Details of First Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Major Patch Confirmed 1

Final Fantasy XIV’s most recent expansion pack, Stormblood, has now been available for purchase several months now. While Square Enix have offered rather consistent, smaller patches since that time, they have confirmed an Early October 2017 launch window for their major “Version 4.1” patch for the MMORPG.

Unveiled during a livestream which celebrated the game’s fourth anniversary, many details were shared about the contents of this patch, which has been officiall titled “The Legend Returns“. This patch will offer a number of goodies including additions to the main scenario, new raids, beginning the sale of housing plots in Shirogane and more.

The new raid in particular is something they have noted. Titled “Return to Ivalice”, this is a 24-person raid being written by Yasumi Matsuno, of Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics acclaim – with Ivalice having featured in both titles.
