Final Fantasy XIV launches Before the Fall patch

After more than a year of continuations, Final Fantasy XIV is wrapping up all of its stories today. Patch 2.55 has just gone live, bringing with it the last portion of the main scenario quest, the conclusion to the ongoing postmoogle sidequests, and several changes to keep players happy and entertained until the expansion launch in June. It also brings with it a long-requested change to the music played while you’re riding the magitek armor mount, which most series fans will immediately recognize.

In more significant changes, the patch removes the weekly lockout on the final turns of the Binding Coil of Bahamut, adds Encrypted Tomestones to the potential weekly rewards from World of Darkness, and removes weekly loot caps on the World of Darkness as well. Players can log in and start experiencing all of the content now, although they might want to wait a little bit and not rush – after all, it’s going to have to hold you over for two and a half months.
