Final Fantasy 14 is getting its next patch pretty soon, and with it will come a bunch of content to get stuck into for pretty much every skill level. We have new MSQ story content to do, a new extreme to get stuck into, the final Alliance Raid of the FF11 crossover, and a big housing update for all the interior designers out there.
For the hardcore raiders, savage might be over, but the next Patch will bring a new Ultimate that will undoubtedly take up a few months of our lives. For the past few weeks, Yoshi-P and the team have been very secretive about exactly what this Ultimate would be, with many guessing a potential Hades Ultimate since the last one involved the Shadowbringers raid series.
FF14's Next Ultimate Is Taking Us Back To Stormblood
However, the latest Final Fantasy 14 trailer, revealed during today's Live Letter, has given us a big teaser. Right at the end of the trailer, we see the face of Kefka appear from the dark background, who then says, "Did you think you'd won? Guess I'll have to spice things up."
Final Fantasy 14's Next FanFest Will Talk More About "The Future Of FFXIV"
Yoshi-P is bigging up Final Fantasy 14's next FanFest, claiming that it will include details about what's to come beyond even 8.0.
For those that aren't aware, Kefka was the final fight in the Sigmascape raid series that was added post-Stormblood, so we are going back into the past rather than forward, like many people had predicted. It's also interesting that the Stormblood raids have already had an Ultimate before, with the Omega Ultimate, so it does open the door for Yoshi-P to revisit other raid series that have been done before.
As for what the Ultimate will entail, that we can only speculate on. We know that Ultimates usually take elements from several raids across the tier that it's from, so my best guess is that we might see Exdeath and others incorporated into the fight as well. We won't have to wait too long to find out though, as Yoshi-P has promised more details at this month's FanFest, including the all-important release date.
