Final Fantasy XIV Online Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida revealed a new trailer for Patch 7.1 “Crossroads,” the first major update following the release of the latest expansion Dawntrail, alongside the release date of November 12, 2024.

During the broadcast, Yoshida showcased “Echoes of Vana'diel,” the highly anticipated crossover alliance raid series with FINAL FANTASY XI, the first MMORPG from SQUARE ENIX®. The first raid in the series, “Jeuno: The First Walk,” will be implemented in Patch 7.1, bringing the worlds of both iconic MMORPGs together in 24-player battle content as adventurers journey into the world of Vana'diel. Yoshida also looked at the upcoming “Ultimate” difficulty 8-player raid (coming in Patch 7.11), first “Chaotic” difficulty 24-player battle content (arriving one week after Patch 7.15), updates to PvP content, Hall of Novice tutorials, and more.

The Patch 7.1 series will feature new content, updates and more, including:

• New Main Scenario Quests – Crossroads. Though the spectacle of Living Memory and its threat to the star have been laid to rest, the shade of remembrance lingers both within and without the dome. As the Warrior of Light and their companions seek to help the people of two worlds move forward, they find that some secrets of the past must be unearthed...
• New Dungeon – Yuweyawata Field Station. Some time past, in the northern region of what is now Heritage Found, a peaceful Tonawawtan village was beset by a tural vidraal. Zoraal Ja himself led the Landsguard against the beast’s boundless fury─yet although the First Promise returned from the mission, few know the fate of the village and its people...
• New 24-Player Alliance Raid – Echoes of Vana’diel - Jeuno: The First Walk. A pall of unease has settled over Yak T'el, and memories of a world not our own now find themselves buried in the woods. The Warrior of Light has set off to investigate, but what secrets will they unearth beneath those shaded boughs?
• New Trial – The Minstrel’s Ballad: Sphene's Burden. The faux commander has a yen for a tale from his native Far East, which prompts you to recall the unbridled ferocity of Byakko. As your clash with the mighty auspice plays out anew in your mind's eye, will you succeed in lifting the dark cloud that shrouds his heart, or will you be overcome by his heavenly gales?
• New Unreal Trial – The Jade Stoa (Unreal): Face off against Byakko, one of the Four Lords, at level 100
• Chaotic Alliance Raid– The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic): A new 24-player, high-difficulty raid arriving one week after Patch 7.15. In the boundless dark dwells a voracious voidsent sovereign who sought to invade the material realm and render all to naught─the Cloud of Darkness. The first and last emperor of Allag, Xande, once forged a covenant with this queen of the void in his lust for power, but with Unei and Doga's noble sacrifices, you were able to forestall her invasion. Yet if neither they nor an inheritor of the Royal Eye had fought by your side, would you have been able to repel the deluge of darkness? As you listen to the minstrel's impassioned song, you imagine the encounter anew...
• New Ultimate Raid– Futures Rewritten (Ultimate): Like a river, the future winds in boundless ways. A single ripple may alter the course of its flow─and as one ripple leads to another, myriad are the possibilities. So it is in this land, once blighted by the Flood of Light, where the resistance of many gave way to a morrow blessed by the night sky. If, similarly, the future wrought by two young women were but one of countless possibilities, what other forms could their morrow have taken? Fascinated by such visions, the wandering minstrel weaves a ballad of futures rewritten.
• New Allied Society Quests – Players will be able to participate in new allied society quests for the Pelupelu that are designed for battle classes and jobs
• A New Custom Delivery Client – Nitowikwe
• Additional Role & Wachumeqimeqi Quests – Players who have completed all Dawntrail role quests or all Wachumeqimeqi quests will be able to enjoy a finale to wrap-up their respective stories
• New Hildibrand Quest Series – Everyone’s favorite inspector returns for more antics in Dawntrail
• New Game+ Support for Patch 7.0 – Replay main scenario quests, job quests, and role quests
• Duty Support Additions – Support for the non-main scenario quest dungeon Halatali will be implemented, with further additions in the future
• Player Housing Update - The ability to select interior designs from different residential areas regardless of the location of the plot and new interior designs will be added
• Player Versus Player Update – Rework of multiple Crystalline Conflict maps, PvP action changes, and more
• Miscellaneous Updates – Additional updates for the Hall of the Novice with training for a wide range of different battle mechanics, NPC voiceovers added to Doman Mahjong, and more.
