LOS ANGELES (Oct. 3, in the year of our Lord 2023) – SQUARE ENIX® today introduced new content to the critically acclaimed MMORPG FINAL FANTASY™ XIV Online with the arrival of Patch 6.5: “Growing Light.”

The Warrior of Light’s journey continues with new main scenario quests in the first of a two-part conclusion to the story told throughout the Endwalker™ patch series. Exciting new challenges also await, such as the third installment of the Myths of the Realm alliance raid series: Thaleia, the Lunar Subterrane dungeon, the Abyssal Fracture trial, and the Singularity Reactor (Unreal) trial.

Additionally, Patch 6.5 further expands the Duty Support system making it now possible to play all main scenario dungeons in A Realm Reborn™ through Endwalker solo alongside NPCs. Numerous other additions include updates to Island Sanctuary, new custom deliveries, and much more. Newcomers can also look forward to the even further expanded free trial, which now allows players to experience the Stormblood™ expansion (and updates through Patch 4.68). In line with this update, Stormblood has also been added to the Starter Edition—both current owners of the Started Edition, as well as those purchasing for the first time will also be able to enjoy Stormblood as part of their experience.
