FFXIV producer Yoshi P reveals change of strategy for 6.x story patches Square-EnixFinal Fantasy XIV producer Yoshi-P has dropped some rather exciting bombshells when it comes to the future of FFXIV\u2019s 6.x story updates. Naoki Yoshida, or as he\u2019s affectionately known in the Final Fantasy XIV community; Yoshi-P, has been interviewed by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu where he provided some rather surprising news regarding the game\u2019s post-Endwalker content. As translated by Reddit user MKillerby, according to Yoshi P, the current story being told in Final Fantasy XIV, which started in update 6.0, will end after patch 6.5. This means the whole arc will run through the entirety of 6.x, only concluding when that does. Typically, every expansion in FFXIV tells a story that builds to a crescendo and concludes in the patch x.3 of any given numbered update. For example, update 5.0 started a story that concluded by update 5.3, with 5.4 building to a new story that would hint towards the next expansion. This time, however, the story will run through until 6.5, allowing 7.0 to start a new chapter of Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s overarching narrative. FFXIV 6.2 Buried Memory story direction It\u2019s confusing for non-players or those new to the celebrated MMO, but for those who\u2019ve played the game for a while, or since Endwalker, it\u2019s sure to be exciting. The game\u2019s next update, Buried Memory is only patch 6.2, meaning there\u2019s a lot more story content to come in this arc. Fans of Final Fantasy IV will be especially excited, as the MMO has been leaning into concepts and characters from that entry since its Endwalker expansion, and according to Yoshi P, there\u2019s more coming. In the Famitsu interview, Yoshi teases that we\u2019ll see the weakest of the four fiends from FFIV \u2013 which suggests the more powerful next three won\u2019t be far behind. We\u2019re not 100% sure who the weakest of the fiends is at this stage, but our money is on Scarmaglione showing up as the big bad of update 6.2 Buried Memory. The only question is, will the Black Knight help the Heroes of Light or hinder them in their new quest? We\u2019ll likely learn more during the Letter from the Producer event for Final Fantasy XIV Buried Memory on Friday, 12 August 2022.
