The Makers’ Quarter was once home to some of the finest crafters Eorzea had ever seen, but it has lain in forgotten ruin since the Sharlayan exodus. It is there, hidden amidst overgrown foliage, that the entrance to the former workshop of the Archon Matoya can be found…
Patch 5.4 is called Futures Rewritten, which is rather fitting if you’ve been keeping up with the plot of the game so far. And if you haven’t, you really should have been. It’s great. As we’re now “done” with Shadowbringers, the 5.4 MSQ will be start building up to the next expansion, which will likely involve a full invasion of Garlemald. The one screenshot released so far shows Aymeric, so hey! Ishgard!
The new trial also looks like it’s going to be Ishgard-based. Matoya’s Relict, as it’s called, will be fully playable with AI companions through the Trust system — and as it’s related to Matoya, it’s probably going to be located somewhere in Ishgard. It could be one of her old refuges, of course, but considering the presence of Aymeric in that single screenshot I’m fairly sure we’ll be hanging out in the land of ice and snow once again.
The trial is the next part of the Sorrow of Werlyt quest, and will have players face off with the Emerald Weapon. This looks like it’ll be a proper Trial, unlike the excellent (if weird) Gundam-like battle with the Sapphire Weapon. Expect both Normal and Extreme difficulties for this.
Finally for “the usual stuff,” we’ve got Eden’s Promise: the third (and likely final) chapter of the Eden raid series. No details yet except that we’ll have Normal and Savage difficulties, but if it follows the standard format then we can expect four rough boss battles.
