Early on Friday morning, Square Enix — developer and publisher of the Final Fantasy series — gave fans of its popular long-running MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV a closer look at its upcoming Patch 7.3 update for Dawntrail scheduled to release in early August 2025. A lot was discussed and shown during the nearly four-hour long Letter From the Producer, but one bit of news in particular has the community in quite a tizzy.
That news is the announcement that FFXIV Patch 7.3: The Promise of Tomorrow will bring something people have been begging for since the release of Shadowbringers in 2019: the ability for Hrothgar and Viera characters to wear more than a small handful of hats and helmets. You see, while these races can equip headgear, nearly every piece of it in the game won't actually display on them; this, no doubt, is a result of the former's unique leonine features and the latter's rabbit-like ears.
