A new update has been released for Final Fantasy XIV Online. One of the highlights is the introduction of same-region player matchmaking. This is mainly applicable to the North American and European data centers.
Same-region player matchmaking had previously been launched for Japan. In a post, Square Enix shared that prior to this feature, matchmaking and party recruitment have been limited to players on the same logical data center. With the change, the scope should expand to cover all those on the same physical data center. Basically, all players within the same physical data center are eligible for matchmaking and party recruitment no matter their current world.
Changes to Housing
In addition to the addition of this exciting feature, changes have been made on other existing features like the free company estates. For example, players can now vacate private chambers from anywhere on their Home World. To vacate private chambers, players need to select Housing in the main menu, followed by Estate Settings, Private Chambers, and Vacate Private Chambers.
That's not all since players can now vacate private chambers while furnishings are placed inside. Any furnishings placed or stored inside can be recovered from the residential caretaker within 35 days.
There are also other fixes and even new content. Check out the complete notes for Patch 7.58 here.
