Recently, new Final Fantasy 14 players can continue their adventures in Eorzea region by receiving a free limited-time expansion on almost all platforms. As soon as this news came out, it aroused heated discussions among players in the community.

The developers of Final Fantasy 14 also explained the matter and said that they are preparing new updates according to the roadmap. Players will be able to see it in the near future.

During this period, Final Fantasy 14 also upgraded some important servers in North American data centers. The main purpose is to change the way the game works, so that Final Fantasy 14 can ensure that the servers can still function normally when players flood in the future.

The server upgrade and maintenance time will be scheduled from April 3rd to April 4th, and will last for 24 hours. At the same time, they will release together it with the new patch 6.38. Although it is not clear what specific impact this server update will have on players. But a recent piece of news about Final Fantasy 14 Starter Edition has caught the attention of many new players.

Final Fantasy 14’s second expansion, Stormblood, will be available for free until May 8 to players who have acquired the Final Fantasy 14 Starter Edition on any platform. But this promotion is not applicable to old players who already have Endwalker or new players who are just in the free trial period. Among them, is to include the previously accessible extensions.

Stormblood expansion was first officially released in June 2017. In Stormblood expansion, players can start adventures in Gyr Abania and Far East. At the same time, players can also play the roles of Samurai and Red Mage, rebelling against the dark reign of Garlean Empire.

Stormblood also brings players a new character, Zenos, one of the most iconic villains in Final Fantasy series. Its main mission throughout Stormblood expansion is to fight Warrior of Light.

Although there have been many Final Fantasy 14 players who have had significant differences because of the main storyline of Stormblood before, there have been quite a few conflicts.

However, it is undeniable that there are also some impressive dungeon missions in Stormblood. Whether it is vibrant Shisui of Violet Tides or smoky Doma Castle, players have left many unforgettable memories here.

And many stories in Stormblood can still provide new inspiration for the update of Final Fantasy 14. We believe that in this updated patch, players can experience more new content, including “Return to Ivalice” alliance raid series, part that Final Fantasy 12 and Final Fantasy Tactics players can participate in.

During this update, in addition to the free Stormblood upgrade, new players can also participate in the limited-time free login event of the return of Final Fantasy 14. Returning players can once again experience the four days of free play until May 8th. And you can get rich rewards, including some rare items that can improve equipment and some FF14 Gil.

With the participation of new players and the return of old players, I believe this year’s update of the new expansion of Final Fantasy 14 will be another grand event. If you are also interested, don’t forget to participate in time!

The Raid mission, the player’s first challenge in Final Fantasy 14, is to breach the Crystal Tower, enter the dungeon and discover its secrets. To do this, the first thing you need to do is travel through the Labyrinth Of The Ancients.

The following is all the information about this Labyrinth Of The Ancients mission, mainly including the attack mechanism of each boss.

Bone Dragon

The first boss the player encounters in Labyrinth Of The Ancients is Bone Dragon. In fact, it is not difficult to defeat Bone Dragon, but they will resurrect repeatedly it, but in the process, he will not have any powerful attacks.

Just be aware that Platinals may suddenly appear to attack the player during the battle. After they die, their bones will stay in place, and the Platinals will explode upon encountering the corpse, damaging all players present.

If enough Platinals explode, you can even die from massive damage. To avoid this, you should get those Platinals off Bone Dragon early on. That way, when Bone Dragon revives, you’ll have enough time to avoid Platinals exploding when they encounter its corpse. Repeat the entire process a few more times and you’ll be able to kill Bone Dragon.

Atomos

The second boss in Labyrinth Of The Ancients is actually a group of Atomos. It will be difficult for the player to attack them at first, since a barrier will protect Atomos. To remove this barrier, four players must go to the arena entrance panel. Therefore, it takes the joint efforts of the three Alliances to lower the barrier to killing Atomos.

After the players kill Atomos, they need to wait for Alliances to complete the task together. But remember to stay on the panel until all Alliances complete the mission.

Thanatos

The third boss in Labyrinth Of The Ancients is Thanatos. Before the battle begins, Magic Pots around the arena grant Alliances Astral Realignment Buff. This buff will greatly reduce the damage the player suffers in the later stage.

At the same time, you can also use this Buff to defeat the ghost-like boss, Thanatos. You don’t need to worry here, you just need to have the basic equipment.

Allagan Bomb

Allagan Bomb is the fourth boss you’ll encounter in Labyrinth Of The Ancients. In battle, each Alliance will encounter a Vassago. Each player can use the tank to lead Vassago to the edge of the arena, preventing it from attacking other players. Allagan Bomb also becomes extremely vulnerable when players kill all three Vassagos, which you can easily take out.

King Behemoth

The fifth boss you’ll encounter will be King Behemoth. A green marker will lock players throughout the battle, and Comet will randomly drop at the positions of these markers, causing tremendous damage to the player.

King Behemoth will also use these Ecliptic Meteors to attack players. Players can avoid this attack by simply standing behind a comet until Ecliptic Meteor explodes.

Phlegethon

The ultimate boss the player encounters is Phlegethon. This boss has several telegraphed AoE attacks that players can easily dodge. But when Phlegethon has 50% health left, he unleashes an Ancient Flare in the center of the arena, an attack that does enough damage to kill all players at once.

It also reactivated this attack when Phlegethon has 10% of health remaining. Some players may choose to try to kill Phlegethon before it uses Ancient Flare, but this is also a tremendous risk. They commit if not all players enough, everyone dies. You need to take your chances beforehand to ensure you have enough time to kill Phlegethon.

Final Fantasy 14 recently held a FanFest event in Las Vegas. Just the other day Final Fantasy 14 held a sweepstake for existing take part players.

Players can use FF14 Gil to exchange for up to two tickets during this event. This also caused the tickets for this event to be sold out soon. Some players who want to take part in this FanFest event can only miss the opportunity.

During the release of Final Fantasy 14’s patch 6.35, players also discovered some new content in this Hildibrand Quest series.

After the sweepstakes ended, Square Enix emailed some of the selected players. They can redeem up to two tickets to this FanFest event in Las Vegas this July. Most players quickly exchanged tickets at the window after receiving the notification, so the thousands of tickets that Square Enix had left today will soon be gone.

42 minutes after the sweepstakes ended, Final Fantasy 14 and its developers said they were out of all remaining tickets for this FanFest event. Although some players still have the opportunity to exchange tickets at the window, most players are angry at the way FanFest tickets such as Square Enix are distributed.

At the beginning, Square Enix had promised players that tickets would be distributed to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis. But in this FanFest ticket window, in order to effectively prevent scalpers or bots from grabbing tickets, Square Enix specially used today’s lottery to randomly disrupt the positions of some potential queue players a few minutes before the window opened.

Although Square Enix did this to allow more actual players of Final Fantasy 14 to grab tickets, it backfired. This approach has not been understood by the players and has also caused dissatisfaction among many players.

The recent controversy of Square Enix has not stopped. Not only because some players were angry with Square Enix’s FanFest ticket distribution method, but also that Lalafell Lifter added in patch 6.35 in Final Fantasy 14 was also criticized by many players.

Not only that, but other players have publicly criticized Square Enix in the community for not only ticket issues but also the venue for this FanFest event at this Las Vegas Convention Center is still undecided.

Mainly because this FanFest event is held in conjunction with two other events, but it is unclear how much space is currently available at this Las Vegas Convention Center. This situation has also worried many players. But these circumstances did not appease the anger of players who did not get FanFest tickets.

Nevertheless, the developers of Final Fantasy 14 have also made timely adjustments to these problems. Some players who want to ask questions about this FanFest event or the upcoming Final Fantasy 14 update may have the opportunity soon.

Next weekend, Final Fantasy 14 production director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida will be holding a presentation at PAX East. During the meeting, Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida will answer some player questions, including this FanFest ticket solving issues. It also requested all Final Fantasy 14 players to wait patiently, and hope that players can see a satisfactory processing result.

Some Final Fantasy 14 players are unhappy with the recent addition of “a chair for Lalafell characters” to the game. NPCs that appear in this part of the content are some short characters, which look very similar to Tarutaru in Final Fantasy 14, but are slightly taller than Tarutaru. 

And Tarutaru is the dwarf race in Final Fantasy 14. They are usually small in stature and have long ears. Also dubbed by Square Enix as a race with “childlike countenance.”

Nevertheless, this approach was indeed understandable by players at the beginning. Most of the furniture in Final Fantasy 14 from ten years ago was not suitable for use by characters such as Lalafell of the dwarf race, and was generally designed after most other playable characters in Final Fantasy 14. 

Although this kind of insignificant problem is easily overlooked by developers in general. However, when players start to decorate their personal homes, this becomes an issue that needs to be taken seriously. Because decorations for everything from beds to musical instruments to plants will no longer be available for Lalafell.

Therefore, it has been a long-term demand of Lalafell players to want furniture that suits their figure. Fortunately, Square Enix has addressed this issue to some extent in Final Fantasy 14’s latest patch 6.35. 

But this new Lalafell Lifter is a custom-made chair for smaller characters, and it described Lalafell Lifter as “whether tired of feeling left out in conversation or out of reach of the edge of the table.” Especially Lalafell Lifter’s extended stool legs and shortened backrest. These problems seriously offended some players and caused dissatisfaction among players.

Many Final Fantasy 14 players with Lalafell characters have protested the existence of Lalafell Lifter on the official Square Enix forums or other social media. Players said that this Lalafell Lifter has a strong “insulting.”

Ironically, Lalafell Lifter is more like a toddler’s high stool than a decent seat. Especially the red and white color scheme of Lalafell Lifter makes people feel that they design this decoration for children. 

According to forum user Pyshiro, Final Fantasy 14 has decent, mature furniture that fits the size of Lalafell, and players can see it when they look at Tomra. Players wanted more Lalafell appropriate decorations to decorate their houses, instead they received a child seat that looked out of place in their room. This approach by Square Enix also disappointed many players.

For some players who own Lalafell character in Final Fantasy 14, the appearance of Lalafell Lifter will only inexplicably increase their resistance in the game. 

In some forum posts, some players have been mocked by other players in the community for the matter, and have even been called predators because of their character choices. A Final Fantasy 14 player says he’s fed up with the childish attacks and prejudices he receives for his role as Lalafell. 

What’s even worse is that the indifference of another part of the players made this matter worse.

In any case, I hope that Square Enix can understand the dissatisfaction of players, and give timely feedback, so as to provide more suitable furniture for Lalafell players. 

If you want to get other furniture or decorations, you can also choose to exchange them by getting enough FF14 Gil. I hope you can have a pleasant gaming experience.
