25 Years Later, 'FFXIV' Brings Back One Achingly Familiar Feature

Square Enix

As Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail gears up for its next major patch, developer Square Enix showed us some of what we can expect, from a new activity for crafters, to a throwback to another older game. Director Naoki Yoshida revealed in the game’s latest announcement that patch 7.2 will be titled Seekers of Eternity, going live in late March. Fans are also getting a huge twist on the game’s usual Job format, and a dungeon inspired by Final Fantasy IX.

Before diving into Seekers of Eternity’s new content, Yoshida first addressed the use of PlayerScope, a mod that reads other players’ account IDs, which allows users to find other players’ alternate characters, enabling in-game stalking. Yoshida assured fans that the mod does not reveal any sensitive information like passwords, but that Square Enix is taking steps to stop the mod’s use.
