During Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn event at Tokyo Game Show, Naoki Yoshida shared more details as to what subscribers can expect in version 2.1 later this year.
Subscribers who loves raiding dungeons with a group of friends will be pleased to hear that the Crystal Tower, just like in Final Fantasy III, will be coming in Game Update 2.1. This dungeon is said to require 24 players to take on. As far as how difficulty goes, Yoshida assured that it will not be too tough.
In addition to Crystal Tower, the much awaited Player Housing will be available at all three city-states in Eorzea. Players can expect about 380 different parts to decorate their own house.
