FFXIV Patch 6.5 Zero Key Art Shared, Site Updated

Square Enix shared new Zero key art and website updates for FFXIV patch 6.5. The art shows Zero with some of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Meanwhile, the website also shows that art and lists some of the things coming in patch 6.5. However, the site only offers a general overview and doesn’t divide the additions up into 6.5 part 1 or part 2. One half will show up in October 2023, while the other debuts in January 2024.

First, here’s the FFXIV key art that prominently shows Zero at the center of things. Square Enix introduced her in the Endwalker expansion. However, it was the 6.2 Buried Memory story quests that she came more to the forefront. The art features characters like the Warrior of Light, Y’shtola, Alisaie, Alphinaud, and Estinien.
