Final Fantasy XIV Patch 4.55: Unveiling The Tip Of The Iceberg

“KEEN ON RESOLVING ANY OF YOUR CRYING NEEDS FOR VIRTUAL CURRENCIES”
A lot of hardcore players of Final Fantasy XIV might treat this patch and the upcoming three of patches as “the prelude of a big show”. However, as a matter of fact, this patch is so different from the others that you can even cover it with one sentence. Patch 4.55 is full of surprises, thrills of the chase and hardcore-themed contents that absolutely will cause you an adrenaline surge. So let’s see what the patch brings us with and what to expect in the following updates.

Now as the Final Fantasy Festival 2019 in Paris finally comes to an end, we excitedly were informed through “Letter from Producer LIVE part XLIX” that some new developments and updates would be added in Finally Fantasy on today. Patch 4.55, contains two major updates including Hidden Gorge and Eureka Hydatos, is the one I am referring to. Now since the details and outline of this patch have been given away in the Festival and all will be available for access in a few hours, allow me to expand on the main contents of this patch for you.

Rival Rings Hidden Gorge

First part is Hidden Gorge. You can actually regard this new contest as an upgraded version of Rival Wings Astragalos, as both of them share rather alike battle rules and the same methods aside from several different features and battle mechanics within the former one. As a team-based PvP contest in Final Fantasy XIV, the new map introduces two rivals in the form of teams that manage to destroy each other’s “core” during a round, using machina powered with ceruleum tanks.

One of the distinctive mechanics Hidden Gorge features is called “Ceruleum Engines“, which basically an old-fashioned shabby and rusty locomotive, actually become the Alamo that both sides need to wrest away. Once one team take control of the Engine, it instantly lays claim to the supplies cornered in the cargo. Supplies contain large quantities of keys to gobtanks, ceruleum and more, which means any team taking up the cargo will definitely pick up the huge advantages in the contest.

In addition to all the bright side of this locomotive, there is one negative hazard that this mechanics brings into: this locomotive is always travelling around the railway and periodically speeds up a lot. For those who care more for the opponents’ movements than the engines, it’s possible that the locomotive will run you over and leave you with severe damage and knockback.

Based on what we’ve heard from the convention, this new Hidden Gorge map, as well as the Rival Rings Astragalos, features deploying the Brute Justice Machinas for multiple times and cruel fights in the different areas of the battlefield.

The other feature that was created and added in the new map is the Goblin Mercenaries. They play a role in the Hidden Gorge as a third force that will indiscriminately attack anyone from both sides once someone from the teams approaches them. However, it doesn’t mean those goblins are less of mercenaries than the pain in the ass: once your team brings with more damages on them than the other, those irritable monsters will pledge their loyalty to your team and fight against your rivals as sidekicks.

The Forbidden Land, Eureka Hydatos 

Eureka Hydatos is the fourth chapter and finale of the Eureka storyline, while the existing three chapters are Anemos, Pagos, and Pyros in the order. This new map features a significant enhancement for both the elemental level cap and the augmented gear. It’s said that the level cap is raised to 60 and the gear enhanced in Pyros are allowed to be upgraded in Hydatos. Furthermore, a batch of brand-new logograms and logos actions are added into this map, too.

The theme of this new territory is water. Don’t get mesmerized by the harmony and peacefulness from the presentation about the Eureka Hydatos. In all likelihood, you will wind up being dead and buried under the pile of other corpses of your teammates and friends if you make up your own mind to volunteer for a big-scale crew conquering the Baldesion Arsenal.

The Baldesion Arsenal, generally speaking, is one of the most relentless high-end dungeons with so many restrictions just for an entry that Final Fantasy XIV has ever had. As the newly-added quest in the game and a major part of the Eureka Hydatos map, Baldesion Arsenal is not an obligatory task for all players but won’t allow you in until completing main Eureka storyline and possessing specific items simultaneously. Regardless of strict requirements for entering into the dungeon, Let’s say you managed to get yourself through, join in a gang and get started on your mettle, once anyone in the team, not necessarily you, made a mistake and caused your death. Not like any other regular raid content, you will suffer from a series of severe punishment: Not only will you be wiped out and start over from the very beginning but your previous character level will also be declined accordingly.

In this new dungeon, you are able to encounter a variety of enemies and setbacks: the Absolute Virtue from FFXI, similar traps from the Deep Dungeon, and a detrimental status effect called “Resurrection Restricted” which basically forbid any normal forms of resurrection in the dungeon.

The Baldesion Arsenal dungeon has a members restriction of 56 counts at once. But believe me, everyone will definitely object to point that inviting more players to a team puts the whole quest in harm’s way only if they experience once by themselves. Other than your own crew, the unreserved trust for your companions, perseverance, tons of time and energy, being in luck all the time are also the indispensable factors of completing this quest successfully.

More To Be Expected In The Final Fantasy Festival

In addition to the Patch 4.55, there will be three other patches waiting ahead of us before the release of the third expansion: Shadowbringers. In Patch 4.56, it is going to introduce a Requiem of Heroes and the patch will be launched in the late March of 2019. In Patch 4.57, the World Visit System will be rolled out and added in the Final Fantasy XIV. Also, it’s settled that the EU and NA data center of Final Fantasy XIV will be experienced massive changes and eventually merge as one after the release of Patch 4.57, and players from these servers will be granted with the first four-person mount called Regalia as a reward after the collaboration event pulls off.
