I think the real Starlight miracle was the fact that they got to live a few more days. This has probably already been done (please let me know if so), but I'm gonna miss these weirdos. I'll miss you, Lv 1 my beloved. #lv1 #bunposing #gpose

Remember…

gone, but never forgotten. #FFXIV #art #LV.1

😔🙏 rest in peace, Lvl 1 . #ffxiv

goodnight, sweet .

I met Lv 1 now and have converted to my new religion #ffxiv #ffxivart

Happy Starlight, Lv 1. ✨ #finalfantasyxiv #ffxiv #ffxivart #ff14 #ff14art #starlight

💫⭐ you must survive!! ⭐💫 #ffxiv

I just heard from a totally legitimate and reliable source that this is actually what happened while the servers were down.

Worry not about our beloved Lv1 . They were merely transported to an animal sanctuary where they can be safe from heretics and server-crashing retainers on ventures.

Am I going home? Will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?

Wintry weather has settled in across the realm, and what better to celebrate the occasion than with a festive cuppa! 🍵 Partake in the Starlight Celebration and enjoy a heartwarming drink from December 17 to December 31! 🎄 sqex.to/58SCN

Presenting the trailer for FFXIV Patch 7.4─Into the Mist! Set to arrive on Tuesday, December 16. 🗓️

New crafted gear has a magical girl theme. (cont.)

Every choice you make has consequences. Will you help or stand by? 📦

That's all for today's #FFXIV Letter from the Producer LIVE. Thanks for tuning in! 🙌✨ If you missed the show, you can rewatch the archive here ▶️ sqex.to/SDmWp

Fashion enjoyers, this one is for you! From Patch 7.4 onward, you'll be able to equip any glamours regardless of your class/job! ✨ Mix and match your favorite outfits and slay on the battlefield! 💅

The team is relaxing a long-held policy of certain types of gear glamour only being equip-able by certain roles. "Use any gear in your glamour, irrespective of class, job or level restriction." However, weapons/tools are exempt due to animations.

A 'Command Panel' has been added based on feedback. Anything you can add to a hotbar can be added to the command panel, which consists of four separate panels with 25 slots each. Great for emotes, gear sets, macros, etc. to consolidate HUD space.

The 'Strategy Board' feature will be added. Yoshida thanks players for their patience. More information about this features functions will be shared in the next broadcast.

Onto system updates, 'Clear Green' and 'Clear White' will be added as UI color themes.

Yoshida notes that, like the development of the Pilgrim's Traverse deep dungeon, player feedback has driven the changes to the variant & criterion dungeon design. A look at bosses and rewards, including new glamour and a flying carpet mount. More will be offered than pictured here:

We'll be introducing some new changes to the Variant dungeon system following player feedback. 👇✨

Look forward to new challenges and foes with these new updates to Variant dungeons! 💪⚔

The team provides an overview of the changes to variant & criterion dungeons in this slide:

Once the Advanced variant dungeon is completed, a new criterion dungeon will be added. This is even higher in difficulty and you must proceed sequentially through boss encounters to receive a reward. Revival methods are limited.

Variant dungeons themselves are unchanged, but once completed, you will unlock a new 'Variant Dungeon (Advanced)' duty. There's no exploration but consists of three boss battles from the variant dungeon you can challenge in any order.

When you complete a variant dungeon, you will unlock the corresponding 'criterion dungeon'. While there are no branching paths, the difficulty increases significantly, including a savage difficulty version. However, the duty structure has been adjusted based on feedback. They will now discuss:

This NPC accompanying you this time is a relative of Y'shtola. Here, they and the Warrior of Light are seen raising their palms to a book.

Resuming now with a look at a new variant dungeon: 'The Merchant's Tale'. Yoshida notes its unique style, fit for a Pictomancer perhaps...

The new variant dungeon is going to have me by the throat once it's out. I'm so excited.

Enter a world of vibrancy in the new Variant dungeon, The Merchant's Tale, arriving in the Patch 7.4 series! ☁️

A sequential mission completion bonus has been added to Cosmic Exploration. 'Ruin Exploration' has been added where you will "uncover ancient records pertaining to the planet's past, and have them appraised to obtain a range of items."

New rewards will be available in Oizys, including those exchange-able with cosmocredits, cosmic fortune prizes, and new tokens obtained from EX+ missions & new items for exchange. Such as:

ACTUAL SPACE SUIT HELMET!!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!!!!!

The next destination of Cosmic Exploration has been revealed! 🌠 Get ready to travel to Oizys! 🪐

The Manderville Gold Saucer mini-game "Air Force One" will be updated with a new course: "The Cieldalaes".

Here is an upcoming schedule of the Arcadion: Heavyweight Tier raid and craftable gear in Patch 7.4. 📝✨ ⚠️ The Arcadion: Heavyweight Tier (Savage) is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, January 6!

A new threat emerges in the upcoming trial, Hell on Rails! 🚂 Will our Warriors of Light be up for the challenge? ⚔️

A new Frontlines map will be added in Patch 7.4! ⚔️ Worqor Chirteh welcomes all PvP enjoyers and Series malmstone collectors! 🔶 🔷

Face new perils in Mistwake, a new dungeon arriving in Patch 7.4. 🌫️

I've only had the Arcadian elezens for a short amount of time(less than 5 minutes), but I'd do terrible terrible things for them already.
