Final Fantasy 14 is seeing a free Oceania Data Centre expansion confirmed for February 2022.
The Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker expansion is also dropping in December (trailer for Endwalker right hya), with an early access version available on the 3rd and the proper release on the 7th.
A letter from The Producer livestream including Square Enix staff working on Final Fantasy 14 included some of the following highlights regarding the upcoming ‘Data Centre’.
- The Data Centre is called Materia (a nod to the supplementary elemental combat items used in Final Fantasy 7).
- All worlds in the Materia Data Centre will be seen as ‘New Worlds’.
- These worlds will include free world transfer opportunities and special bonuses.
A Brief Finally Fantastic Advertisement: If you’re looking to try Final Fantasy VII on PS4, Final Fantasy XII on Nintendo Switch or Final Fantasy VIII Remastered on PS4, then boy do I know the online gaming store for you! Here’s a hint: HERE!
The development team for Final Fantasy 14 have stated in May that completion of a new Data Centre as requested by fans should be implemented by the 6.1 patch, which will be releasing shortly after the Endwalker expansion. Fans of Final Fantasy 14 in Oceania will see this as an absolute win, as up till now, fans from different countries that aren’t supported by in-game Data Centres had to play using servers from other countries, resulting in congestion issues, albeit not as bad as New World having to temporarily wipe entire mechanics just to make way for full servers. Though let’s not mince words, the whole palava with Final Fantasy 14 players having to enter lottery-like gambling dens to buy in-game houses is a whole other can of worms. Know what’s better than worms though? Actual food! So thank God the game has a cook book that’s equally useful in the virtual and real world.
Brief aside, the housing system will be seeing improvements in the upcoming patch to make waiting times for house purchases easier by not having to stand right by your desired area for housing for hours on end (this system will apply to Empyreum, a new location in Ishgard). Plots can’t be purchased till Patch 6.1 rolls in, but players can still explore various areas for potential purchase in Patch 6.0 to their heart’s content.
Final Fantasy 14 is now available on PC, PS4, and PS5.
