We Now Know When FFXIV's Patch 7.25 Arrives With Crescent Isle, Relic Weapon Quests, Mamool Ja Quests and More

The next and final round of content for Final Fantasy 14’s latest patch series, comes next week after a ten-hour maintenance downtime, with patch 7.25 bringing us Crescent Isle and the next in the Hildibrand series. 

The timing window is now explicitly available because the latest slew of Lodestone posts, which indicate when there’s maintenance and server notices, explicitly state that 7.25 will be coming with this maintenance. 

According to this Lodestone post, the implementation of FFXIV patch 7.25 will take place during maintenance starting Monday, May 26 at 5:00 p.m. PDT, and ongoing through the night until 3:00 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, May 27. 

Take note that this time, your accidental logins to the Launcher will be a little wonkier, as it’ll throw an error due to the Japanese Data Center maintenance. Plus, the Lodestone will not be available; news will be posted on the official forums and the X/Twitter account at @FFXIV_NEWS_EN instead. 

Plus, in the meantime, FFXIV has updated its primary page for the 7.2 patch series to include more screenshots about the new 7.25 content coming. For Crescent Isle, we see more of the monsters that’ll make an appearance, plus a screenshot of the Phantom Jobs; the patch also brings us the latest “relic” weapons, this time called the Phantom Weapons, seemingly linked to the Crescent Isle content. 

As for content in the wider world, the Mamool Ja Society Quests are coming with 7.25 too as the once fiercely-independent village sees “a new enterprise” working to improve its home. And as for Hildibrand… well, it’s Hildibrand:

Nashu Mhakaracca has followed the trail of the missing Inspector Hildibrand to the neon-lit metropolis of Solution Nine. Enlisting the aid of Detective Hardiboiled-a man of eerily familiar appearance and resilience-the search for everyone's favorite agent of enquiry continues...

…yeah. 

A bit of Crescent Isle was already previewed in some of the prior Letter from the Producer Live, during which the producers showed off some of the gameplay systems in Crescent Isle.
