FFXIV 6.48 micro-patch tweaks PvP, splits Radz-at-Han into instances

We’re still a long way out from Patch 6.5 of Final Fantasy XIV, and to tide us over, Square Enix has made some tweaks, changes, and PvP alterations in the 6.48 micro-patch. Why do we call it a micro-patch? Well, there are only a few changes, and we’ll go over them below!

Crystalline Conflict changes

• Season Seven will end and Season Eight will begin.
• When the season ends, the top 100 ranking players from each data center will receive vouchers via the moogle delivery service.
• Players finishing in bronze tier or higher can claim rewards by speaking with the Seasonal Quartermaster at the Wolves' Den Pier (X:4.9 Y:5.7).
• Tier rewards for Season Seven must be claimed before the end of Season Eight.
• Players will begin Season Eight five risers lower than the rank at which they finished Season Seven. Rising Stars will be reset to zero.

PvP Changes

• The commendation quartermaster NPC has been moved to (X:4.5 Y:6.2) on Wolves' Den Pier.

General Changes

• The division of Radz-at-Han into multiple instances, added to alleviate congestion in Patch 6.4, will be removed.

Overall, this small litany of changes will not have a huge effect, but it's good to see Radz-at-Han get split into instances. With so many people grinding through Hildibrand Relic Weapons and upgrading gear, it was getting difficult to click on NPCs.
