Final Fantasy XIV continues its dynamic evolution with the release of Patch 7.05, introducing a raft of new features and enhancements that promise to enrich the gaming experience. This latest update brings a new treasure dungeon, an exciting Savage raid tier, and comprehensive job changes to Square Enix’s ever-expanding MMORPG.

New Features in Patch 7.05

Released at the end of July, Patch 7.05 marks a significant addition to the Final Fantasy XIV universe with the introduction of the Cenote Ja Ja Gural treasure dungeon. Located in the mystical ruins of the Yak T’el region, this dungeon offers players a challenging adventure reminiscent of the popular Excite-A-Tron 6000 from the Endwalker expansion. Accessible through Timeworn Br’aaxskin Maps, Cenote Ja Ja Gural is optimized for full parties of eight, ensuring an engaging cooperative play experience.

Adding to the excitement, Patch 7.05 also launches the first Savage tier of The Arcadion raid series, named the AAC Light-Heavyweight Tier (Savage). This series presents players with four grueling boss fights, offering a formidable challenge and rewarding players with tokens for high-level armor pieces and accessories.

Job Changes and Enhancements

Patch 7.05 doesn’t just expand content but also adjusts the balance and functionality of several jobs to enhance gameplay fluidity and fairness. Notable adjustments include:

  • Monk: Following player feedback, the Monk’s Beast Chakra gauge has been updated, and core skills have been adjusted to improve gameplay mechanics.
  • Samurai: The Tsubame-gaeshi ability has been modified to increase its usability, although this has resulted in some nerfs to other Samurai skills.
  • Black Mage: Continuing adjustments from Patch 7.01, further changes to Umbral Soul and spells such as Fire IV, Paradox, and Flare have been implemented.
  • Paladin, Machinist, Ninja, and Dark Knight: These jobs have seen tweaks to their main skills to align them more closely with others in their respective roles.

Quality of Life Improvements and Bug Fixes

In addition to new content and job rebalancing, Patch 7.05 addresses a range of bugs and user interface issues to improve overall player experience. These fixes include corrections to graphics display for specific characters during cutscenes, adjustments to experience point bonuses for duty roulettes, and the proper application of visual effects for various in-game actions and items.

Conclusion

With its robust new features, job refinements, and dedication to resolving existing issues, Patch 7.05 reinforces Final Fantasy XIV’s commitment to delivering a rich and immersive gaming experience. As players explore the depths of Cenote Ja Ja Gural and test their mettle against the AAC Light-Heavyweight Tier (Savage), they can look forward to a continually evolving world filled with challenges and rewards. The future of Eorzea looks brighter than ever, with more updates on the horizon to keep the community engaged and invested.
