Speakers of Hydaelyn

It's April, and we're officially less than a month away from the NA Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Anaheim! The Fan Fest schedule for the NA Fan Fest has been released and we read through it and discuss. The date for the next Live Letter has also been released, so it's time to prepare for a month full of exciting FFXIV news! We also read your MogMail!

Hatching-tide is here - and we give our full review of the event. We also discuss the change to FFXIV's age rating in Japan, and what it could mean for the future (and of course derailing and talking about the video game rating systems in other regions). Moogle tomestones are back too, and we go through the rewards this time. And in MogMail: If we could change the patch cycle, what would we be willing to sacrifice to decrease the time between patches?

With yet another patch on the horizon, we look back a little to discuss the past, present, and potentially future villains of Final Fantasy XIV. Who's still around? Who can we expect to see again someday? And who can we expect to never see again? We also discuss the (at the time) upcoming Hatching-tide event, we learn some more information from the Chinese Live Letter (mainly what content is in what patch), and we discuss Yoshi-P's comments about the release intervals of the Final Fantasy series.

The last part of Patch 7.4 is here - Patch 7.45 brings us a lot of changes and updates, including the new Variant dungeon - The Merchant's Tale! Is it as good as we hoped? Square Enix has also taken legal action against a malicious FFXIV blogger, and we discuss the state of the community. In MogMail we discuss what keeps us interested in FFXIV and discuss Halmarut theories.

We also discuss the upcoming Letter from the Producer LIVE, the 7.4 website's final update, and we review this year's Little Ladies' Day! And in MogMail: What is the next tank job? Welcome!

It's been a quiet week in FFXIV, but we still have some interesting things to discuss. Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is tanking in China, and the bells seem to be tolling for the future of the project. We also discuss the rapid decline of Discord, and what it means for the future of online communities (if the worst is to happen), and in MogMail we discuss everything from The Black Shroud - to Final Fantasy XIII.

FFXIV Patch 7.41 is out and with it came both the new crafting relic content and the next step in the Phantom Weapons relic quest. It seems Occult Crescent is being left behind a little, and we discuss what this means for the future of relics in the game. We also discuss the (at the time) upcoming Valentione's Day quest, and in MogMail we discuss the potential for a return to the First in 8.0.

It has been a slow news week in the Final Fantasy XIV community, but we're here to bring you some of the news you might have missed. We look back at Myths of the Realm and ask if it would have been better as an 8-man raid similar to The Arcadion than an alliance raid, and what do you do when a seasonal event offers housing items, but you don't own a house? We also dive into an interview with Tom Morello, Caleb Shomo, and Masayoshi Soken about the creation of the song "Everything Burns" from the Arcadion's final fight.

Yoshi-P has been answering FFXIV related questions during the Korean Live Letter last week. We discuss some of the most relevant questions. A new optional item is causing a little bit of a stir due to its appearance on male characters. And we dig into your MogMail and discuss a potential 'Return to Eorzea' expansion, 8.0 job speculation, and we discuss the potential recasting of G'raha Tia - is it necessary? Is G'raha Tia (and FFXIV) being held back because of Jonathan Bailey's schedule?

In a recent interview with the Korean outlet Inven, Yoshi-P announced potential plans for a full overhaul of Final Fantasy XIV due to the change in player habits and time. We discuss the potential changes (involving changes to the Tomestome system) and how he could pull off another major rework of Final Fantasy XIV.

A prolonged and very disruptive series of DDoS attacks have struck Final Fantasy XIV the past few weeks, with no clear end in sight. We discuss the issues people have been facing and how, if ever, it can be stopped. We also discuss the upcoming Moogle Treasure Trove - The Hunt For Revelation - and all the new items you can earn from the new moogle tomestones. Patch 7.38 also hit FFXIV the past week, so we naturally go through the patch notes of this tiny patch.

A wave of layoffs in Square Enix sparks worry, as the company enters the second year of its three year restructuring plan. We discuss the impact this will have on Square Enix as a whole, and if it will affect Final Fantasy XIV at all. The voice of G'raha Tia, Jonathan Bailey, was awarded the title "Sexiest Man Alive". We discuss if Jonathan Bailey is about to be replaced due to his likely high cost and limited schedule now. We also discuss mysteries in video games - and the risk of revealing too much. We also discuss SE's recent announcement about their push for AI, aiming to replace 70% of their QA teams with AI.► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpeakersXIV ► Become a Speakers YT Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BQVHKP5x3Cs62MB0DF5EQ/join ► Merchandise: https://speakersxiv-shop.fourthwall.com/ ► Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/speakersxiv.bsky.social ► Catch us LIVE on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/SpeakersXIV ► Speakers Discord: https://discord.gg/ATBUccS

There's been a lot of talk about FFXIV's content schedule through the years, but in the past year we've seen a lot more complaining than usual. Is it really true that FFXIV is getting less content, and over longer stretches of time? Or have we simply grown tired of the content that is provided in each patch? We discuss it all in this week's episode of Speakers of Hydaelyn. We also discuss a short comment Yoshi-P made in an interview a few weeks ago - with terrible timing as usual, as well as some new good looking merch!

Yet another Yoshi-P Interview, this time by TechRadar, sheds some more light on the upcoming Beastmaster limited job, as well as the future level cap, and the potential location for the next expansion...

Today we're discussing an interview with the German gaming news site JPGames.de, where he does into (absurd) detail about how content is paced, and why it needs to change.

What a week! Yoshi-P has announced the next Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival - ending speculation about when and where it may happen. But as usual, the announcement has spawned more speculation about patch pacing etc, and we discuss it all. Yoshi-P also released an announcement about mods and plugins in FFXIV following the drama surrounding the shutdown of Mare Synchronos. We also discuss the new optional items, the ceremony of eternal bonding website refresh, and in MogMail we discuss the identity of the ascian at the end of the 7.3 MSQ (and derailing as usual).

FFXIV's Patch 7.3 is edging ever closer to release, and a new special site has opened to show off some of the new stuff coming in that patch. We also discuss (even more) optional items, housing demolition for EU data centers, end of Windows 10 support, and in MogMail we discuss what kind of locations we want for 8.0. Welcome!

The next Letter from the Producer Live has been announced, and we speculate on what we'll see in the second part of the 7.3 tease. We have more news about features in FFXIV Mobile, and in MogMail we discuss the potential future graphics update, 1.0 vs ARR's animation quality, and how long can the devs blame spaghetti code for FFXIV's shortcomings?

Square Enix's poor timing strikes again - New cash shop gear have raised some eyebrows this week. Not only is it an expensive set - it looks terrible! We also discuss the (now) ongoing Moogle Treasure Trove, the changes to Forked Tower, and seething at the seemingly unending list of features in FFXIV Mobile that we don't have in FFXIV. Send us MogMail with your thoughts about Forked Tower, Moogle Treasure Trove, or FFXIV Mobile! We'll be reading as much as we can next week!

The FFXIV community seems split after Yoshi-P's recent comments about the lack of quality control the past few patches. We discuss a recent article about a shareholder meeting where the CEO of Square Enix addressed the comments, as well as Yoshi-P's position in the company. The LuckyBancho census has made the rounds again, and once again we discuss the numbers. We also discuss the Heavensward 10th anniversary sweepstakes, The Primals tickets, and another FFXI discount campaign. Oh, and of course - MogMail!

Live Letter 87 has concluded and it came with a LOT of very interesting information! The first half has caused big waves in the community, after Yoshi-P said that a Forked Tower normal version was scrapped because of 'costs'. What does that mean? - We discuss that as well as the actual exciting new stuff coming with patch 7.3 like the new dungeon, deep dungeon, Echoes of Vana'diel part 2 and more! Welcome!

FFXIV's housing system has always been criticized for its clunky design, but now that WoW's new housing system has been revealed, it's become clear that our housing system is starting to show its age. Are there things we can do to improve FFXIV's existing system, or are we stuck in a 400-slot hell for mansions forever? We also discuss the preorder for a new second cookbook, Downtown LA Gathering, and viewer feedback on Occult Crescent. Welcome!

Occult Crescent: South Horn has been out for more than two weeks now, and the community's opinion is starting to form. It's surprisingly not all praise, and we discuss how and why the community feels this way. We also discuss the recently announced Live Letter - what do can we expect in patch 7.3? FFXIV will have a presence at Anime Expo in LA, and we go through all the things you can expect from the event. Remember to send us MogMail!

FFXIV's Patch 7.25 has arrived, and with it came the much anticipated Field Operation content "Occult Crescent: South Horn"! It's time to break down the patch and give our review of Occult Crescent so far. We also discuss the other changes and additions that came with FFXIV Patch 7.25, but we will not review Hildibrand or the allied society quest this week - but we will next week! We also discuss the new optional items, and an upcoming physical CD from The Primals.

More news about FFXIV Mobile has come out - including screenshots! Some of the information is as expected - monetization especially - but other information is very interesting. The dye system, glamour log etc. We also review the Make It Rain Campaign for 2025, discuss the upcoming (currently released) Patch 7.25, and Krile's aether density.

Make It Rain 2025 has hit FFXIV, and we discuss the (then) upcoming event - will it be a banger or a flop? We also discuss Yoshi-P's upcoming appearance at Anime Expo 2025, the Twelve outfits, how GTA 6 might affect FFXIV (and all other games), and we take a look at Square Enix's 2025 financial report (it more interesting than it sounds)!
