Final Fantasy 14's patch 7.2 due end of March with even more Final Fantasy 9 references
Final Fantasy 14’s next patch, 7.2, will be called Seekers of Eternity and will be released at the end of March.
The news was shared as part of the latest Letter from the Producer livestream, along with artwork for the patch.
It will feature a new character, though her identity has been left a mystery for now beyond featuring in the new artwork.
As with previous patch 7.1 released in November (Crossroads), Seekers of Eternity will continue the main story after the events of Dawntrail. Eventually these will lead to the presumed next expansion.
As part of that story continuation, a new dungeon will be included in this patch called The Underkeep, which – like the story of Dawntrail – appears to take clear inspiration from Final Fantasy 9’s Alexandria. A new Trial called Recollection against a Beatrix-esque cyborg will also be added.

Other additions in this patch include more Hildibrand Adventures, new Cornservant side quests, new Allied Society quests with the Mamool Ja, and a return of the PvP mode Frontline (Secure). The Arcadion will also continue with the Cruiserweight tier, while the Duty Support system will be extended to The Sunken Temple of Qarn.
Further, we’ve finally received further details on the forthcoming Cosmic Exploration mode.
This new activity is designed for crafters and gatherers as players explore stars, with new stars added in each major patch of the 7.x series. Players will “nurture the development of planets by completing missions and events as a community”, including building a base of operations.
