[Guide] Patch 7.5 Content Timeline
46
u/alkonium [Athal Arda - Diabolos] Mar 13 '26
I'm guessing Dusk Vigil and Shisui of the Violet Tides will be the last retroactive Duty Support additions. After that it's just post-release non-MSQ dungeons.
30
u/talgaby Mar 13 '26
The levelling roulette is covered now. If they continue, then they will likely do the high-level roulette, starting from Wanderer's Palace and Pharos Sirius. So, in a scant 17 major patches, they will reach Dawntrail content.
19
u/Isanori Mar 13 '26
My guess is actually trials, to make that MSQ soloable.
→ More replies (6)9
u/Afeastfordances Mar 13 '26
Trial would make more sense — doing these dungeons made solo leveling possible, trials would make solo MSQ possible, the remaining dungeons are pure side material — but they’d be a way heavier lift. 8 players and generally more advanced mechanics even on normal. They don’t even routinely make new trials duty support compatible.

u/alkonium [Athal Arda - Diabolos] Mar 13 '26
Except that post-release non-MSQ dungeons didn't get Duty Support in expansions after it was introduced.
5
u/mapletree23 Mar 13 '26
it should be, i think those were the only two dungeons in memory that had currents attached so all of the MSQ and those things should now be covered, they could I guess do the other max level dungeons but I don't think there's a need to in any rush
2
u/alkonium [Athal Arda - Diabolos] Mar 13 '26
The fact that the max level non-MSQ dungeons in Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and Dawntrail down have it suggests there's no plan for it.

u/PhDVa Mar 13 '26
I'm still hoping for a remaster of the Bahamut raids.

u/yahikodrg Mar 14 '26
Yea this is my big ask as well. Just make a normal mode for Coils not only would allow people to experience the story at the appropriate moment in the story but also unlock raid roulette at 50 instead of 60.

Idk whatever goes on Dusk Vigil, I think it's a rather nothing burger dungeon, and the first boss is an asshole.

duty support didn't change mt gulg's spicy wall to walls either. idk why it would when you can always choose how much you pull, it's not any barrier to progression. honestly big duty support pulls are typically harder than doing it in the duty finder lol

u/Polderjoch Mar 13 '26
at most I can see wanderer's palace ekeing one out, as even though it's not a levelling dungeon it is the only level *0 dungeon available before credits, since it can be unlocked before finishing ARR

It's been known for years that the money is going elsewhere. SQEX has funded countless shitty projects with the funds from FFXIV that all crashed and burned because they were just chasing fads. Then they said "yo work on a second game" like Yoshida was Nomura, who gets a bad rap BECAUSE SQEX TOLD HIM TO MAKE OTHER GAMES INSTEAD OF THE ONE EVERYONE WAITED FOR. They've been fooling around because the steady flow of cash isn't stopping despite the problems the game/team has.

u/Vequithan Mar 13 '26
Seriously. 50 capturable creatures and being allowed a team pf 3 where your tactics will change depending on loadout. Seems like they realized early on how much they were getting themselves into and decided to make BST their full focus.
It makes sense seeing as all BLU would get would be lvl 81-90 spells from EW. My guess is that they only kept mentioning it because they figured they might have time at the end to add it in but underestimated everything involved to get BST going in a presentable way.

That's the ideal scenario. The more likely scenario is that if it stops being cash cow they'll cut even more corners and just put it in maintenance mode while they gamble their remaining funds chasing some other stupid trends like NFTs and AI.

u/VirtualPen204 Mar 13 '26

I don't think it's weird but what was weird was them both seeming to be intended for a single patch and then them running out of time on it. I guess the benefit of it being in 8.x means they can quickly get us to the new world in the same story rather than splitting it in two.

u/Sir__Will Mar 13 '26
depends. They may stick to 10 more levels instead of upping it to 20, hard to say. I don't think there will be more than 1 BLU update next expansion.

u/14raider Mar 13 '26
Its ever so slightly easier content-wise for them to catch up that way honestly. Less expectation for as many skills as were made available in 50>60, 60>70, 70>80. Only one duty instead of a duty for each set of 10 levels. 1 fewer gearset to make available, ie skipping 90 entirely.
And then we have 2 full savage tiers to run through for achievements at once
Its not a big difference but its measurable and significant enough to make it take less total work. Honestly a cadence of blu one expac, bst the next could work out depending how long the game continues running

u/Dironiil Selene, no! Come back! Mar 13 '26
I don't think it's spaggheti code. It's probably a storage issue, thus rolling it out over time to continuously test the capacity of the servers. The Armoire is basically a glam catalogue, since it has not maximum slots, so they need to make their data systems more robust the more things they allow in there.
My hopeful guess: this + the outfit system is hinting at a revamp of the glam system into an actual catalogue eventually, where they are releasing "partial features" to test how well it behaves on live servers.

u/groundr Mar 13 '26
If I had to hazard a guess, it's that dungeon gear is coded so differently from non-dungeon gear in a way that makes turning into Glamour dresser "sets" is too hard for them to do. But that's just a guess.

u/Sir__Will Mar 13 '26
Yeah. But that means no dyes and... well, they better implement better sorting/grouping for the armoire.
→ More replies (1)10
u/DavThoma [Davryn] [Thoma] on [Siren] Mar 13 '26
For the cheaper dyes, it's not too bad. It just means if you know you're not going to use the more expensive dyes (currency or shop based) on an item, shoving it in the armoire and just applying the dye per glamour plate is better. If you know you're going to want an item to constantly have something like jet black or pure white then it's better to just dye it before putting it in the dresser at least so you won't need to dye per glamour plate.
2
34
u/Mokiflip Mar 13 '26
Wait, what do they mean consolidated dyes? There will only be 3 dyes and they will allow you to apply a whole bunch of different colours each? Instead of needing 50 fkin dyes one for each colour?
34
u/Dironiil Selene, no! Come back! Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26
Names are a work-in-progress, but essentially yes.
There'll be a "Type A dye" for all 85 base colors from ARR, "Type B dye" for the 8 Ishgardian Restoration colors and "Type C dye" for the 11 Cosmic Exploration colors.
Special dyes (General Purose Pastel, Dark, Metallic, Jet Black and Pure White) will still be unique, individual items.
15
u/Dironiil Selene, no! Come back! Mar 13 '26
I'm replying to myself, but I didn't want to crowd my explanation post too much.
I think they could have bound the Pastel, Dark and Metallic dyes into a single item too ("Type Special" or something). The only dyes people actually buy from the store in meaningful quantities are Jet Black and Pure White, so those could stay as is if they really want to keep the revenue stream.
→ More replies (1)20
u/Mokiflip Mar 13 '26
yeah fair point, but still, I'll take any consolidation over none. Even just consolidating the 85 base dyes will save up so much inventory space and make everything so much more convenient

u/Dironiil Selene, no! Come back! Mar 13 '26
Oh yeah I definitely agree, it's really great already!
I just really like the pastel colors and a couple dark ones, so I'm a bit sad I'll have to still hoard those individually...
1
u/8bitcerberus Mar 13 '26
Is the consolidation the whole thing? Like all 85 in one “pot”? I had been interpreting it as each base color was going to have a consolidated dye, so like Type A Red, Type A Blue, etc. but if everything is in one single “Type A” that’s even better!
2
u/Dironiil Selene, no! Come back! Mar 13 '26
No, the slide (timestamp) is pretty clear (and the translation I've read indicates the same thing): "Many of the currently available dyes will be consolidated into three base dyes", "Type A [...]: 85 dyes from the 2.X patches", etc...
30
u/PenguinPwnge Mar 13 '26
3 dyes split between the "normal" ones, the Ishgardian Restoration ones, and the Cosmic Exploration ones. But there's going to be a few that aren't going to be converted, namely the really expensive ones.

u/legandaryhon Mar 13 '26
I've been storing my dyes on my Chocobo; that said, my Chocobo currently has, uh, 8 slots that aren't dyes. So the consolidation is going to help my Chocobo saddle SO much.

It definitely does, since all 85 base colors will be consolidated into one. I just checked, and 85 is the exact number of non-special dyes that are not from Ishgard Restoration or Cosmic.

That leaves Healing and Aiming Healing I actually expect to be Nobles Tunic set, even if it's not in the cursed gear, it was THE 75 era WHM(only real healer) body piece.
And I have no idea what to do for Aiming. Ranger was the only ranged DPS job (it used bows, guns, and crossbows) until Corsair, which was mostly support instead of DPS (75 era anyways)
Now, what do I WANT? I want hodgepoge. XI had no glam system, and gear didn't use ilvl or anything. Using RNG for example, a decently geared RNG Had a lvl 24 headpiece, lvl 7 boots, lvl 55 bow, and accessories from lvl 33-70. None of it matched or looked good together, lol.

u/WondrousNomenclature Mar 13 '26
I think people are jumping to the conclusion that we wanted to take BLU, and fight mobs in Heritage Found or something..? Obviously that would be disastrous considering the suspected level cap.
It's about the relationship/theme of DT as it correlates to BLU, the actual area where BLU is from isn't even reachable as a zone, instanced area, etc. but this is like going to Hingashi and not giving SAM an update lmao!
I wondered why we didn't see much going on with BLU around Tural, just a few mentions, here and there...I thought they were going to go all out, and have them be a part of the Guard around town or have a few sprinkled in amongst NPC combatants (just a decent feature somewhere, as we explored Tural) but we got nothing like that. Now I see why.

While double for inside is needed but I'm still excited we are getting 200 more, I can finally finish my basement that has been empty and roped off since 7.1 xD
I also hope the TARDIS update is the patch after 7.5 as I can upgrade my FC plot to have a large inside and I know many of my friends with smaller plots are excited to soon be able to have a large inside too. This will be huge for the RP/venue scene but it will also make all plots including smalls in less desirable zones like the Goblet be much more competitive in the worlds that have housing shortages.

If there is one thing I wish they would learn from splitting the patch MSQ, is making the halfway point at least feel like a closed book.

u/Nj3Fate Mar 13 '26
Wait, the translator i listened to (and the translations I read after) did not note that Yoship said the Ultimate would drop in .5.
If anything, I think based on past releases we should expect the ultimate in .51.
They did say the ultimate was complete, but that doesnt mean theyve finished testing and what not. What they did say is to wait 42 days (thats when fan fest is) for the announcement of what the ultimate theme will be
5
u/danks Mal from Gonetrail XIVinfo Mar 13 '26
Correct. At this live letter no date or patch was given for the ultimate. This is normal.
Ultimates are typically in x.x1 patches 2 weeks after the main patch. However, Patch 7.51 will be either 5 or 6 weeks after the major patch this time, so I gave it it's own section because that would be an unusual deviation. It could very well still be in 7.51.
I've since updated to include this. The initial quote from the famitsu article is
The next Ultimate is planned for release in 7.5x. However, it will not be implemented at the same time as 7.5. This is because we want you to thoroughly enjoy the main story first. That said, there are some people who will take months to complete the Ultimate, so we don't intend to delay the release date too much. We are thinking of releasing it a few weeks after patch 7.5.
However, this is also a very elaborate piece of content, so depending on the implementation and balance adjustments, the release date may be delayed. Even so, we would like to release it at a time not too late in 7.5x.
https://www.famitsu.com/article/202512/59484
So this doesn't match up with a 7.51 release, but that isn't evidence that it won't be in 7.51. Perhaps it just got pushed back a bit. I expect they will clear this up when they announce the ultimate at fanfest
3
u/Nj3Fate Mar 13 '26
I suspect it will be in .51 to spread out content during the long content drought. Theyve already been changing up their release cadences a bit

u/Amalgam2001 Mar 13 '26
The ultimate will be 7.51 just like always
5
u/danks Mal from Gonetrail XIVinfo Mar 13 '26
Yeahhhh. So that's what I expected initially too, but 7.51 is substantially later this time. Still possible that it winds up being 7.51, but since it was a little unusual I put it in it's own thing. Normal would be 2 weeks after the patch, 7.51 is at least 5, maybe 6 weeks after patch this time.

Pretty much. The trailer will probably be in three parts with NA and EU getting bits and pieces and JP having the full trailer. And unless they break their trend we’ll get a hint for the new job(s) at NA but they won’t be named or shown until EU and JP.

And people laughed at me when I said that the tardis update won't be release before 8.0...
Initially announced for 7.2 or 7.3 for the records.

IIRC From months ago people weren't laughing at you, just when they mentioned it during 7.3 that the system they were trying would work in theory but would result in too much CPU demand and people on a weaker system genuinely couldn't open houses, we were like... okay that's valid to not push it then. But you said back then that they shouldn't announce things if they were just going to ignore working on that stuff and should've realized there was issues earlier on.
It's fine to be disappointed but 1. people were not laughing at you my guy you aren't light yagami and 2. since 7.3 they've communicated to us about it on how they need to pivot how the changes work cause otherwise houses will be inaccessible to people on weaker hardware. and said they will keep us updated on any changes which they have now done so.

Given it's the last trial of Dawntrail you'd think we'd get one more IX appearance, like, Deathguise or something. Enuo feels like he belongs in the second Forked Tower more than anything.

We're apparently going into the void, which fits with SEs model of introducing characters/plots in one expansions patches, skipping the next and making them central to the base expansion after.
Ilberd's betrayal in ARR set up Stormblood, Estinien's post-war lead into Shadowbringers... there's better examples not coming to mind atm

Hard to get hyped for a new limited job when the old limited job is getting shafted. Ffs

u/dadudeodoom Mar 14 '26
And new limited job is more limited than the increasingly limited older limited job.

Wait.... 3 months for a fucking .X5 patch?!! Is this a one time only or the precedent from now on? All .X5 patches have been 2 months only from their base patch so far

Indie games have better roadmaps and communication that this garbage
The fact that the first image is from discord too and not official source tells you that much

Honestly gang I'm eating this up. Excited for BST, new Cosmic, and North Horn a LOT. AND WE GET A NEW OCEAN FISHING ROUTE AGAIN???? That makes me so happy I can't wait to want to throw a toaster into the ocean when I get annoyed at a mistimed spectral when going for a rare fish
But the new planet for CE looks so pretty and I am excited for that. And I feel like with the recent Valentine's event, we might see something akin to that at the Gold Saucer which would be neat to see.
I know its so so SOOOOO far removed but I long for the ShB Society Quests for Bloodsworn... I really enjoy those quests and it not being there in ShB sucked. Glad it was only ShB and wasn't a continuation though
I think it is unfortunate about BLU but I am happy with what is being added content wise and also system wise w/ glam, housing, and dye (oh my god my inventory is saved THANK YOU) and i am HOPING,,,, THIS ALLOWS BLU TO GET AN EARLY 8.0 UPDATE. I think if it gets slotted in in 8.1 it would be really good since those are normally a lighter patch. I doubt it would be getting a lvl 100 update as well though in the same patch but if it lets us get one limited job update in X.1-X.2 and the other X.4-X.5, it would strike a good balance and give some nice content at pivitul points in the patch cycle
The one thing I was hoping to see though is Chaotic. I really REALLY enjoyed Chaotic AR and I think they actually did really well with the 1st iteration on such a unique form of content and the biggest thing was just 1-2 points of the fight with body checks which I think they were unsure how consistent they wanted every person to be. I hope that is something they do not forget about since I think with reception they got from the 1st one, they could make the 2nd one even better

u/TimLol1337 Mar 13 '26
I believe it was mentioned somewhere that Chaotic will probably be a once-a-expansion thing. Don't got a source on that though.

Expanded housing interiors being pushed back more is a bummer but more items in general is always good. And if they gave apartments more items maybe just maybe we will get bigger apartments in the future.
Beastmaster looks fun. REALLY hoping they don't keep it back until summer or September. They seem obsessed with backending content. Whip over axe would have been nice but maybe they are saving whip for something else. Or just afraid to give Crystal RP whips. If the axe and shield are one item my cope for spear and shield is up.

This is probably the first x.5 with actual lasting content. Getting both an ultimate and a challenging raid in the same patch feels good.

If Hildi does have a trial, I hope it isn't half-assed/abandoned like Asura's was where we didn't get an EX version.

We haven't had a second MSQ dungeon with X.5 Part 2 MSQ in previous expansions. Is there specific reason to think we're getting one this time?
