As well as the usual bug fixes and balance changes, the big addition in this patch is the new Gilded Araya trial. The Gilded Araya was previously available to fight as a challenge battle at Fan Festival events in the North America, Europe, and Japan. This trial requires an item level of at least 625 and is tackled with a team of eight players.

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.55 also brings three new main scenario quests for players that have reached level 90 and are up-to-date with the story. This is now when the game begins to set the stage for the upcoming Dawntrail expansion.

New additions to the Manderville Weapons, Tataru’s Grand Endeavour, and Somehow Further Hildebrand Adventures side-questlines have also been added, along with 2 quests in the Tribal Alliance series. Additionally, there are new rewards available in the Golden Saucer, new cards for the Triple Triad minigame, and a multitude of resolved technical issues.

Square Enix also recently announced a new meister-quality figurine featuring the primals Zodiark and Hydaelyn, which includes an emote usable in the game itself. The company also announced a new Warrior of Light-themed Wine bottle in collaboration with The Prisoner Wine Company.

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.55 is now available to download for PC, PS4, PS5, and will arrive on Xbox Series X sometime in Spring, 2024.
