New Video Teases Final Fantasy XIV Patch 4.1

A brand new video detailing the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV patch 4.1 has just been released. In it, we get brief glimpses of the upcoming raids, dungeons, and even some looks at Ivalice, the world known from Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics. You can find the trailer below:

Patch 4.1, titled The Legend Returns, is the first major update to Stormblood and will continue the game’s main quest line. More from Square Enix:

Adventurers will also be able to challenge a fearsome new Shinryu trial—The Minstrel’s Ballad: Shinryu’s Domain—and tackle the even more demanding “Ultimate” battle series with the debut of The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate). The Legend Returns will also mark the beginning of the highly anticipated “Return to Ivalice” alliance raid series, which will take players to the ruins of the city of Rabanastre. During the recent Letter from the Producer LIVE broadcast, Yoshida revealed the artwork and in-game model of the “Return to Ivalice” monster designed by special guest creator Keita Amemiya – the creator of the Garo television and film series, from which the Patch 3.5 PvP gear, weapons, and mount designs originated.

Also revealed in a live stream earlier this week were a look at new in-game areas and additional details on some of the content to be included when the patch hits on October 10:

Adventurer Squadrons – Players can explore a number of dungeons with a party of three squadron members, issuing commands to their companions to help lead them to victory.

New Housing Area “Shirogane” – Whether players are looking to purchase their first estate, or they are a current estate owner planning to utilize the new relocation feature, adventurers are eagerly looking forward to moving into this new Far Eastern themed housing area.

New PvP Mode – Rival Wings – Two teams of 24 players will go head to head in this new PvP mode, in which they will attempt to assault and destroy the opposing team’s tower. Players will also be able to pilot goblin creations such as Oppressor and Cruise Chaser to engage the opposing team in fierce combat.

Battle Adjustments – Yoshida touched on a sampling of changes and adjustments to job actions and spells.

System Enhancements – Introduction of a cross-world Friends list and /tell communication, updates to HUD customization, job gauge displays, cross-world alliances and custom PvP matches, and Party Finder adjustments provide players with an even more personalized gameplay experience.

“Perform” – Bards can now create their own songs through new hotbar actions that play musical notes.

Final Fantasy XIV‘s 4.1 patch, The Legend Returns, launches on October 10.
