Oh man, where do I even start with this wild ride? So, the whole saga of, like, cat and bunny folks in Final Fantasy 14 finally getting some headgear love! I mean, seriously, it’s kind of about time, right? (Who knew hats could be controversial?) Anyway, in one of those Letter from the Producer Live streams—yep, they finally dished out the good news. Hrothgar and Viera peeps can finally strut their stuff with headgear in Patch 7.3. Thanks, Square Enix!
Okay, so here’s the backstory—Hrothgar and Viera, those quirky races joined the FF14 universe in Shadowbringers, like back in 2019. But get this—because of their “unique heads” (cue cat ears, bunny ears), they couldn’t rock most headgear. Weird, right? Like, you see all these awesome outfits you can’t wear. Or wait, maybe that’s just me getting sidetracked.
But that’s about to change! The promise is there, they say, for future updates and more helmet options. Fingers crossed they prioritize the fancy cosmetic stuff you gotta pay for. Not that I’ve, you know, been waiting or anything. But who hasn’t got a wishlist?
Here’s something—hats, as crucial as they might be for our beloved feline and rabbit pals, were not the sole highlight. Naoki Yoshida and Toshio Murouchi talked about way more cool stuff during the stream. So, Patch 7.3, known as The Promise of Tomorrow (a title that sounds kind of poetic, doesn’t it?) is apparently wrapping up the Dawntrail story. Launching in early August, they say.
Oh, and get this: They’re teasing a whole bunch of new content! There’s this new allied society scenario, something about the Yok Huy. Sounds mysterious, huh? Plus, there’s The Meso Terminal, some level 100 dungeon. The names they come up with, honestly! And let’s not forget that raid—the San d’Oria: The Second Walk.
But yeah, hats. In the grand scheme of things, this is huge for Hrothgar and Viera players. It’s like, finally! The days of being hatless are ending. Huge relief, right?
So there you have it—Final Fantasy 14 Online, keeping it exciting on every console imaginable. The whole nine yards. And hey, the journey of hats is just beginning!
