Fatal Frame 2 Remake Balance Patch Nerfs Some Ghosts
Fatal Frame 2 Remake Balance Patch Nerfs Some Ghosts Now that Fatal Frame 2 Remake launched, Koei Tecmo confirmed there is a patch designed to address some balance issues with for some wraiths, and that makes encounters with those ghosts more fair. There aren’t extensive patch notes going over all adjustments, however. The patch is already live for the PS5 and PC versions. The Switch 2 and Xbox Series X versions will also get the update in the near future. The Fatal Frame 2 Remake game balance patch announcement specifically referenced two types of ghost encounters Mio can experience. One involves the new Aggravated Wraiths system. This kicks in during fights with certain spirits. They’ll suddenly heal and become stronger, and you’ll need to adjust tactics and do things like use different filters. These will adjusted due to player feedback. The other involves some of the Onryo ghosts we encounter, though no specific encounters were named.  As a reminder, this is the updated version of the PS2 game and pulls from that and not the later releases. A launch trailer appeared that highlighted some of the new gameplay elements, such as the ability for Mio to hold Mayu’s hand and some of the new encounters we’ll see.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC71I1r3cE4 Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake is on the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on March 12, 2026, and a demo is available.

First FFXIV Beastmaster Limited Job Details Shared
First FFXIV Beastmaster Limited Job Details Shared The Beastmaster Limited Job appeared for the first time in the FFXIV Letter from the Producer Live XCI , and it will function similarly to the class in past Final Fantasy games. The initial statement confirmed it won’t immediately be part of 7.5 Part 1, and instead will appear for players later in the 7.5x series. As the name suggests, someone who takes on the FFXIV Beastmaster Limited Job will be able to attack with monsters. This will be a melee DPS class that uses a one-handed axe for attacks not performed with its beasts. As it will be limited, its level cap will be 50. We’ll only be able to start to pursue it once it appears and start the role at level 1, and its job quests will show up at launch. There will be up to 50 monsters to catch, which you must find, fight, and weaken to catch. FFXIV Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida also confirmed you can do this on your own, as one of the slides during the announcement stated, “All beasts can be captured through solo play.” Once you do have monsters, you can have them walk with you, and up to three can be around at once in a fight. There will also be a dedicated Crucible of the Unbroken Duty specifically for Beastmasters to go into alone with their up-to-three monsters.  While there still is time before it appears, Yoshida already explained how to unlock the Beastmaster in the game. You’ll need to already have a Disciple of War or Magic job (like Arcanist, Archer, Blue Mage, Conjurer, Dancer, Reaper,  or Pictomancer) at a minimum of level 50. You must own the Dawntrail expansion. Fnally, you need to have finished the 2.0 Main Scenario Questline.  Here are some of the initial official Beastmaster screenshots from the official Final Fantasy social media account.  Images via Square Enix The Beastmaster has been part of Final Fantasy since FFV and appeared in spin-offs, though it sometimes showed up under a different name like with the Trainer Dressphere in FFX-2 .  Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the 7.5 Part 1 patch release date is April 28, 2026 .
