Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.58 expands matchmaking in Europe and North America

Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.58 expands matchmaking and party recruitment across logical data centers in Europe and North America. The patch notes say players on the same physical data center can find one another regardless of their current World.

A player on one European logical data center can find a party on another European center through Duty Finder or Party Finder. Matching stays within each physical region: Europe and North America do not share a pool. The system was introduced in Japan before its planned expansion to the two regions with the November 10 patch.

Square Enix’s guide says players can visit a World on another logical center in the same region through Visit Another World Server in the starting cities. Housing and retainers remain available only on the Home World, and players can still list market board items for sale only there.

The patch also starts Crystalline Conflict season 22 and raises the Echo in AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) to 17% for maximum HP, damage and healing potency.
