FINAL FANTASY XIV Hotfixes (May 7, 2026)

■ In Windurst: The Third Walk, the appearance of the battlefield during the battle against Promathia has been updated.

■The following issues have been addressed:
- An issue when undertaking the Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures quest "Meteorites and Meteor-wrongs," introduced in Patch 7.45, wherein, after the final cutscene fades to black, the screen remains black and the quest cannot be completed.
- An issue wherein some NPC dialogue will display in Japanese during certain parts of the Patch 7.5 main scenario quests.
- In Housing, when you set up a second patch, there are cases where, under certain conditions, you will no longer be able to target the first patch that has already been set up.
*If this issue occurs, you can resolve it by placing the item in your inventory after the fix is applied and then placing it again.
- In Windurst: The Third Walk, if a K.O.'d player returns to the starting point at a specific timing after Promathia is defeated, the screen remains black.
- In the instanced dungeon "The Clyteum" introduced in the Patch 7.5, spiritbond does not increase.
- When exchanging items with the following NPC vendors, the confirmation pop-up incorrectly displays Japanese text.
Affected NPCs:
・Ardolain - Foundation
・Amalj'aa Vendor - Southern Thanalan
・Sylphic Vendor - East Shroud
・Kobold Vendor - Outer La Noscea
・Sahagin Vendor - Western La Noscea
・Luna Vanu - Sea of Clouds
・Vath Stickpeddler - Dravanian Forelands
・Shikitahe - The Ruby Sea
・Madhura - The Fringes
・Gyosho - The Azim Steppe
・Produce Producer - Island Sanctuary
・Expedition Antiquarian - Occult Crescent: South Horn

- The unintended availability of the Senor Otter Pack fashion accessory, which is scheduled for release as a future reward.
*Due to a recent update, the “Senor Otter Pack” is no longer available. It will be available during a seasonal event scheduled for late May 2026, so we hope you will acquire it again at that time. Please note that if you were using the “Senor Otter Pack” prior to the update, it will become unavailable as of the time the update was applied.
- An issue wherein the following undyeable gear displays the dye icons and dye subcommand, allowing the item dyeing window to be erroneously opened:
Moogle Head / Moogle Body / Moogle Arms / Moogle Buns / Moogle Legs
- Dye 2 is no longer applied to the hem of the Air Cell Halfslops when worn by male Roegadyn and male Hrothgar.
- When the Dirndl Long Skirt is equipped together with certain body gear on non-Lalafell female characters, the gear may be displayed incorrectly when performing certain animations and poses.
- The Caprino and Wind-up Red XIII minions have black dots displayed on their models when the Texture Resolution setting is set to Standard, or when playing on the PlayStation®4 / Xbox Series S versions. (Windows® / Mac / Steam / PlayStation®4 / Xbox Series S only)
- When your character is standing up from the crafting idle state (being seated with crafting tool drawn), switching to another class or job may cause the character to become immobilized.
- Certain textures in the first arena of Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) are not properly displayed. (PlayStation®5 only)
- An issue in the Bannock in the Central Shroud wherein the striking dummies display the incorrect level, and the "Reset Striking Dummy Enmity" subcommand is unavailable.
- The Quest Progression Settings under Character Configuration are incorrectly triggered around garden patches, hired NPCs, and mannequins.
- When using a DualSense wireless controller, haptic feedback is not being triggered as intended when the job gauge for certain jobs reaches specific thresholds. (Windows® / Steam only)
