Beyond the usual program (spicy quests, side quests, dungeon, challenge, raid), this update will introduce a new game element called Islander Bliss. Each player will be the owner of his own paradise island and will be able to indulge in healthy occupations such as harvesting materials, building infrastructure or breeding creatures, all without prior experience required in crafting or harvesting. Through these different activities, islanders will be able to earn currency to exchange for special items.
Here is the summary of the program as communicated by Square Enix:
Prior to the rollout of these updates, travel between data centers will be available in Update 6.18 on Tuesday, July 5. Players will be able to visit worlds on other data centers to regroup and participate in instanced content. Please note that travel between Japanese, American, European and Oceanian servers is not yet on the agenda.
let’s remember that FF14 is a victim of its strong increase in attendance and that Square Enix is doing its best to accommodate everyone, especially since the launch of the extension Endwalker. The 6.18 update will also see the addition of a new data center (Meteor) on the Japanese server, but we note above all the start of the expansion of the data centers in Europe with the creation of four new Worlds . All details are available here.
