Friday, right? That day where sometimes… weirdly, the Internet just explodes with stuff you didn’t even know you cared about. Well, apparently, we’ve got big news for all those cat and bunny folks—wait, in a game, not real ones. Final Fantasy 14? Yeah, them! So, developers were all chatty in the latest livestream, and here’s the kicker: Hrothgar and Viera—those are the cat and bunny characters if you didn’t know—get to wear hats now. Finally! Patch 7.3 is bringing the magic.
Now, these guys haven’t really been flaunting big-time headgear since their debut in the Shadowbringers expansion, which was like… 2019? Seriously, it’s been a minute. Why, you ask? Apparently, it’s because of their “unique heads.” I mean, cat ears, bunny ears, we get it, but still. The struggle was real.
But fear not, the dev folks over at Square Enix are promising even more hat action, like helmets and stuff, in future updates. Maybe they’ll finally prioritize those fancy-pants outfits they charge for. Imagine paying for bling you can’t even wear? Oh, and by the way, that’s not all that came out of their mouths during the broadcast.
There’s this Patch 7.3—catchy name, right? “The Promise of Tomorrow” it’s called, the final curtain on the Dawntrail saga or something. Early August is when it drops. Mark your calendars. Hype mode activated.
And elsewhere in this fantastical update, there’re whispers of new scenarios with the Yok Huy, a shiny level 100 dungeon (The Meso Terminal, sounds techy), and a whole bunch of trials and raids that sound either really epic or like someone had too much caffeine while naming them. There’s even a new Deep Dungeon—Pilgrim’s Traverse, whatever that means.
But honestly, all this jazz, it’s just background noise compared to the real headline: Hrothgar and Viera can finally strut their stuff with hats. That’s been, what, six years in the making? A saga on its own, if you ask me.
Final Fantasy 14 Online is everywhere now—Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, you name it. It’s like they want no one left out. Go figure. Anyway—wait, was that it? Yeah, I think so. Enjoy your hat-wearing, virtual bunnies and cats!
