Final Fantasy 14 fans have spent weeks grappling with its new typing minigame, Keyboard Brawler, and the bots and impossible words it's been throwing at them – but Patch 7.58 has arrived, and it makes the Gold Saucer event a tad easier, thankfully.

Keyboard Brawler is great, if you ask me, even if it can be challenging. Its limited-time nature means you'll want to grind it out as soon as you're able, however, before it departs in January and the new expansion Evercold takes hold of your attention.

The thing is, though, it's not so simple to tackle should a foreign word come up that doesn't match your keyboard's region – like, say, doppelgänger… and, until now, such words have indeed come up.

I've run into the dreaded umlaut-ridden words myself, panicking on the spot only to find out I could've used a keyboard shortcut or something similar to type them out.

Better yet, Square Enix is on the case now itself with some tweaks as part of its official Patch 7.58 notes – yes, the very same Patch 7.58 that sees Europe and North America's servers merge in Party Finder (raiders, this one's truly for us) – addressing this and Keyboard Brawler's other problems.

For instance, "An issue when participating in Keybound Brawler wherein players were erroneously determined to be inactive and subsequently removed from the duty." And then, "An issue when participating in Keybound Brawler wherein, after disconnecting and reconnecting under certain conditions, words no longer appeared during the duty, and words would no longer refresh when re-entering the duty."
