The next major update for the popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV arrives next month, and Square Enix has revealed what we can look forward to. Update 6.5, entitled “Growing Light” will deliver the usual things you’d expect, including a new main story chapter, dungeon, and Unreal Trial, as well as… Fall Guys crossover content?
