343iBot Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 The next update for the Square Enix MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV comes in the form of patch 5.3, subtitled Reflections in Crystal. It has been detailed by director/producer Naoki Yoshida and community manager Toshio Murouchi in the latest Letter From The Producer livestream, and like most FFXIV updates, it's going to be huge. The upcoming patch includes the anticipated major overhaul for the base game A Realm Reborn, new main quests that continue the FFXIV's story, new boss fights, and the next chapter in the Nier Automata crossover raid series YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse. This next wave of main story quests will conclude the Shadowbringers expansion's narrative arc and will have heavy story implications (as hinted by the revealed screenshots). A new instanced four-player dungeon, called The Heroes' Gauntlet, will be included--it will work with the Trust system, which lets you run it alongside NPCs from the story as AI companions to fill the necessary roles. There's going to be another trial boss fight tied to the main story as well, but it wasn't revealed as to not spoil the surprise.
