Final Fantasy XIV 5.4 Patch Notes
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
Even as someone who's caught up these patch lists always throw me off and make me feel like I'm missing half the content in the game, haha
I need to find the Bozjan front NPC for one thing to figure out what that even is, and finish up the Eden fights. And maybe start gathering/crafting?
also I like that the classic blue theme is coming but god does it not match the rest of the game (to be fair I think that UI aesthetic has looked bad in every game post-FFVII)

Bozja is a better working Eureka with a more boring looking map.
ohh I didn't much care for what little of Eureka I played (I just died a lot) but I'll definitely poke around it
also just remembered I need to do the ShB relic quests too
Getting a set is a lot faster now, since every fate gives you a coin.
Only if you finished Castrum once iirc. And a lot of people just stopped doing it, which is kind of a problem for those late to the party.
I've put maybe ten hours into XIV but that classic menu just did a number on me. If/when I go back, that bastard is getting turned on forever.
All FF menus should be in the classic blue. I cannot be convinced otherwise. A lack of classic menu option was straight up my biggest grievance with FFVIII on my most recent playthrough.
I know my priorities are dumb, but that color matters, dammit. I even painted my Regalia in XV the classic menu blue with white trim. I'm beyond saving.

I was waiting for this patch to finally come back for the first time since like May after finally catching up on everything. I hope that's not true.

I think they said they're not putting them in preliminary notes anymore, though some monk changes were already shown.
One of my favorite things with the game is that there's so much content for different types of players. Completionists have a lot to do, but if there's anything you don't find as fun, it's easy to ignore (unless it's the main questline!) and just focus on other things. It makes the patch notes long as hell, but there's a good chunk of it I just ignore because it's in areas that I don't enjoy (I'll never complete a relic weapon, too much grinding for my tastes)
Yo
You'll be able to wear x2 Augmented Ironworks/Shire/Scaevan rings now.
Eden and MSQ are gonna be awesome, but I'm actually maybe most curious from a lore perspective what's up with the new Warring Triad and ShB role quests, considering
Need to know what they're setting up here.

Unukalhai and Cyella are both from the 13th/World of Darkness.
Physick potency buff and they removed Energy Drain again, please be excited.
Yeah I like that a lot, though more and more raids seem to be getting tied into the main characters + plotline so they've become a bit more mandatory. Still, they're not too difficult even though I feel pressured to read up on them beforehand.
I do wish there was a character in each major hub that you could talk to for a run-down of where to find stuff with a brief description of what it entails. When I finally caught up with ShB I was just standing there after finishing the main quest line with choice paralysis.
Yeah Castrum is unfortunately completely dead since the coin drop hotfix and anyone still on the quest is fucked, no clue what they where thinking tbh i'm stuck myself and can't progress anymore i hope they fix this soon.
At the very least it'll pick back up when the next step gets close for 5.45.
The point of the hotfix was that people didn't like how much of a grind it was to get the gear AND the upgrades to it ... but apparently they forgot that CLL legit has SHIT drop rates for the augmentation upgrades and offers nothing else outside of coins and frags. So yeah, everyone stopped doing it even though it's the fastest way to get coins when it's up. All they would have to do is flat out increase the drop rate of the augmentation mats to a decent degree to get people to run it again.
But yeah ... I've got close to 900 coins and a few upgraded parts from CLL drops and I'm just gonna sit on em until we find out if you need the augmented sets later to get what I assume will be the glow role sets down the line. Haste is such a ... nothing buff that I fear they're gonna use the augmented sets as the path towards upgrading them with actual buffs for final part.
Just resubbed 2 days ago in atencipation for this patch. Really curious about in what direction the story will take from now on.
Honestly I was thinking about doing it myself...
Then I came to the conclusion I'd likely get the mount, use it like 2 times, and then probably never again.
I like having as many mounts as i can and just use the random button

Fortunately for you, the only mainline FF that's had the blue UI since VII was IX, and it wasn't even the default setting!
Coulda swore it showed up elsewhere, maybe I was misremembering FFX?
it looks real ugly in FFIX IMO tho

I think X's is pretty blue themed overall but maybe not as saturated as the XIV one lol.
Castrum really is quite easy, I think the biggest issue might be to get enough people for it I guess? though you don't even need a full team for it to clear it.
New gear looks cool! I like the tome, raid, and crafted gear this tier. Last tier I only really liked the crafted set so I'm pleased.
Interested in seeing the job changes too. I want to see the number changes on MNK and DRG, but at least it's only a few days away.

I'm still so curious what the Eden mount will be. Please give us an VIII mount. :(
Crossing my fingers on E11 being the one!

They don't post the job changes until the Monday maintenance, it has been that way all expac. I wouldn't expect them before that point.
On a side note: I'm so ready for this next raid tier. I'm going to be streaming as we go for a week 1 clear all week next week if anyone is interested.
Too many damn capes. Art team pls.
Please god let the scholar buff be Broil 3 on a 1.5 cast. PLEASE
