Patch art
Work is being done to counter stalking issues (I am not going to summarise this as I don't want to deliver the information incorrectly, and it has already been discussed elsewhere by people who understand it better than I do.)
New content:
- MSQ 7.2 with dungeon (The Underkeep) and trial (Recollection)
- Mamool Ja society quests for gatherers - looks to be taking place in Mamook
- more Hildibrand
- new Cornservant sidequest
- duty support added for Sunken Temple of Qarn
- new PVP series, and Frontline Secure mode is back
- Arcadion part 2: Cruiserweight Tier

Cosmic Exploration
- collaborative for crafters and gatherers
- a new planet to explore in each major patch
- first project appears to be the Moon
- looks like we get a mecha thing either as mount or gimmick
- new glamour (sleek uniform thing)
Field Operations - Occult Crescent
- wilderness/jungle setting
- large-scale raid (48 players)
- requires level 100 to enter
- separate "Knowledge" levelling system
- Phantom Jobs - "when equipped, they will grant players new actions that can be used with their main job" - appears to be a mix of existing and new jobs: freelancer, monk, bard, geomancer, ranger, berserker, time mage, chemist and cannoneer are shown. It is noted that some of these jobs wouldn't fit well into FFXIV but doesn't definitively rule them out.
- Relic weapons can be worked on through either field operations or existing content
Other:
- polaroid camera emote as a collab with instax - not clear whether this is free for all players or something you have to earn
- upcoming discount campaign for 30 days of FFXI subscription
- JP collaboration with Don Tacos brand
- Black Milk clothing collab - previews of some of the outfits
- Primals concert Blu-ray and merchandise
- Scions will appear in the artwork for upcoming events, even though they're not going to necessarily be in the events
- apparently they are "thinking about" making rewards from past PVP seasons available again.
