The new "Final Fantasy XIV" update patch is scheduled to be released next week. The new update patch is tagged as patch 3.55a and is slated to be released on Feb. 28.

Naoki Yoshida, director and producer of the hit RPG revealed during the "FFXIV" Fan Festival in Frankfurt, Germany that the "Final Fantasy XIV" patch 3.55a is scheduled to be released on Feb. 28. Yoshida gave this statement during the Letter from the Producer Live segment of the Fan Festival.

The update patch is given the name 3.55a because the "FFXIV" development team has discovered a bug in a new raid within Diadem. This is why patch 3.55a will be followed a week after by "FFXIV" patch 3.55b that is scheduled to be released between March 7-14.

Aside from the already announced inclusions of the "Final Fantasy XIV" Patch 3.55a, Yoshida also revealed other information about the future of the RPG during the Fan Festival. Included in the "FFXIV" patch 3.55a is the final Anima weapon story quest.

According to DualShockers, Yoshida will be speaking with the development team to implement the character creation option, particularly for more body options that fans of the game wanted to have. However, no timeline have been mentioned as to when the option will be released or if the feature will really be considered.

The RPG director and producer will also talk to the "Final Fantasy XIV" team for the possibility of developing rhythm games and implement it in the Gold Saucer. Also, the "FF14" development team reportedly wants to implement features that will further emphasize the racial identities of the character, this may include race-specific hairstyles.

According to Yoshida, the team is also working on "Palace of the Dead" cross-server. Aside from the already confirmed inclusions of "Final Fantasy XIV" patch 3.55a, those others mentioned by Yoshida is still in the planning stage and is yet to have a release date.
