FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Patch 5.35 arrives today, which continues the “Save the Queen” quest series—a multi-part adventure featuring a compelling story written by renowned game creator Yasumi Matsuno (FINAL FANTASY Tactics, FINAL FANTASY XII), who also penned the narrative for Stormblood’s™ wildly popular Return to Ivalice alliance raid series.
