Final Fantasy 14 (2010)
Final Fantasy 14has of late unveiled a ton of news for its approaching major content update : patch 7.2 . Among the usual suspect of anFFXIVupdate , Square Enix snuck in a few calibre - of - living changes that are going to be a godsend for instrumentalist . New raid tier , of row , are decent for the brusque full term , but sometimes , it ’s the small thing that truly have an impact , especially forFFXIV ’s farseeing - term development . ultimately , FFXIVis taking another look at traversal and is changing a genre staple that has been ingrained within MMOs for quite some time .
The feature in question is the restrictive roll time for muster up a mount , which ask a type to stand still throughout the plaster bandage . With theupcoming release ofFFXIV ’s eyepatch 7.2 , the Warrior of Light has conquered this restriction , allow for drive while a mount is being summoned . Beyond the change on an item-by-item level , it ’s encouraging to see Square Enix dedicating some fourth dimension to taking another stab at these quality - of - life lineament , and will hopefully draw out that effort towards other ill-famed systems ( like the anathematize glamor chest ) .
FFXIV Will Let You Call A Mount Even While Running
It’s Never Too Late For Quality Of Life Improvements
FFXIVhas a mass of stop and go . During the main story , a common stream is established . I accept a pursuance and set off a cutscene . After the cutscene ends , I wait a few second to climb up . Then , I move towards the next objective lens , almost always an NPC , and trigger another cutscene . It ’s a routine that the main story ofFFXIV , almost to a demerit , has conserve . Allowing for movement while mounting , even if it functionally does n’t dramatically decrease change of location time , does introduce more runniness into the perceptibly static experience .
A lead developer at Square Enix expressed their interest in finding a mode to crossover Final Fantasy 14 and their favorite game , League of Legends .
While the plaster bandage - meter to mobilise the setting seem to be exactly the same , the dim-witted addition of being able to move during the cast is a change that will have a bigger impact than it sounds . Waiting for a climb to be summoned is so common in MMO ’s that this is in truth go to be new territorial dominion for many participant .
Having To Wait To Call Mounts Was An Annoying Part Of FFXIV
FFXIV’s Most Ubiquitous Cast
There ’s a cause that , traditionally , mounts have cast times in MMOs . For many early MMOs , where capable world PvP was a main feature , it would be completely give away if mounts could be summoned while moving or instantly . It would make evading conflict far too gentle , and lead to a thwarting PvP experience . This is , as far as I can tell , the elementary use of a mount ’s cancelable , stabile form time , and why it ’s such a stable feature in MMOs .
Another awe-inspiring change is allowing for a lasting dash core in city with the ( slightly dense than dash ) jog status .
It solicit the inquiry of whyFFXIV , which will never have candid world PvP , chose to have the feature in the first place . Functionally , it achieve nothing for the game beyond forcing a player to hold back for their darling steed , like thefantastic climb added inDawntrail , to be summoned . It ’s a needless cellular inclusion , likely add for the sake of tradition , that does nothing but slowFFXIVdown . FFXIV , then , is say hello to the hereafter , and hopefully , will extend the mentality behind this positive , if understated , change to organisation which desperately need modernization .

Of naturally , Final Fantasy 14is , by this full stop , quite a long - running game . Clunkiness is bound to be present . At the same time , there come a peak where a alteration involve to occur . The integral transmog system , for example , comes to listen ; it ’s a system that has take in Band - help localisation for years , and is due for proper reevaluation . Similarly , inventory management is a massive QoL issue , with there being far too many store locations – chocobo saddlebag , retainers , armory chest – that make inventory management a frustrating endeavor . Hopefully , the riding horse change is an indicant of more to come .
Many Changes Are Coming To FFXIV’s 7.2 Update
More Than Just A Raid Tier
Along with these changes , 7.2 is come with a horde of mental object update , include , last , the addition ofDawntrail ’s take on relic weapons . While the zone , Occult Crescent , which will serve as the elementary means of acquiring the weapon system , wo n’t be released until May ( in patch 7.25 ) , there ’s still plentifulness to look onward to in the interim . The excellent , wrestle - pep up bucolic raid will be get its second tier : the Cruiserweight Division , which , base on its harbinger , is certain to be an exciting experience , especially when wolf mode release a week after patch day .
Square Enix uncover that the ever - pop Final Fantasy XIV is coming to roving equipment and it vocalize like an implausibly challenging port .
A Modern crafting and collector end - game activity , à laShadowbringers ' Ishgardian Restoration , will also be come toFFXIV ’s 7.2 . Cosmic Exploration will launch in April , and see warrior of Light influence together to colonise various inter - galactic planet through non - combat means . regrettably , Dawntrail ’s third novel caper , the Beastmaster , will not be come in 7.2 , despite its early announcement duringDawntrail ’s route to launch . Hopefully , these features will be deserving the delay when they do get in , but until then , there are plenty of activities to tackle inFFXIV ’s temporary hookup 7.2 .
