yet, however.
He isn't the most exciting character on the poster, either - Prishe, a beloved figure from Square's older MMO Final Fantasy 11, stands beside him in the image. She's likely to play a central part in Echoes of Vana'diel, the upcoming series of 24-man raids. Alongside the first Echoes raid, Jeuno: The First Walk, an older Alliance Raid returns as part of a far more difficult tier - Chaotic.
The Cloud of Darkness, a boss from Final Fantasy 14's introductory raid series, takes players on in the game'.
