People jumping intoFinal Fantasy 14for the first time will benefit from a new feature in theupcoming 7.1 patch, which will emulate the sensation of playing the game since launch.
One of the strangest criticisms of Final Fantasy 14’sDawntrail expansionwas its intro cutscene when the game is booted up. It starts with a flash of bright white light, which players don’t appreciate, especially in dark living rooms and bedrooms worldwide.
Final Fantasy 14 Just Did A Lovely Send-Off To The Upcoming Dawntrail Expansion
A short but very sweet send off to this summer’s expansion.
The officialFinal Fantasy 14website has outlined some of the changes in the 7.1 patch, which is set to launch on November 12. These include the game-changing the intro cutscene to match the player’s progression.
“The game logo and opening movie displayed when launching the game will now change according to player progression through the main scenario.”
This means that a fresh player will receive the A Realm Reborn cutscene, gradually unlocking the others as they continue through the Main Scenario.

One benefit of the 7.1 update is that it removes spoilers for people who want to go in totally fresh, such as how Endwalker’s intro revealed that there was a trip to the moon.
Players can also experience the epic expansion intro theme tunes, especially thesong from Shadowbringers.
Changing intros isn’t the only new feature in the 7.1 patch, as it not only continues the Main Scenario Quests but also features a crossover questline with Final Fantasy XI, named Echoes of Vana’diel.
The 7.1 patch also adds Pelupelu allied society quests, new interior designs and furnishing for estates, character voices in Doman Mahjong, freshduties and trials, and a number of minor improvements to the gameplay experience.

Final Fantasy XIV is one of the biggest MMORPGs in the gaming industry and Naoki Yoshida sat down with DualShockers to talk about it.
The patch also adds new clothing, hairstyle, emotes, mounts, minions, and weapons. Some outfits can now also be worn by both genders; toe detail has been improved with shoes, while certain clothes have been made more transparent.
In response to fan feedback about Dawntrail’s graphical update, players will also receive a free potion of Fantasia, allowing them to change their appearance.
An evolving intro cutscene is a great addition to the game, as it matches the flow of the story as it’s being experienced.
Without this change, anyone booting up Final Fantasy 14 forthe first timewith the expansion will stare at Dawntrail’s intro for hundreds of hours, getting flash-banged in the eyes each time they play it.
