Sure thing. Let’s dive into this, shall we?
So, um, you know how in Final Fantasy 14 Online, folks have these cat and bunny avatars, right? Yeah, apparently till now, they couldn’t actually wear all the cool hats and stuff. The game’s developers decided to drop this info—like, kinda out of the blue—during this Letter from the Producer Live thing on Friday. Apparently, they’re finally gonna let Hrothgar and Viera flaunt whatever headgear they fancy with Patch 7.3. Took them forever, right?
Back in 2019, when Shadowbringers came along, we first met these furry dudes and dudettes. But yeah, it kinda sucked because they had these, well, "unique heads" with all the ears sticking out, and the headgear options? Total bummer. Like finding out your favorite ice cream is discontinued. Ugh.
Anyway, things are looking better! They’re promising even more headgear—like helmets and stuff—down the line. I just hope, fingers crossed, that they’re putting priority on those snazzy paid outfits. You know, the ones you see and you’re like, "dang, gotta have it."
Now, I couldn’t really care less about hats in MMOs (or maybe I do?), but Naoki Yoshida and his crew had more to share during the stream. The game’s getting a hefty update—Patch 7.3, they call it "The Promise of Tomorrow." Sounds grand, right? It’s wrapping up this Dawntrail storyline, hitting servers come August. I think. Probably somewhere in early August, if I remember correctly.
There’s this tease about a new allied society thingy with the Yok Huy—could be something, could be nothing. And, wait—there’s more! Level 100 dungeons, a 24-player raid called San d’Oria: The Second Walk, some trial thingy—normal and extreme, not that I’d try extreme; I barely survive normal levels! Oh, oh! And there’s this Unreal trial against Seiryu in the, uh, Wreath of Snakes. Sounds kind of intense, doesn’t it?
But honestly, all this? Minor details compared to the epic saga of Hrothgar and Viera finally donning some headgear. It’s been like, what, six years? Of mostly hatless adventures. Crazy, don’t you think?
So yeah, Final Fantasy 14 Online—the whole thing’s playable on just about everything: Mac, PlayStation 4, 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Series X. That’s like a lot of choices. Anyway, if you’re into that kinda thing, it’s there for you.
