SQUARE ENIX® today launched FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Patch 6.25. The new patch includes the premiere of Variant and Criterion dungeons, the continuation of the Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures side missions, the commencement of the Manderville weapon upgrade quest series, and more. Players may also look forwards to this year’s All Saints’ Wake in-game seasonal event, which runs from October 19th to November 1st.


Here are some of the details:
- New Side Story Quests – Further Hildibrand Adventures continue in Patch 6.25.
- New Weapon Enhancement Quests – Throughout the Patch 6.x series, which begins with the Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures questline, players can collect and improve Manderville Weapons.
- New Tribal Quests: Omicron – New Disciples of the Land daily quests have been added.
- New “Variant Dungeons” Battle Content – Beginning with the Sil’dihn Subterrane, players may explore new variable-complexity dungeons suited for 1-4 people, with the difficulty of foes increasing based on party size. Players will explore dungeons with Nanamo, which have branching pathways that can vary based on player activities within the dungeon. Folios may also be gathered from each path and stitched together to reveal mysteries and complete the tale.
- Criterion Dungeons – High-difficulty four-player content with a visually comparable location to Variant Dungeons but with a predetermined route. Criterion dungeons will have two difficulty levels, each with its own set of rules and features.


Along with the update, the All Saints’ Wake in-game seasonal event will return on October 19th. Players will be tasked with journeying to Gridania to participate in a series of spooky event missions to gain interesting new goodies until November 1st. Click here for more information.
