Now in front of players is the most recent large-scale content patch for Final Fantasy 14, Patch 7.35, which includes the eagerly awaited event with Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds and a whole host of other permanent additions. Released on October 3, 2025, the new patch challenges Warriors of Light with a demanding eight-player Trial centered on its enormous beast, Guardian Arkveld, the White Wraith, as the top-tier community-featured trial that players could only identify in-game. Interestingly, the cross-franchise collaboration is reciprocal since Monster Hunter Wilds players will also be able to battle the FF14 collaboration boss, Omega Planetes, as part of the Title Update 3 content rollout.
Beyond efficacy to that of the spectacular cross-franchise content, Patch 7.35 greatly enrichs high-level group activity with Pilgrim’s Traverse, the fourth Deep Dungeon in the game. The new randomised gauntlet rests in the familiar location of Il Mheg and, quite literally, challenges groups of up to four players on an uncovering mission over mysteries surrounding the Church of First Light its deeper connections to the lore of the Shadowbringers expansion. Access is thoroughly based on previous accomplishments, specifically the Endwalker main scenario quest and floor 50 of the existing Palace of the Dead. In this regard, Pilgrim’s Traverse appears as one of such content that targets only those seasoned adventurers willing to take on its independently functioning leveling and item progression systems.
However, the update features very much hardcore combat content while going a long way in establishing the counterweight of estranged, long-term, casual activities to play at different paces. The next chapter in the much-loved comedic quest line, “Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures,” has now been put into place, carrying on the whacky saga of this most interesting of inspectors. The developing team has also launched the Yok Huy allied society quests: a new daily progression system specifically for the Disciples of the Hand. Situated within Urqopacha, this quest line focuses on crafting, ensuring a continued exchange of material and reputation gains, thus giving committed crafters a whole new channel for progression and world-building immersion.
Patch 7.35 is, thus, the important middle-lane infusion of the expansion, carrying game vitality even further into the future. Because of these major collaborative additions-such as the Extreme difficulty Trial and permanent such things as Pilgrim’s Traverse and dedicated crafting progression-Square Enix does lend firm credence to its commitment to maintaining an enormous and diverse ecosystem. Definitely, this stream of content does confirm Final Fantasy 14 as possibly the best MMORPG in terms of being able to leg out on depth across combat, crafting, and lighthearted narrative adventures for its big and dedicated global audience.
