In a recent post on the Lodestone, the official website of Final Fantasy XIV, Producer & Director Naoki Yoshida gave more information about the impact of the Coronavirus crises on the production of new patches for FFXIV.
Yoshi-P explained that most of the 5.25 patch was already finished before the crisis and finished by workers that could come to the office safely or work remotely. On the other hand, FFXIV relying a lot on partners also concerned by the crisis too, further development is severely impacted.
It is now clear that we could see Patch 5.3 between the end of June and anywhere in July if the global health situation stayed the same.
With Patch 5.25 released on Tuesday, players still have a little to wait for the massive update that 5.3 is expected to be (by me at least)!
