The first major post-release patch for Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood will arrive in early October. Titled “The Legend Returns”, we will be seeing the main scenario continue, a new Alliance Raid that has a scenario created Yasumi Matsuno, the father of Ivalice, a new dungeon called “The Drowned City of Skalla”, and Shirogane open for player housing.

Square Enix provided new details on this content through their new Patch 4.1 site.

We’ll be getting even more details on The Legend Returns in a new Letter from the Producer Live broadcast on Friday, September 29th.

Main Scenario — The Legend Returns

WARNING — STORMBLOOD SPOILERS
The liberation of Ala Mhigo signals the end of an era of tyranny. Here, on the cusp of a new age of freedom, her people must decide how they will greet their future…and reconcile with their past. What path lies ahead for Lyse and her efforts to rebuild the nation? What choices plague Fordola from within her prison cell? And to where will Raubahn return, now that the dream for his homeland has at last become a reality?

Alliance Raid — Return to Ivalice: Rabanastre

This morning, residents of Kugane woke to find above their city an airship unlike any ever seen. Yet while of Garlean design, the vessel distinctly lacked the bleak outfitting common in the Empire’s warmachina. No, this was the Prima Vista, private stage for the Majestic Imperial Theater Company─a troupe having won acclaim across Garlemald for their timeless work, “The Zodiac Brave Story.” Which begets the question…why are they here? The answer to that question and more lies in the selfsame legend of which they sing. The legend of Ivalice.

This alliance raid series features guest creators Yasumi Matsuno and Keita Amemiya.

Dungeon — The Drowned City of Skalla

Long ago, in the dawn of the Fifth Astral Era, the modest nation of Skalla was founded in the land of Gyr Abania. Over the span of several centuries, its people constructed a grand city of stone at the bottom of a steep-walled ravine, but even this natural defense could not protect Skalla from destruction during a terrible age of war. When the great flood of the Sixth Umbral Calamity later swept across the realm, the hollow ruins of the city were lost to sight, its remnants submerged beneath a raging sea. Haunting the depths of what is now Loch Seld, Skalla’s silent walls lure adventurers into the salt-laden waters with the promise of mysteries unsolved and treasures unclaimed.

Player Housing — Shirogane

At long last, plots in picturesque Shirogane will go on sale. Set to the backdrop of the exotic Far East, the area offers a lifestyle experience like no other. Won’t you carve yourself a slice of Hingan paradise?

Storage — Storage will be added to all forms of housing, allowing residents to stow their furnishings. Whether you wish to declutter or relocate, it will doubtless prove to be a boon.
