Patch 5.35 Main Content:
  • The Bozjan Southern Front
  • Resistance Weapon Upgrades
  • Skysteel Tool Upgrades
  • Additional Housing - 3 Wards and Subdivisions in All Areas

The Bozjan Southern Front - very quick intro:

Focus only on story quests OR take on extra challenges - the decision is yours!

  • Battle Objectives:
    • Do battle with the IVth Imperial Legion to raise your "Mettle"
    • With sufficient "Mettle", raise your Resistance Rank to help the front line push foward
    • Storm Castrum Lacus Litore!
  • Raise your "Mettle" through 2 methods:
    • Skirmishes (basically FATES, you can run around the map and join in on these)
    • Critical Engagements  (Big raid-like events, with limited participants)
      • Battle initiates after meeting special conditions
      • Only a limited number of players can participate (ranges from 24-48 player)
      • Awards greater Mettle & Rewards than Skirmishes

During the recent Live Letter from the Producer, we were treated to an early peak at what's to come in the next major content patch 5.4 "Futures Rewritten.  With the Shadowbringers story brought to its conclusion in 5.3, we're all very intrigued to see where the story goes next, and this major patch is the start of that new chapter.  The events that take place in patch 5.4, will be the beginning of the story arc that will lead up to the next major expansion - very exciting!  Not only will 5.4 bring new story content, but we actually got a fairly chunky preview of some of the other content making its way to us.  We won't have too long to wait either, as FF14 producer Yoshi-P also confirmed that we can expect to see 5.4 Futures Rewritten in "early December".

The "Mogstation Store" has had a completely new make-over!  Now simply called "Final Fantasy XIV Online Store", what do you all think of the new look & feel?  Our personal experience is that the new store is much more user-friendly, easy to navigate, clearer, easier to find things and much more obvious to newcomers to the game.  We particularly love the new categories & filters, as well as the fact you can browse the store without needing to log in anymore!  It's also much more compatible with mobile phones, which Officer Syl is gonna love hehe!  Head over to visit the new store by clicking this link, and why not share your thoughts & experiences with the new design & functionality in our Discord!

Here's a summary of the key changes to the store:

  • You can now view the item pages without logging in to your Square Enix account first
  • Categories have been reorganised to make it easier to find what you are looking for
  • Filters have been added to help you browse
  • When viewing on a smartphone, the layout is optimised for easier navigation
