Yes, it’s time for the first patch to Final Fantasy XIV since its most recent expansion, and… oh, stop staring in dumbfounded shock and murmuring that you still aren’t finished with the main story, it’s not like that. Patch 5.01 will be arriving on Tuesday, but according to the official schedule, that means just unveiling the Normal version of the Eden raid, so the first four tiers will be available for players to explore and fight through. According to the schedule announced during the game’s last Letter from the Producer, you won’t even get the weekly limited tomestones yet.
The maintenance itself kicks off on July 16th at 1:00 a.m. EDT, so depending on your play schedule, it’s quite possible you won’t actually be impacted much. Still, if you’re one of the people who has already plowed through the main story and have already gotten knee-deep in running the game’s current Expert rotation, this will be something new to do with some new gear to pursue.Source: Official Site
