Final Fantasy 14 Update 6.55 Brings Story Finales and PvP Changes

A Final Fantasy 14 live-action TV series is now confirmed to be «dead» due to the «size and scale needed to do it right».

Final Fantasy 14 recently added a new furnishing item that hearkens back to the iconic square grapes from Endwalker’s original release. The Labyrinthos Grape Lamppost outdoor furnishing, added in Patch 6.55, lets Final Fantasy 14 players immortalize the meme outside their homes and Island Sanctuary forever.

A developer from Embark Studios has confirmed that changes are coming to an overpowered ability from The Finals called Recon Senses. Despite many fans complaining that the ability is unbalanced and in desperate need of some sort of fix, the latest update to The Finalsnerfed several weapons, but not Recon Senses.

Rival survival sims Palworld and the just-launched Enshrouded are now openly battling for hearts and minds on Steam, and here comes genre supremo Valheim out of the blind corner like, errrr, one of the celebrity WWE wrestlers who hasn't turned out to be Problematic - I don't know, maybe Zack Sabre Jr? Educate me, wrestling fans.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is promising to be a massive experience, and while a significant portion of its optional content is obviously going to be focused on characters and storytelling (what with its Witcher 3 inspirations), there will, of course, be plenty of minigames for players to dive into as well.

Ever since the launch of Destiny 2, and even in the original Destiny, players have been stuck with their characters' appearance, for better or for worse. If you made a mistake or wanted to change your character's looks down the line, you were out of luck, which is fairly uncommon in long-term games such as Destiny 2, that have you playing the same character for potentially multiple years. Thankfully, that is about to change.

The original Destiny arrived 10 years ago this year — and finally, Bungie will let players modify their character's face.

If you want to change your Destiny 2 wizard's appearance, the only current method is to stash your wizard's gear in your vault, create a whole new wizard with a new look (after deleting the old to free a character slot, if needed), grab your old wizard's gear, then optionally replay any story bits to catch up. The MMOFPS has no barber, no surgeon, it's new character or nothing. After six years (longer, if you count the first game), Bungie are finally planning to change this. An upcoming update will introduce the ability to change your character's look—within limits. For drastic changes, you would still need a new wizard.

A new Xbox Wire post announced that the Final Fantasy 14 open beta for Xbox Series X|S is live, but Xbox quickly backtracked and provided some clarification. The Final Fantasy 14 open beta is not ready yet for Xbox, as the company reveals that an error was made while sharing the news.

Microsoft may be in preliminary discussions to bring Final Fantasy 7 Remake to Xbox, an established industry insider has said. This claim arrives mere months after a well-known leaker labeled a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Xbox port as unlikely, at least in the foreseeable future.

For fans of Villagers and Heroes , there was a bit of a lull period due to a Data Center issue, but luckily those affected got a bit of good news because of the quick but slightly annoying server issue. 

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s latest trailer is here, and although it’s a relatively short one, it’s a minute of story-packed goodness that’s sure to get fans excited.
