In case you didn’t know it, just recently Square Enix launched the 4.2 patch “Rise of a New Sun” for their MMORPG “Final Fantasy XIV” (the 4.2 patch launched on the 30th of January for PC and PS4). Well, I for one did not know about this. So I got quite pleasantly surprised when one of Square Enix’s Nordic PR-folks informed me about this matter. Anyways, here are the highlights for FF XIV’s “Rise of a New Sun” patch (I have added the “Rise of a New Sun” trailer further down the page):

New Story Scenario: Rise of a new sun
Thanks to the Warrior of Light’s heroic deeds and Raubahn’s long-awaited return, Ala Mhigo continues its steady march towards recovery. Yet there is no rest for the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, for the winds of trouble are blowing from the Far East, where an unexpected spark threatens to set the kindling of chaos ablaze. Can Doma survive the brewing firestorm to welcome the light of the new day?

New dungeon: Hells’ Lid
Having found themselves in somewhat dire financial straits, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are on the lookout for profitable ventures. Fortuitously, one appears to have presented itself: an anonymous missive from an individual seeking the aid of the warrior who laid low the Lord of the Revel. But before they will divulge the details, they would put your abilities to the proof. To wit, you are to venture into the hidden depths of Hells’ Lid, a volcanic island once home to a host of oni─at least, according to ancient legend…

New dungeon: Fractal Continuum
The Fractal Continuum plays host to both technological marvels and chimerical horrors conceived through the unparalleled ingenuity of the Allagans. And while its facilities have remained dormant since a recent endeavor to salvage materials, Garlond Ironworks has detected a peculiar energy signature emanating from within. Few would dare even ponder what monstrosities yet stir within, but the Warrior of Light need not wonder. The Ironworks has beseeched their aid to investigate the resurgence of activity within the ancient Allagan museum.

New side story: The Jade Stoa
Legend tells of a peerless samurai who, at the behest of a king, ventured forth to drive a host of oni into the sea. Yet for all his strength, Tenzen could not do this alone, and so he turned to the Four Lords─greatest of the auspices─for assistance. Together they succeeded, and afterwards journeyed west, far from the realms of men, to live out their days in solitude. A faerie tale, perhaps…but often in such tales a kernel of truth can be found.
