Additionally, the preliminary patch notes detail PvP changes and further information about the Crystalline Conflict PvP mode. The patch notes break down how the ranking system will work for PvP, and how players can increase their rank in Crystalline Conflict. Both a Ranked and Casual version of the PvP mode will be available for players. Quick Chat options will also be available. This means players can quickly communicate using a select few emotes during PvP.

The patch notes also reveal that several dungeons have been added to Explorer Mode. This mode allows players to walk through dungeons freely. It is largely used for screenshot purposes. Several duties will also be available to record once Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.1 goes live.
