Valentione's Day 2026 is now out in FFXIV, and we give our honest review. Is this a sign of what's to come in this year's seasonal events? We also discuss the new optional items and the player exclusive ticket sales for the Berlin Fan Fest, as well as reading your MogMail where we discuss the main scenario writers, The Great Withering, and the remaining Ascians. Welcome!

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. Welcome!

Patch 7.41 is out for FFXIV and we take a look at the special site which has been updated with new information, renders, and screenshots. We also discuss the new NA and EU Fan Fest info that's been released - an art contest, a glamour contest, and player exclusive ticket sales. We also discuss your MogMail; how will an expansion on the 9th deal with Living Memory, and what exactly is Creative Studio III working on besides FFXIV? (And a discussion about FFXII's gambit system). Welcome!

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. Welcome!

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? Welcome!
