Final Fantasy 14 Zadnor Update Releases May 25

Square Enix has announced that a new gameplay zone, Zadnor, will release on May 25 as part of patch 5.55. Players will need to have finished the Return of Ivalice raids from Stormblood, and also completed the Shadowbringers main storyline up through patch 5.4: Futures Rewritten. Zadnor mostly serves to yield the ultimate equipment of the Shadowbringers expansion in the form of item level 535 Resistance Weapons. This makes them on par with high end raiding gear from 8-player Eden content, but through repeatedly doing older and easier content. Zadnor will also offer now armor inspired by Final Fantasy 12, allowing players to dress as main and guest party members like Basch, Penelo, and Larsa.

 

Square Enix advises players to take their time in Zadnor, as it is the last major update until the launch of the next expansion, Endwalker. With a release date of November 23, Zadnor seems to be extra padding for the six month content draught. As the zone offers experience points to jobs level 71 and above, it will also be a popular area for the new jobs Sage and Reaper that will begin at level 70.

The PlayStation 5 version will also officially launch on the same day as patch 5.55, concluding the current beta.
