Following October’s Final Fantasy XIV 5.1 update, which reworked crafting and brought the first Nier alliance raid, Square Enix has now unveiled details of what’s to come in the MMORPG’s next patch, 5.2 – Echoes of a Fallen Star. The new patch is now officially set to land today, February 18 – scroll on down for a look at the new trailer.
Final Fantasy XIV patch 5.2 marks the next update to the game’s third major expansion, Shadowbringers, which arrived earlier in 2019. Chief among its all-new content are new scenario quests, which will set us toward a conclusion of the Shadowbringers story path. They’ll follow the Warrior of Darkness and Scions of the Seventh Dawn’s efforts to uncover and unravel the secrets of The First.
The FF14 5.2 patch also adds new series of equipment enhancement quests, which will give you the chance to grab some powerful gear as you discover more about the Bozja Citadel – the Hrothgar homeland. This series of quests will continue to be updated going forward, starting with patch 5.2.
