Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.05 official notes: New battle content, combat balance changes, and more

Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.05 is a minor update that kicks off the "Race to World First" with the introduction of the Savage versions of the new raid series. The normal versions of these raids were added just a few weeks ago with patch 7.01. This staggered release of the raid series' different difficulty levels was a change made by Square Enix during the previous expansion to disincentivize veteran players from rushing through the storyline just to unlock the Savage version.

Here's a brief overview of all the latest additions and changes to Final Fantasy 14 in patch 7.05.
