This article is focused on an evolving narrative. Please revisit for updates, as we will be incorporating new information when it becomes available. The forthcoming update for Final Fantasy XIV is on the horizon, offering ample excitement for fans. In July, Square Enix’s immensely popular MMO unveiled the Dawntrail expansion, transporting players to a realm reminiscent of America. Now, just two months after its release, FFXIV is gearing up for Patch 7.1, marking one of the most substantial updates since Dawntrail’s debut.
Full details of Patch 7.1, including its official title, will be disclosed during a Letter From the Producer Live event on September 29 at 1:50 AM Eastern, coinciding with the Tokyo Game Show, as reported by GameRant. This Letter will be hosted by FFXIV producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi. It will be streamed on the game’s YouTube channel, featuring text in English and Japanese, although the presentation itself will be solely in Japanese.
What We Know About Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.1
Job Balancing and Enhanced Fishing Photography Anticipated
While the release date for Patch 7.1 for Dawntrail remains unspecified, Square Enix has already hinted at several forthcoming enhancements. The FFXIV update promises improved job balancing, the introduction of speech bubbles, and an in-game strategy planner tailored for raids. Additionally, it is poised to debut the initial phase of the Final Fantasy 11 collaboration raid, “Echoes of Vana’diel,” alongside a new Unreal trial and the “Ultimate” rendition of the “Futures Rewritten” raid. Furthermore, Square Enix may address the challenges players have faced with the notoriously difficult Normal Dawntrail Arcadion raid.
Expect more quests and content, with further insights to be unveiled during the September Letter From the Producer Live stream. On the non-gameplay side, an update to the Group Pose feature will enable players to capture stylish, posed screenshots of themselves fishing. Moreover, Group Pose will now support Portrait mode for screenshots.

Dawntrail was intended to offer a much-needed respite for the protagonists. However, upon arriving in the sun-drenched lands of Tural, the in-game counterpart of Mexico, they find themselves drawn into a fresh adventure. This expansion sees them joining Wuk Lamat and other new characters on a journey encompassing growth and political intrigue. The expansion introduced numerous new locations, quests, and a novel brush-wielding job class known as the Pictomancer. Patch 7.1 for Final Fantasy XIV will continue their adventures while enhancing the game for fans. The update is anticipated to be released in early November.
