Now that the patch added new quests, it also included a variety of customization options in terms of choosing stats of Anima Weapons.

Another admirable feature of patch 3.5 is its improved cross server party finder.

"Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward" had an issue with the Party Finder because of its closed server architecture. However, the new patch enables cross-server matching, where access to available players increases to thousands.

The new cross server enhancement only allows players to group with others whose worlds are from the same data center, but "Heavensward" has six data centers and at least eight servers that still allow players wide access with other gamers.

The new patch also enhanced the gamers' ability to socialize by adding more hairstyles and Egi glamours that allow them to express themselves more.
