First Look at Final Fantasy XIV Running on the PlayStation 5

Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Square Enix. The game is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy franchise.

In the most recent “Letter from the Producer LIVE” stream, the game’s producer and director Naoki Yoshida showcased the first footage of the game running on the Playstation 5.

The new-gen version of the game brings improvements in framerate, faster loading times, supports 4K resolution, uses the DualSense haptic feedback, and also introduces new trophies and 3-dimensional audio support according to Square Enix.

Square Enix took to Twitter to reveal that the game will get an open beta starting on April 13th. During this time, those who have purchased a digital copy of the game on the PlayStation 4 can upgrade to the next-generation version for free. Following the beta, the game will have a free trial version available for download.

Final Fantasy patch version 5.5

Final Fantasy XIV’s patch version 5.5 is looking very promising. The patch includes two main parts. Firstly, on April 13th, the third chapter of YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse designed by Yosuke Saito and Yoko Taro. This patch will release alongside the open beta.

Square Enix described the upcoming ‘Death Unto Dawn’ event on their site. According to them, “The Scions have finally succeeded in discovering a cure for tempering, which should prove instrumental in allowing the Eorzean Alliance and the land’s beast tribes to settle their differences.

“Prospects of peace may soon fall to ruin, however, as Fandaniel and the Telophoroi scheme to recreate the Final Days, and ominous towers rise in all corners of the realm. With the servants of chaos amassing at every turn, will the Scions uncover their plot before it is too late?”

The game will also be getting its fourth expansion pack named ‘Endwalker’ on April 13th. Endwalker’s tale is set to present The Warriors of Light with their toughest challenge yet. It includes the highly anticipated conclusion of the Hydaeln and Zodiark story and presents the heroes with a second coming of the Final Days.
