Final Fantasy 14's long-awaited patch 7.2 – called Seekers of Eternity – releases on March 25.

That comes from the latest Letter from the Producer live stream, which features a new trailer and announces that one of the MMO's largest patch runs yet will begin in just over 10 days.

Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.2 will follow the usual tradition of advancing the story as we deal with the aftermath of the Dawntrail expansion before eventually moving toward what's going down in the next expansion.

You've also got the second section of the The Arcadion raid series that includes three new encounters, and will release before a Savage version comes thereafter to really test you.

What's got most fans excited, though, is the extra content that's due to come as part of the 7.2x series of updates. While we'll get some of the content spoken about on March 25, a lot of it will come in the weeks and months following.

Getting into that, there's the crafting-oriented Cosmic Exploration and, for those who have been missing Eureka and Bozjan Southern Front-like content, the Occult Crescent, which promises big boss battles, Phantom Jobs, and 48-player raids. The longer stretch of time between patches means we've had to wait a bit longer for the sort of goodness many of the community missed from Endwalker and beyond, but it's nice to say it's nearly here.

That's not it, either. You've also got the Dawntrail weapon enhancement quests, another Trial and Unreal Trial, and other bits like balancing updates. There's also a new dungeon called The Underkeep. It's no wonder that director and producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida reportedly called Final Fantasy 14's 7.2 update the MMO's largest ever.

As Final Fantasy 14 raiders tear through the MMO's hardest duty with no healers and then no tanks, the community can only see this going one way: "Now it's time to clear without DPS."
