On top of that, the official service for the PS5 version has started after a few weeks of open beta testing.

The update isn’t a big download, weighing only 703 megabytes on PC, but it still comes with plenty of content including the following.

  • Patch 5.5 Main Scenario, Part II – The second part of this final main scenario update before Endwalker sets the stage for the upcoming expansion in grand fashion.
  • YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse – Additional YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse story has been added to this epic crossover questline.
  • “Save the Queen” Questline Update – This latest update includes a new field area, “Zadnor,” an increased resistance rank cap of 25, final enhancement of resistance weapons, and new large-scale battle content Dalriada for up to 48 players.

If you haven’t yet tried the PS5 version, which is available at an upgrade for free to anyone who has the PS4 version, here’s what it brings to the table.

  • Framerate Improvements
  • Faster Load Times
  • 4K Resolution Support
  • DualSense Haptic Feedback
  • New Trophies
  • 3D Audio Support

Below you can see a batch of images from update 5.5, including new gear, an update to Bard’s performance including the new Fender guitar, and a new emote.

Incidentally, the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion Endwalker will release on November 23, 2021 for PS5, PS4, and PC.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
