Final Fantasy 14 Releases 6.58 Patch Notes

Amid a busy March, Final Fantasy 14 released the patch notes for its 6.58 content update, which covered some bug fixes and adjustments to a few Job actions in PVP. Final Fantasy 14 also confirmed that Patch 6.58 would allow players to gain rewards faster from the Thaleia alliance raid and The Abyssal Fracture (Extreme) trial.

Patch 6.58 is slated to be the last content update to Final Fantasy 14 until the release of the Dawntrail expansion in the summer, barring any technical issues. The 6.58 update also arrived two days before the expected launch of the Xbox Series X/S version of Final Fantasy 14. Just before the Xbox version went live, Square Enix confirmed that Xbox console players would be required to use a new currency called «FFXIV Coins» on the Mog Station and Online Store. However, this change was exclusive to the Xbox Series X/S game client, and other payment methods, including credit and debit cards, would be available on the desktop and mobile browser versions of the same storefronts.

Although the previous 6.57 content update laid the groundwork for the Xbox version, Final Fantasy 14 Patch 6.58 made more changes to the game. The Abyssal Fracture (Extreme) trial received some adjustments, as the drop rate of the Lynx of Abyssal Grief Flute was increased further. The flute can also be obtained from a vendor in Radz-at-Han for 99 Voidvessel Totems. In addition, the weekly limit on Thaleia Coins, Thaleia treasure coffers, and Unsung Blades of Anabaseios has been removed, making gearing up much quicker. As for PVP Job adjustments, the Paladin's defensive power was tuned down while its offensive firepower received a slight buff. Plus, the Dancer's Honing ovation had its power from Acclaim stacks decreased by 50%.

Though it was not mentioned in the patch notes, Final Fantasy 14 Patch 6.58 will also remove support for 32-bit operating systems and the DirectX9 client. Though the game could be played without guaranteed support for these deprecated platforms, Final
