Final Fantasy XIV recently had the massive 6.2 update which brought in long-awaited features like the Island Sanctuary. Now the update has been around for a few weeks, the team behind the game has had plenty of time to work on patches and bug fixes that 6.2 needs. Thankfully, the game is in quite a stable state right now, but there are still a few issues that could cause you problems in specific circumstances.
As this patch is implemented worldwide, it, unfortunately, means that all worlds will need to go offline for a while to make sure everything runs smoothly. We’ll give you all the details on how long the FFXIV downtime is planned to last, and at what times the server maintenance will begin and end.
