As FFXIV Shadowbringers Patch 5.11 arrived recently, fans have begun exploring the new additions to Eorzea that Square Enix have implemented just days after the NieR: Automata crossover event began in earnest with Patch 5.1: Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty. The latter added some highly anticipated content in the form of a genuine NieR raid that awarded customization items to help characters look more like that universe’s android models, alongside updates to the Main Scenario quests that continue the narrative that was such a highly-praised element of the Shadowbringers expansion – an expansion many believed to be one of the greatest in MMORPG history.
In fact, FFXIV Shadowbringers became one of the highest rated Final Fantasy games in history – although the claim to being the highest rated of all time still remains with Final Fantasy 9. Coupled with a consistent commitment from the development team to address the fan base’s concerns and produce unique content that pushes the boundaries of what crossover events can become in MMORPGs, FFXIV Shadowbringers has renewed interest in a game that some had speculated might be on the downswing heading into 2020 and beyond. Instead, Square Enix rekindled the passion of an already dedicated fanbase and assured those still playing that a new Final Fantasy MMORPG wasn’t likely to arrive any time in the near future, with extensive content plans still being worked on.
With FFXIV Patch 5.11, Square Enix is taking the opportunity to address one of the forgotten elements of the game world in crafting. The Ishgardian Restoration effort has gotten underway, tasking players with reconstructing a district in Foundation. Players can deliver large amounts of materials specific to the project, and can even work in tandem as gatherers and crafters work to rebuild an element of the area that had been thought lost. It’s finally given those who love the non-combat elements of the game’s progression system something to do in new content, and it’s been well-received thus far.
The other major addition in FFXIV Patch 5.11 is, of course, the high-end duty known as The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate). The raid will be availabe to those who have completed Eden’s Gate: Sepulture (Savage). It’s yet another homage to the NieR universe after a fashion, featuring a mechanical god that has been let down by mortals – similar to the machines in NieR: Automata. It’s also an exciting addition in its own right, with many guilds streaming attempts at it already.
FFXIV Patch 5.11 is yet another high quality addition to a game that has staked its reputation on churning those out with each update. As FFXIV Shadowbringers gets further away from its torrid summer of critical praise and player growth, Square Enix will inevitably be faced with the question of what comes next for its game. Until then, however, players can rest easy knowing even smaller updates like FFXIV Patch 5.11 bring with them an incredible amount of content – and it caters to different kinds of players, too.
