Final Fantasy 14 expands further with the arrival of the new 6.1 patch called Newfound Adventure, which brings with it numerous additional content including quests, options and game systems, special events and more.
As we reported talking about the release date and trailer for the update, patch 6.1 represents a real new chapter for the famous Square Enix MMORPG, given the number of materials that characterize it, both as regards the online multiplayer game and also the single adventure.
Among the narrative elements we find a new story for the Warrior of Light, also adding a wide range of new content and improvements to support a solo accessible experience.
Among these changes, we find changes to various low-level duties of the main story and also the addition of the new Duty Support System, which offers players the opportunity to complete together with NPCs of the dungeons and 4-player trials of the main story of A Ream Reborn (2.0).
To further support a solo accessible gaming experience, major revisions have also been made to Cape Westwind and subsequent duties.
