The Final Fantasy 16 1.32 update is coming today, May 9, 2024. While an official time wasn’t given, the update is now live, with my PS5. It also gave minor updates to both DLCs for the game, Echoes of the Fallen, and The Rising Tide.

While the complete official patch notes have not been shared, the following situations have been addressed for Final Fantasy 16 players, with the most recent 1.32 update:

• A rare instance in New Game+ of party members not being displayed, preventing progress beyond the main scenario quest “A Chance Encounter.”
• An issue preventing players from obtaining the achievements “Yes, Eikon” and “Masterclass.”
• Incorrect conditions required for obtaining the achievement “Such Dodge, So Mega.”
• A rare instance of the game crashing under certain conditions.

The achievements listed in this FF16 update are rather easy, the most time-consuming one being Masterclass. It requires players to upgrade all features and abilities to their maximum, which can take an incredible amount of time. The others simply require getting all of an Eikon’s abilities, and using Precision Dodge 3 times while charging a single Megaflare.

Fans don’t have to wait for this update, either, because it appears to have rolled out today, May 9, 2024. We will update this article when more detailed, official patch notes are released by Square Enix.
