Square Enix has finally unveiled the full list of changes coming to Final Fantasy XVI with its latest title update, version 1.31. This patch is scheduled to go live on April 18, 2024. The new update will bring a ton of quality-of-life changes to the base game, from a dedicated Eikonic ability loadout menu to the ability to change controller layout and much more.
The update 1.31 is a mandatory update that will unlock access to the upcoming The Rising Tide DLC, which releases on the same date. While the new patch marks the arrival of the highly anticipated expansion, most of the changes brought to the game with version 1.31 are meant for the base game.
Here's a look at the official patch notes for Final Fantasy XVI update version 1.31.
Among the many changes brought to Final Fantasy XVI with update 1.31 are the various balance changes made to the Eikonic abilities. Fans of the Odin and Titan Eikonic skills will be glad to learn that the latest patch buffs some of those powers, making them more viable and better than other abilities like the Phoenix and Shiva.
Moreover, the new update has added "new cutscenes" to some of the side quests. Also, the amount of damage players deal outside of certain Eikonic battles has been buffed, making combat much less tedious. Lastly, the new patch adds new NPCs to certain settlements, which makes exploring those much more immersive.
