Final Fantasy 14 Rolls Out Graphics Update on Lodestone, Companion App

With Final Fantasy XIV undergoing a lengthy 48-hour maintenance before the early access period of the Dawntrail expansion, players are eager for new content. During this downtime, attention has turned to the game's Companion App and Lodestone website, where an exciting development has been spotted: the graphics update is starting to roll out.

Dawntrail Maintenance Brings Graphics Update

One of the major changes in Dawntrail, aside from the new story arc, areas to explore, and various upgrades, is a significant graphical overhaul. This update will enhance the visual quality of all characters and environments in Eorzea and beyond. Players have noticed that the player search database on the Lodestone and the Companion App are already reflecting these graphical improvements for some characters.

Players Notice Visual Enhancements

As the 48-hour maintenance continues, the Companion App is also being updated. Many players have reported on social media platform X that the graphics update appears to be live for a select few.

Excited Warriors of Light are sharing screenshots of their characters in the Companion App, showing off their virtual enhancements. Similarly, the FFXIV Lodestone player search indicates that some characters have received their visual updates.

If players have not yet seen a change in their characters, there is no need to worry. The update seems to be rolling out in waves, with some receiving the new graphics earlier than others. Many players have expressed difficulty in determining whether their characters have been updated, possibly due to clothing choices or specific visual details.

This sentiment is shared by numerous players on X, who have noted the challenge in identifying the updates. Once Dawntrail goes live, players will have a clearer view of their characters' updated appearances, hopefully after a smooth login process.
