February 2, 2021 Omer Altay Comments

As previously announced, Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 5.45 launched earlier today. Patch 5.45 introduces the latest chapter in the "Save The Queen" quest series. The update introduces the following new features:

Resistance Weapon Quests Update: “Save the Queen: Past to Rest” – The battle for the southern front wages on, and having failed to retake Castrum Lacus Litore, chances of victory appear slim for the Resistance. This next exciting chapter of the “Save the Queen” quest series continues the story penned by renowned game designer Yasumi Matsuno.
New Large-Scale Battle Content: “Delubrum Reginae” – This new battle content includes a 24-player normal mode and high-difficulty 48-player savage mode for players to undertake.
Resistance Weapon Updates – Players who advance the “Save the Queen” questline will be able to further upgrade their Resistance Weapons an additional two tiers in Patch 5.45. The second upgrade tier will also allow players to customize certain parameters on the weapon to match their playstyle.
Blue Mage Update – Blue mage receives a number of new updates, including an increased level cap to 70, new blue magic to learn from enemies, new job-specific equipment, and additions to the Blue Mage Log.
Skysteel Tool Update – Disciples of the Land and Hand can further upgrade their Skysteel Tools to aid in crafting and gathering.
New emotes, hair styles, furnishings, mounts, minions, fashion accessories and more.

The most interesting aspect of this update is the new 48 player large scale dungeon "Delubrum Reginae" which can be challenged in Savage difficulty.

While this should keep players busy for a bit, Square Enix also announced an upcoming "Announcement Showcase" livestream scheduled for February 5th at 5:30pm PST which should announce some additional new content for the game.
