Final Fantasy 14 patch 6.5 login issues, explored

Considering that this is such an important patch, you may or may not run into login issues once the servers go live. So what do you do if you cannot login after the Final Fantasy 14 patch 6.5 downtime has ended?

First of all, if you're unable to login or stuck at the login screen, it's recommended that you wait it out for a while. Since there's a lot of players trying to login at the same time, there's a high chance that the servers will be throttled. In that case, you might face some difficulty while logging in.

Alternatively, you could also check if you're experiencing any connectivity issues on your end as well. Try restarting your network devices like your modem and your router. If possible, you could also try switching to a wired connection, because wired connections are more stable than a wireless connection.

In case nothing works, check the official forums for any persisting login issues, or get in touch with support for quicker resolution.
