Square Enix just sent along some information on the upcoming patch 4.1 for Final Fantasy XIV. This patch, slated for release in early October, will be the first major patch since the release of the Stormblood expansion. Details on this new update were announced first during a 14-hour livestream.
• New Main Scenario and Side Quests – The fan favorite Hildibrand quest series also returns.
• New 24-Player Alliance Raid – Titled “Return to Ivalice,” featuring guest creator Yasumi Matsuno
• New Primal Battle – Shinryu makes a triumphant comeback in a new extreme difficulty challenge
• New ‘Ultimate’ Difficulty Raid – The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate) brings a new challenge to the most hardcore thrill seekers
• Adventurer Squadron Updates – Players and squadron members may now team up and explore dungeons together
• PvP Content: “Rival Wings” – Ride goblin mechs and fight your opponents in 24 v 24 matches
• Housing Update – Sale of plots in Shirogane will begin, along with the addition of swimming areas in all housing districts
• New Instanced Dungeon – The Drowned City of Skalla
• The Lost Canals of Uznair Update – Venture even deeper into the submerged chambers for greater rewards and challenges
• New Beast Tribe Quests: The Kojin
• And much more

The livestream also provided some new art for the upcoming 24-player raid, Return to Ivalice. That art can be seen above.

One last bit is word that players will again be able to collect Yo-Kai themed weapons, minions, and mounts starting from today until November 1.

An archive of the event can be seen below. I think it cut off a bit though since the YouTube video is only about 12 hours long.
