Final Fantasy XIV recently brought the servers up from maintenance to implement hotfixes to the latest Patch 6.08 released last month. The downtime mainly was to implement Steam and Square Enix account integration for Steam players to open Final Fantasy XIV. There were also a few minor bugs involving the Jumbo Cactpot drawing board and sound effect issues under certain conditions. In addition to this, the popular Aether data center now allows new character creation again; it was put on hold due to Endwalker’s popularity late last year.
