Well, here we are.
It’s been a long time since the last Final Fantasy XIV patch: February, to be exact. There’s a reason for that of course! But FFXIV fans have been hungry for more for quite a while, putting a lot of pressure on patch 5.3 to deliver the goods.
It does. The major patches usually do, because of how much effort the FFXIV team puts into them.
