Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker finished in dramatic fashion but as always, the show must go on. Producer Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that new characters will be introduced in the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV 6.1 update, who each play a very important role in the story going forward.
Detailing this further, here's what Yoshida had to say about Final Fantasy XIV 6.1 (courtesy of Siliconera):
“New characters will appear, but that’s really all I can say for now. However, we are simply not just adding new characters for the sake of furthering the story. I don’t believe that it would be right to think that just because we are entering a new chapter, that all of the things the Warrior of Light has built up until now would just disappear. It would be impossible to sever the bonds the player has created with these characters throughout their journey.”
