Final Fantasy 14's patch 6.5 might change slightly depending on whether you've played the best raid series in the MMO.
Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida has spoken to Dengeki Online about what to expect in patch 6.5, which launches later this year. The director recommends you go back and play the Eden raid series from the post-Shadowbringers patches if you haven't done so already.
Yoshida says the development team is working on making "subtle" changes to dialogue and scenes in Final Fantasy 14's patch 6.5 depending on whether you've played the Eden raid series. This will apparently come in the patch's dialogue, which could relate to player dialogue options.
However, Yoshida says the development team is avoiding making "significant" changes to the patch for these players. The director probably doesn't want you branching off in wildly different dialogue paths in Final Fantasy 14's patch 6.5 depending on whether you've done one raid series.
If you haven't already played the Eden raid series, consider this your official invitation to do so. The raid series is widely regarded as some of the best stuff to come out of Final Fantasy 14's excellent Shadowbringers expansion, and we'd definitely hear an argument that it's one of the best raid series' in Final Fantasy 14 as a whole.
Yoshida's comments open a can of worms as to how patch 6.5 will change, but he obviously isn't giving the answer away here. It could be that the player will be able to make reference to Ryne or Gaia, the two heroes of the Raid series - and girlfriends, depending on which fan you ask.
Final Fantasy 14 patch 6.5 launches next month in early October, and it's through this patch that Final Fantasy 14 enters beta for Xbox players, at long last. This all precedes Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail, the MMO's next major expansion, which will arrive next year in the summer of 2024.
Square Enix's developers have enough material for another expansion after Dawntrail , so the future of Final Fantasy 14 might already be charted.

Final Fantasy 14 has been getting updates in preparation for Dawntrail, the game's new expansion that is launching next Summer. During the expansion's announcement, game director Naoki Yoshida revealed that he was wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt, which longtime fans will know is his way of teasing the upcoming introduction of a new job. He's done it several time in the past, such as wearing a Batman shirt as a not so subtle tease for the Dark Knight job.
We’re months away from Final Fantasy XIV’s next major expansion, Dawntrail. Still, players are trying to learn any amount of details they can about the upcoming, competitive treasure hunt where they’ll be facing off with former allies who have been by their side for years. Customary to every Final Fantasy XIV expansion, there are new Jobs for players who grab it, and some players believe they’ve figured out one of the two new ones coming to the game.
Final Fantasy 14 is getting a kappa suit at the behest of series father Hironobu Sakaguchi, and while he's thrilled about the addition to one of the best MMORPGs around, he's still taken to Photoshop to make it just a little bit cuter.
The next big Final Fantasy XIV update launches in just two weeks. At this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix revealed FFXIV Patch 6.5 goes live on October 3, 2023.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura and producer Yoshinori Kitase can't seem to agree on whether the term JRPG is a bad thing or not.
Heading into 's tenth anniversary, it's no longer a surprise to see the MMORPG continue to be one of the most popular games in its genre. The development team behind the project — which, lest readers forget, began as an absolute disaster at lauch — has cultivated a reputation for being one of the most trustworthy in the industry. «Quality» and " expansion" seem to go hand-in-hand at this point, and that sustained level of design innovation has made the game into one of the most influential live service options around.
Final Fantasy 14 has a ridiculously generous free trial—one that, as of next month, is going to include two expansions that encompass hundreds of hours of playtime. It's still a subscription-based MMO at its heart though, something which director and producer Naoki Yoshida doesn't intend on changing anytime soon.
Square Enix has "no plans" to make Final Fantasy 14 free to play even though a lot of the game already is.
