At the Final Fantasy XIV Tokyo Fan Fest 2024, Final Fantasy XIV producer Naoki Yoshida announced that Patch 6.55 for Final Fantasy XIV will be coming on January 16th, 2024. Before this update arrives, a 24-hour long maintenance will be held.
The reason for this long maintenance is so that the developers are able to update the data center infrastucture of the Japanese data centers.
Patch 6.55 will include a number of updates, including the continuation of the main scenario in Growing Light – Part 2, the next instalment of Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures and a new trial titled The Gilded Araya.
