Known Issues After Patch 6.3 (Jan. 13)-

The following issues have been confirmed.
We are currently investigating and working to address these issues.

【Current Known Issues】

■Under certain conditions, when actions that deliver attacks to “all enemies in a cone before you” and “all enemies in a straight line before you” are aimed at a specific target, the AOE attack is aimed in the direction the character is facing rather than the target. Furthermore, the attack also hits the target itself.

*This doesn’t mean that the AOE attack is performed in the direction the character is facing AND the direction to which the target is located. Instead, the AOE attack is performed in the direction the character is facing AND hits the target itself.

Our investigation to this point has revealed that the problem is related to the core system processing of targets/actions, and that this has been the case since patch 4.2, although the timing of when this processing began to affect different contents varies. Therefore, it is expected to take a while to fix this issue, as it requires detailed modifications for each action in addition to the core processing modifications.

However, we believe that the PvP content and limit breaks that are most affected need to be addressed as soon as possible, so we will prioritise the most affected areas as follows and proceed to address them in turn.

▼Patch 6.31
・PvP Actions
The accuracy and damage determination of frontal area of effect attacks toward the target will be fixed, even if under certain conditions.

・Limit Break
Under certain conditions, area attacks will continue to be initiated in the direction in which the character is facing and will take tentative measures to prevent attacks from hitting targets other than the direction the character is facing.

▼Patch 6.4 and after
For the actions affected by this issue, we will implement a formal response to match the internal process to be corrected, so under certain conditions, all actions will operate without issue.
　*A notification will be sent as soon as the fix is completed.

We apologise for the inconvenience and ask for your patience while we work to address this issue. Please be careful not to use this issue intentionally.

■In the Island Sanctuary, although fulfilling the conditions, certain animals will not appear.

*We have confirmed that prior to Patch 6.3, this problem occurred to characters who had exited the Island Sanctuary while these animals spawned when conditions were met.
As the characters affected by this issue are unable to encounter these certain animals until the fix is implemented, we are working quickly to investigate and address the issue.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and ask for your patience until the issue is addressed should you encounter this problem.

■In the raid dungeon Alphascape V4.0 (Savage), certain action indicator effects when the boss uses the actions "Diffuse Wave Cannon" and "Oversampled Wave Cannon" are not displayed.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

News Update!
Regarding the End of macOS Catalina Support (Jan. 16)-

Thank you for your continued support of FINAL FANTASY XIV.

Square Enix support for the macOS Catalina version of FINAL FANTASY XIV will end on Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

You will likely be able to play FINAL FANTASY XIV on macOS Catalina even after the end of support. However, after we discontinue support, we will as a general rule no longer be able to provide support for problems arising as a result of the operating system.

Square Enix may respond to requests for technical support regarding macOS Catalina issues after the end of support, but such informal support will be limited, on a case-by-case basis, and is not guaranteed.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

News Update!
Regarding Data Recovery for Disbandment and Dismissals that occurred with Cross-world Linkshell, PvP team, and Fellowship (Jan. 24)-

We would like to share details regarding the data recovery performed in Patch 6.31 for the following issue that was addressed in the Sep. 1, 2022 Hotfixes.

■Issue details
There were cases where the Cross-world Linkshell, PvP team, or fellowship was disbanded if the owner (Cross-world Linkshell/fellowship: Master, PvP team: Team leader) had no more subscription days on their account and their character was withdrawn.

■Data recovery performed on disbanded PvP teams
For PvP teams that were disbanded due to this issue, we have performed data recovery for teams that can be recovered.
Data recovery was not performed for teams where the team leader or members have already joined another PvP team, so please reform the team or take other measures as necessary.

As of Patch 6.31, we have completed data recovery for all disbandment and dismissals due to this issue

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience while the matter was being addressed.

[Important]Important Notice About Purchases and Subscriptions

In late February, we are planning to change the payment processor used for making purchases on the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Store, and Square Enix Account Management sites. This change should not have an impact on the majority of purchases, but we wanted to clearly inform and communicate any potential changes to customers.

This change should not impact customers who currently have a recurring subscription plan. However, any future updates to an existing recurring subscription, such as starting a new recurring subscription or making updates to the payment method on existing recurring subscriptions, will be processed through the new payment processor. Switching an existing recurring subscription plan to the new payment processor will require the re-registration of the payment method. Although the current payment processor will continue to be available for a period of time following the change, we recommend updating any active recurring subscription after the change occurs., This will help prevent any account access disruptions when the current payment processor is no longer available.

Furthermore, some existing payment methods will no longer be available following the change. While we hope to reintroduce some of the discontinued payment methods over time, we recommend considering alternate payment methods in the meantime. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please see below for the affected payment methods (Please note: some payment methods are not available in all countries).

Unavailable Payment Methods: JCB, Carte Bleue, SEPA (Sofort)
Available Payment Methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Paysafecard

Customers may also notice other minor differences following the change: credit card charges may appear differently on billing statements, or banks may request fraud verification for purchases that used to be approved without such additional steps. While the changes should not impact purchases, we do recommend that our customers review any charges made after the change for due diligence purposes, and to ensure any charges are for purchases made from Square Enix.

It is possible that with the change in payment processor, transactions that were previously successful are now declined. In such cases, please contact the Square Enix Support Centre (https://sqex.to/globalsupport) so we may investigate and resolve the matter with you.

If you have any questions or concerns about the changes described in this announcement, please contact the Square Enix Support Centre (https://sqex.to/globalsupport).

[Important]Temporary Suspension of Automatic Housing Demolition

From all of us on the FFXIV development and management team, our hearts go out to those who were affected by the massive earthquake that occurred in southeastern Turkey on Monday, February 6.

Due to the damages and other factors, we have decided to temporarily suspend the automatic demolition of estates.
The timer has been stopped again after a short period in light of the damage and circumstances of the people affected by the disaster. We ask for your consideration and understanding.

Date and Time Auto-Demolition Counter Will be Suspended:
Feb. 9, 2023 17:25 (GMT) / Feb. 10, 2023 4:25 (AEDT)

Worlds in Which Auto-Demolition Will Be Suspended: All Chaos/Light Data Centre Worlds

  • After the above date and time, the counter will stop completely.
  • If your estate or land is currently being prepared for auto-demolition, you can cancel this status by entering your estate or constructing an estate on your land.
  • When the Auto-Demolition Counter resumes it will resume from the time remaining as of the temporary suspension. (Excludes estates/lands where the demolition process has been cancelled.)

As for when auto-demolition will resume, we will monitor the situation in the coming days, and inform you all when we have come to a decision that auto-demolition can commence again.

It is our sincere hope that recovery is swift, and those of you who were affected will be able to rejoin us in Eorzea soon.

Known Issues After Patch 6.38 (Apr. 6)-

We have confirmed the following issue.
We are currently investigating and ask for your patience as we work to resolve the issue.

[Confirmed Issue]

-Graphics are not displaying correctly when Lalafell, Hrothgar, and Roegadyn (males) equip the following equipment or use it as glamour.
・Valentione rose ribboned gloves
・Valentione forget-me-not ribboned gloves
・Valentione acacia ribboned gloves

*It has been confirmed that the cause of this issue is the result of some of the processes (due to be released in Patch 6.4 to fix the equipment listed above so the character’s skin would show) being accidentally included with Patch 6.38.
As there is not enough time to implement and verify the application of the aforementioned fix quickly in Patch 6.38 Hotfix, we plan to address this issue by applying the originally planned processes in Patch 6.4.

We apologise for the delay and ask for your understanding.

・If you are using a gamepad that is recognized as a sound device such as "DUALSHOCK 4" or "DualSense", please try and disable the corresponding sound device from the sound settings of your computer.

If the above does not resolve the issue, please also try the following:

・Remove your gamepad and see if it resolves.

News Update!
[Follow-up]Issue with Sound Not Playing Under Certain Conditions on the Windows® version (May 25)

We would like to report on the current status of our investigation and response regarding the issue preventing sound from playing under certain conditions on the Windows® version.

■Details and Cause of this Issue

In our investigation, we have determined that the issue is caused when the sound device is not being recognized by the computer, and the sound reset process in the game client is executed. This causes the processing of sound to freeze, as a result, the sounds stop playing and the game client cannot be closed properly when trying to exit.

Issues due to this process have been present since Patch 6.0 and have been working without significant impact until now, but there is a high possibility that a different internal process that was changed in Patch 6.4 has triggered this issue.

Depending on the combination of devices, PC usage, and other differences in the environment, the issue may or may not occur in some cases, making it difficult to investigate and identify the cause. However, thanks to the numerous reports we received from the players, we were able to isolate the problem and identify the cause. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

■Prospects for Resolving this Issue

We will continue to prioritize the resolution of this issue, but since it is a core component of sound processing, the following measures will be necessary, and it is expected to take up to two weeks to address this issue.

・Predict possible device combinations in PC environments
・Pattern verification of several PC environments
・Verification of the completion of the fixes in these combinations

We are aware that some players are refraining from progressing through the main scenario until the issue is addressed, and we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. However, we are striving to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and kindly ask for your patience until then.

■Temporary Workaround

Please attempt to use the following previously reported method which depending on the environment, may temporarily allow you to circumvent the issue.

・If you are using a gamepad that is recognized as a sound device such as "DUALSHOCK 4" or "DualSense", please try and disable the corresponding sound device from the sound settings of your computer and restart the client.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Temporarily Dividing Field Instances in "Thavnair”-

We have received several reports that the monsters in Thavnair, which are necessary to complete the quest, are easily being KO'd in the "By Agents Unknown" side quest, making it difficult to progress through the quest.

We determined that the fastest and most feasible way to deal with this issue is to increase the number of target monsters, and to divide "Thavnair" into field instances. "Thavnair" has consequently been divided into field instances on all worlds on Jul. 18, 2023 at 12:35 (GMT)/
/Jul. 18, 2023 at 13:35 (BST) / Jul. 18, 2023 at 22:35 (AEST).

You can move to any instance by moving the area as usual or by accessing aetheryte and specifying the instance number, and we hope you will be able to use any available instance. In addition, you can check the current field instance area name by using the text command "/instance".

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Fan Festival Bonus Item Delivery-

We are expecting some delays in the delivery of in-game items for bonus item codes and optional item purchases after FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival 2023–2024 bonus items codes are sent out and items are made available for purchase.
Please take the following into consideration before purchasing any optional items.

【Make enough free space to receive your Mog Letters】
Please make sure you have enough free space to receive items before making a purchase by taking items from any letters you have received in the "Purchases & Rewards" tab and deleting the letters afterwards.
*Please note that if you have purchased multiple items, they will be sent to you in separate letters. Please make sure that you have freed up enough space.

You can only receive a total of 20 Mog Letters related to bonus items, optional items, or gift items. If you do not have enough free space, the system will attempt to redeliver the items at another time. The time taken between each attempt to redeliver optional items may be extended in order to reduce the server load this process has on the general delivery system.

◆Delivery timing of optional items
The delivery time of optional items varies depending on the type of purchase.

・Items purchased for single characters
　　→ Items will be delivered immediately after purchase
　・Account-wide item purchases
　　→ Log in with a character after purchase to have the item delivered to that character

With account-wide item purchases, you must log in with the character after making the purchase in order to receive the item. Please be sure to log out and then log back in again if the purchase was made whilst logged in to FINAL FANTASY XIV.
Please note that if you purchased both types of optional items, the items may be delivered at different times due to the nature of the delivery system.

【Checking the status of the optional item purchases】
You can check the status on the Mog Station via "Payment History".

Please note item deliveries may be delayed during peak times. If you have still not received your items despite confirming all of the above points, please be advised that it can take up to 24 hours before items are delivered.

We would like to report on the current status of the following issue.

We asked for reports concerning this issue as it may depend on the environment and have received many reports from our players. We are deeply grateful for your cooperation.
Upon investigating with the provided information, we were able to confirm that the issue only occurs in certain environments.

These characters will receive 50 million gil, a copy of Tales of Adventure: Shadowbringers, and Tales of Adventure III (level 80) for each job to instantly access as many in-game features as possible. There will be no limits on content, and players are free to explore the realm as they choose.* Please note that all character data on the cloud servers will be deleted when the test has concluded.We ask our players for their assistance by participating in this stress test, and will strive to improve our service, as well as our usage of the cloud data center, based on the feedback provided.Cloud Data Center Stress TestTest PeriodFrom Tuesday, 21 November at 3:00 (GMT) / 14:00 (AEDT) to Tuesday, 28 November at 3:00 (GMT) / 14:00 (AEDT)* There will be no maintenance prior to the opening of the cloud data center.Cloud Server LocationNorth America (East Coast)How to ParticipateFrom the title screen, access the Data Center Selection screen and select NA Cloud DC (Beta), then select either the CloudTest01 or CloudTest02 Worlds to create a character and play the game.Read on for details.

New Year's Greetings!

Happy New Year to all our FFXIVers!This is Producer & Director Naoki Yoshida.How has everyone been enjoying this special time of year? I imagine many of you are relaxing and playing games, or spending time with friends and family at lively holiday gatherings. As for the FFXIV team here in Japan, well...we've been flat out getting things ready for Fan Festival 2024 in Tokyo. Fast asleep or wide awake, the words "fan festival" and "7.0" have taken up constant residence in our thoughts. (lol)Having returned to its world-wide tour format this year, Fan Festival has been bigger and better than ever─it was a huge success in Europe and the U.S., and we'll be making preparations right up until the last moment to ensure that everyone enjoys the conclusion to the tour in Tokyo. Whether you attend in person or watch events via streaming, we hope to put on an exciting show no matter where you'll be viewing from. And even though the venue is the magnificent Tokyo Dome, you can expect the same sort of FFXIV shenanigans we always deliver! (lol)With the 10th anniversary of FFXIV's rebirth behind us, we are taking the first determined step towards our next ten years of service. We've been accompanied on this epic journey by Warriors of Light from across the globe, and we intend to maintain that partnership by placing an even greater value on communication as we expand the world of FFXIV. This next step is a big one, full of brand new challenges, and I am personally excited to see everyone experience what we have in store this coming year!...And what do have we here? Even as I look to escape the pressures of the Fan Festival keynote speech, it seems someone has delivered a most curious note to my office...

[Important]Temporary Suspension of Automatic Housing Demolition

From all of us on the FFXIV development and management team, our hearts go out to those who were affected by the massive earthquake that occurred in Noto Peninsula on January 1st, Monday.

Due to the damages and other factors, we have decided to temporarily suspend the automatic demolition of estates.

Date and Time Auto-Demolition Counter Will be Suspended:
Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 11:23 (GMT)
Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 22:23 (AEDT)

Worlds in Which Auto-Demolition Will Be Suspended: All the worlds under Elemental Data Centre/Gaia Data Centre/Mana Data Centre/Meteor Data Centre

  • After the above date and time, the counter will stop completely.
  • If your estate or land is currently being prepared for auto-demolition, you can cancel this status by entering your estate or constructing an estate on your land.
  • When the Auto-Demolition Counter resumes it will resume from the time remaining as of the temporary suspension. (Excludes estates/lands where the demolition process has been cancelled.)

As for when auto-demolition will resume, we will monitor the situation in the coming days, and inform you all when we have come to a decision that auto-demolition can commence again.

It is our sincere hope that recovery is swift, and those of you who were affected will be able to rejoin us in FFXIV soon.

Upcoming Test of Cross-region Data Center Travel

Since its introduction, the Data Center Travel system has allowed players to visit Worlds within the same physical data center. For example, players in the European data center are able to visit Worlds in Chaos and Light. As previously announced, our system is capable of facilitating cross-region travel, but we are still evaluating this functionality in light of the often substantial differences in market economy and social norms between data centers. We will continue to take community feedback into account as we consider whether this functionality should be enabled.On the other hand, many Worlds may experience login queues following the upcoming release of Dawntrail, especially during peak times. With this situation in mind, we are considering a temporary option in which a limited form of cross-region travel would allow players to play on a less-populated physical data center.Thus, to identify potential technical issues ahead of Dawntrail's release, we will be conducting a public test of cross-region Data Center Travel functionality starting Monday, 25 March (GMT/AEDT). Players connecting from geographically distant locations may experience some lag, but we hope you will take this opportunity to explore playing on a different physical data center.Test PeriodMonday, 25 March at 3:00 (GMT) / 14:00 (AEDT) until the beginning of Patch 7.0 maintenance* Test period is subject to change.Cross-region Travel Available During the Test:Japanese data center → Oceanian data centerNorth American data center → Oceanian data centerEuropean data center → Oceanian data center* Characters with a Home World in the Oceanian data center will be unable to travel to a different physical data center.* Please note that although characters will be able to return to their Home World from the Oceanian data center even after the test has concluded, their ability to return may be temporarily impeded by periods of server congestion, including any that may arise during the release of Dawntrail.* Please note that your Lodestone character data will not account for friend list, blacklist, and cross-world linkshell registrations made while visiting another physical data center. Additionally, you cannot join Community Finder recruitments for cross-world linkshells on other physical data centers.

[Important]Important Update About Purchases and Subscriptions

The change to the payment processor used for purchases on the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Store and Square Enix Account Management sites is scheduled to be implemented on April 23, 2024. This should not have an impact on most purchases, but we want to share some information to help make the transition as smooth as possible.

After April 23, 2024, we will be confirming the address for the account for payment security purposes. You can confirm and update your registered address by logging into the Square Enix Account Management System and accessing the “Account Information” section from the "Account" menu.

This change should not have an impact on customers who have a recurring subscription. However, customer payments will begin using the new payment processor as soon as any change is made to an existing subscription plan, such as changing the payment method, or setting up a new recurring subscription. We recommend making changes to your account after April 24, 2024 to prevent any disruption.

Please note that some payment methods that are currently offered will not be available after the transition. While we are planning to add more payment methods in the future, for now you will need to choose from the available payment methods:

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Amazon Pay, and Paysafecard

Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept JCB, Carte Bleue, SEPA (ELV). We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We recommend due diligence when reviewing charges after the change to ensure they are from Square Enix for purchases you made. You may notice that credit card charges appear differently on your bank statement, or your bank may request additional fraud verification for new purchases.

In cases where a transaction is declined, you encounter error messages, or you have any other difficulties with payments, please contact the Square Enix Support Center (https://sqex.to/s5G9O) so we can assist you.

[Important]Be Wary of Phishing Attempts via In-game Messages

As we have mentioned in the past, we have confirmed that certain individuals are attempting to direct players to fake login websites imitating the Square Enix Account Management System or FINAL FANTASY XIV-related websites in an effort to steal (also known as “phishing”) information such as Square Enix Account ID and password, as well as date of birth.

The following are some recent examples of Tell messages which direct random players to scamming websites by pretending to invite them to a campaign on the official forums.

Example 1:
300M raffle giveaway starting in 15mins, post a number 1-30 on the FFXIV forum thread to enter https://■■.square-enix■■.com.■■/ffxiv/forums/

The fake URL is pretending to link to the official forum, but has an unusual string of characters in the ■. The URL for our official forums is https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/.

Example 2:
300M raffle giveaway starting in 15mins: twitch.tv/■■■■■
Some phishing methods direct users to external websites such as Twitch, then redirect them to a fake forum link from there.

We have confirmed that even accounts using one-time passwords are susceptible to these scams. Since these fake websites require you to enter your one-time password as well, this allows scammers to gain access to your Square Enix account, password, and one-time password. Although one-time passwords are meant to be used only once, entering a one-time password into a fake website merely exposes it to the scammers and does not count as having been used. Scammers can then use the stolen one-time password to log in to your account.

The examples above are just some of the characteristics of scams we have confirmed. However, it is highly likely that scammers will continuously change their phishing methods. Whenever a website asks for your account information, please exercise caution and verify that you are not entering sensitive account information into a fake website.

Please review the following "Be Wary of Suspicious URLs and Websites" page for additional information:
https://sqex.to/1r8aS

  • Please review the following "Precautions for Guarding Against Unauthorised Account Access" page below:
    https://sqex.to/MM90P

In order to protect your data and personal information, we urge everyone to be cautious when handling account information such as their Square Enix ID and password.

Addition of Probationary European Logical Data Center and Worlds

A new logical data center, Shadow, will be added to the European Data Center on Tuesday, June 11 around 3:00 a.m. (PDT) with one additional World than originally announced, for a total of four Worlds. These Worlds will be released as probationary Worlds to mitigate the congestion that may arise with Dawntrail's launch and will only be available for the purposes of Data Center Travel. Probationary Worlds will be restricted from new character creation and the Home World Transfer Service but will otherwise function as regular Worlds where players will be able to enjoy their usual activities, such as undertaking quests and duties, or matchmaking via the Duty Finder. We hope these Worlds will serve as helpful alternatives when your usual data center is congested.Furthermore, probationary Worlds will be classified as "Congested" on the Lodestone server status page. This classification are intended to indicate their restrictions on new character creation and Home World Transfer, rather than the actual congestion status of these Worlds.We will be carefully monitoring the number of concurrent logins, and will follow up with a separate announcement in the event that new character creation and Home World Transfer restrictions are lifted from probationary Worlds.Probationary European Logical Data CenterShadowProbationary Worlds in the Shadow Data Center

Regarding Server Congestion Status (Jun. 28)-

Thank you for playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail.

Since the start of early access on Friday, June 28, 2024, we have been experiencing extraordinary player counts, but the logins have been exceptionally smooth thus far due to our data center expansions, additional Worlds, and improvements to server performance.

However, we are noticing concentrated logins on certain Worlds which are beginning to reach their login capacity, particularly the Worlds on the Aether Data Center (North American DC) and the Phoenix World on the Light Data Center (European DC).

The login queues are stable, and although they may appear to be moving slowly or the countdown numbers may not seem to be progressing, we have confirmed the queue is steadily moving forward as intended. Should you run into a long login queue, please consider logging into a relatively less congested World via Data Center Travel or the World Visit System.

As we recently announced, congestion measures are temporarily in place for Data Center Travel and the World Visit System. Please refer to the following announcement for further details regarding these temporary measures.

■ Regarding Congestion During Dawntrail's Launch
https://sqex.to/CWeNw

We will continue monitoring the situation in hopes that FINAL FANTASY XIV will continue to be enjoyed by as many players as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime and appreciate your patience regarding the congestion situation.

Thank you for your cooperation in easing congestion since the start of Dawntrail early access.

In recognition of all the players who have cooperated in easing congestion, and in acknowledgement that there are a large number of you playing in data centers other than your home World, we are temporarily suspending the automatic housing removal counter as follows until congestion has abated.

Date and Time Auto-Demolition Counter Will be Suspended:
Jun. 29, 2024 6:15 (GMT)

Worlds in Which Auto-Demolition Will Be Suspended:
All Worlds
(This is already in effect for different reasons on JP data centres)

  • After the above date and time, the counter will stop completely.
  • If your estate or land is currently being prepared for auto-demolition, you can cancel this status by entering your estate or constructing an estate on your land.
  • When the Auto-Demolition Counter resumes it will resume from the time remaining as of the temporary suspension. (Excludes estates/lands where the demolition process has been canceled.)

As for when auto-demolition will resume, we will monitor the situation in the coming days, and inform you all when we have come to a decision that auto-demolition can commence again.

[Current Known Issue]
■ When sending a chat message or emote ("/emote") including the name of a targeted character that was added to your blacklist, the character name will appear as "Unknown" in the chat box message.

[Follow-up]Recommencement of Automatic Demolition (Jul. 10)

In light of the current situation, the automatic demolition of estates, which was halted temporarily, will resume with the release of Patch 7.01 on July 16, 2024.
*An All Worlds Maintenance is scheduled for the Patch 7.01 release. Since the timer will resume during maintenance, there is a possibility that auto-demolition of your estate may occur during this maintenance, depending on the number of days you had remaining.

Regarding the Japanese Data Centre, auto-demolition had already been suspended there for other reasons, as you know, but will resume as scheduled with Patch 7.01.

Known Issue After Patch 7.01 (Jul. 16)-

We have identified the issue below.
This issue is being investigated and addressed, and additional information will follow as the situation develops.

[Current Known Issue]

  • After summoning a retainer, the number of gil/items owned by the retainer shown in the menus "Entrust or withdraw items." and "Entrust or withdraw gil." is displayed incorrectly.

*For Patch 7.1, we were working on displaying the number of gil/items possessed by the retainer in the menu appearing after summoning said retainer. However, we have confirmed that the text for Patch 7.1 has been included in the data for Patch 7.01. The numbers are displayed incorrectly since there is no system to reference the number of gil/items possessed by the retainer.

We will remove the data that was mixed up during patch 7.05 and implement it correctly in patch 7.1.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

News Update!
Known Issues with some Summoner/Scholar Traits (Sep. 6)-

We have identified the issues below with the Summoner's "Arcane Mastery" trait and the Scholar's "Enhanced Healing Magic" trait.

■Summoner Trait "Arcane Mastery"
The potency would not be raised for the following abilities:
・Inferno
・Earthen Fury
・Aerial Blast

■Scholar Trait "Enhanced Healing Magic"
The potency for healing and shielding effect would not be raised for the following abilities:
・Embrace
・Seraphic Veil

After investigating this issue when adjusting the battle balance in the development environment, we have confirmed that the figures obtained without any increase in potency or healing/shielding effect were used as the correct figures for the balance adjustment for the jobs in question.

However, since the issue is not having any direct impact to battle balance as it is now with its current values, it will instead be fixed in tandem with job adjustments in Patch 7.1.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

[Important]Temporary Suspension of Automatic Housing Demolition

From all of us on the FFXIV development and management team, our hearts go out to those who were affected late last month by Hurricane Helene in North America.

Due to the damages and other factors, we have decided to temporarily suspend the automatic demolition of estates.

Date and Time Auto-Demolition Counter Will be Suspended:
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 8:08 (GMT)
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 9:08 (BST)
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 18:08 (AEST)

Worlds in Which Auto-Demolition Will Be Suspended: All the worlds under
Aether Data Center/Crystal Data Center/Dynamis Data Center/Primal Data Center

  • After the above date and time, the counter will stop completely.
  • If your estate or land is currently being prepared for auto-demolition, you can cancel this status by entering your estate or constructing an estate on your land.
  • When the Auto-Demolition Counter resumes it will resume from the time remaining as of the temporary suspension. (Excludes estates/lands where the demolition process has been canceled.)

As for when auto-demolition will resume, we will monitor the situation in the coming days, and inform you all when we have come to a decision that auto-demolition can commence again.

It is our sincere hope that recovery is swift, and those of you who were affected will be able to rejoin us in FFXIV soon.

[Important]Temporary Suspension of Automatic Housing Demolition

From all of us on the FFXIV development and management team, our hearts go out to those in Spain who were affected late last month by the flooding from torrential rain.

Due to the damages and other factors, we have decided to temporarily suspend the automatic demolition of estates.

Date and Time Auto-Demolition Counter Will be Suspended:
Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024 12:33 a.m. (PST)
Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024 8:33 (GMT)
Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024 19:33 (AEDT)

Worlds in Which Auto-Demolition Will Be Suspended: All the worlds under Chaos Data Centre/Light Data Centre

  • After the above date and time, the counter will stop completely.
  • If your estate or land is currently being prepared for auto-demolition, you can cancel this status by entering your estate or constructing an estate on your land.
  • When the Auto-Demolition Counter resumes it will resume from the time remaining as of the temporary suspension. (Excludes estates/lands where the demolition process has been cancelled.)

As for when auto-demolition will resume, we will monitor the situation in the coming days, and inform you all when we have come to a decision that auto-demolition can commence again.

It is our sincere hope that recovery is swift, and those of you who were affected will be able to rejoin us in FFXIV soon.
