Summary
Notably, theArcadion raid inFinal Fantasy 14has become a favorite in the community, especially its second boss, Honey B. Lovely. While the Arcadion will only release its second wing in Patch 7.2, players can expect to see the first Alliance Raid forDawntrailin Crossroads. Known as Echoes of Vana’diel, the new Alliance Raid series was teased prior toDawntrail’s launch, and will be a homage toFinal Fantasy 11. Patch 7.1 will take players to Jeuno for the first Alliance Raid, but that’s hardly all that Crossroads will offer.
Slated for launch in November 2024 (either on November 12 or November 19), Patch 7.1 forFinal Fantasy 14will also introduce a new type of battle content – Chaotic Alliance Raids. Described as a difficulty between Extreme Trials andSavage Raids inFinal Fantasy 14, Chaotic is designed with 24 players in mind, and will reinvent boss fights from old Alliance Raids as true endgame content. The first Chaotic Alliance Raid will feature the Cloud of Darkness as its sole encounter, and will demand a new level of cooperation fromFinal Fantasy 14players.

In addition to the Chaotic Alliance Raid,Final Fantasy 14players in search of a challenge can look forward to the new Ultimate, Futures Rewritten, which will be themed around the Eden Raids and will feature Ryne. The new Unreal trial will kick off with the Four Lords fromStormblood, with Byakko as the featured boss of Patch 7.1. However, perhaps the most exciting part of Crossroads happens to be the newquality-of-life changes added toFinal Fantasy 14and its housing system.
Starting from Patch 7.1, players will be able to change the interior design of theirhouse inFinal Fantasy 14, and even remove the infamous columns that the default designs have.

Patch 7.1 will also feature new Allied Society quests, the first part ofDawntrail’s Hildibrand Adventures, new Custom Deliveries in Shaaloani, the Extreme Trial for Sphene, and extensive updates to all PvP jobs outside Pictomancer and Viper.
