Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, the latest expansion of Square Enix’s critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, has just received a monumental update in the form of Patch 6.2. This update brings a variety of new content for players to explore, including new quests, a raid, and the new Island Sanctuary, among other features.
Here are some of the major highlights you can expect in this update.
New and revamped quests
The storyline of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker continues with new Main Scenario Quests, venturing into a ruined world known as the Void in search of Azdaja, the long-lost sister of one of your allies, Vrtra. It looks to be a perilous adventure featuring a new dungeon called The Fell Court of Troia, including battles with horrifying creatures and a Trial to overcome a new foe.
There will also be new sidequests in the “Tataru’s Grand Endeavor” questline, where Tataru’s business ventures will take her to the lands of Ishgard and have players reunite with old friends from Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward.
In addition to new quests, Patch 6.2 also revised several old quests. For example, the Steps of Faith Trial/Main Scenario Quest has been removed. It is now a single-player-only instance battle and drastically altered compared to its original incarnation.

A Realm Reborn:Snowcloak, The Keeper of the Lake

The Island Sanctuary
After much anticipation, Final Fantasy XIV’s Island Sanctuary feature has finally been added to the game. This is a side activity reminiscent of farming life simulators like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. You can retreat to an island paradise, create your own farmland, and have all your minions frolic and run free in the gorgeous landscape.
