The wait for the second major post-launch update to Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, titled Patch 6.2: Buried Memory is almost upon us. In an early morning Letter from the Producer LIVE broadcast, Producer and Director of Final Fantasy XIV (and Final Fantasy XVI) Naoki “YoshiP” Yoshida confirmed that fans will be able to dive into the new content starting 23 August 2022. With the next wave of 8-player raids, a continuation of the new MSQ, continued improvements to older content AND the newly introduced Island Sanctuary, hopefully there will be enough to keep fans casual and hardcore alike, entertained for a while going forward.
