When the Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live LXXXII got to System Adjustments, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Square Enix General Manager of Community & Service Division Toshio “Foxclon” Murouchi went over the new FFXIV Allagan Tomestones of Heliometry and the equipment and gear people can get from them. In total, Yoshida revealed nine of the new sets people can get to wear or even use as glamour.
Previously, Square Enix went over how the Allagan Tomestones of Causality and Comedy would be leaving, and the Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetics and Heliometry will appear following FFXIV Dawntrail for new gear and equipment. The Aesthetics ones will be immediately available after 7.0. However, the Heliometry ones won’t show up until 7.05.
After discussing the additions, Yoshida shared images of some of the equipment FFXIV Dawntrail players will be able to get when they exchange Allagan Tomestones of Heliometry for gear. Nine pieces of art were shared, showing things for folks like Black Mages, Dragoons, Pictomancers, and Reapers.
Other topics came up other than Allagan Tomestones during the System Adjustments portion of the discussion. People will be able to hold 1,500 Bicolor Gemstones, instead of only 1,000. The Duty List will also show emotes and delivery item recipes. Glasses will be categorized as facewear going forward too.
You will be able to hide nearby players when near an NPC or item with quest icon, with default, when near quest NPCs, or when interacting with quest NPCs as options. Your party member allies will be able to be shown as an option, but any friends in your party won’t be shown. A slide showed the three options in action.
Yoshida also spoke a lot about the dyeing adjustments. These will let you have two on one piece of gear, and there will be more items that support that option. The 7.0 and beyond equipment will all support two dye slots. Greater support may not come until 7.04. You can also set “favored dye” or “previously applied dyes” as an option. Yoshida said this could apply to setting a favorite color as a “saved” favorite.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Dawntrail expansion will arrive on July 2, 2024.
