The only way to the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion is through the last patch of this expansion, just like the only way to reach Ilsabard through Aldenard is through Ghimlyt. A combination of aetheroclimatic conditions and the local terrain make the area into a foreboding and dark landscape, but players will need to pass through as the centerpiece of the upcoming patch 4.5. Of course, since that means invading the Empire from the Ala Mhigan side, you can be relatively sure that there will be a force of Garlean troops eager to repulse the would-be invaders…
Players can also learn a few more hints about the lore behind Blue Mage (apparently the art originates in the New World off to the West) and confirmation that the Garleans are also pushing forward into Ala Mhigo in retaliation. Check out the full special site for more screenshots and teases about the patch; we’ll no doubt learn more with the next live letter from Naoki Yoshida on December 21st.
