Final Fantasy 14 is headed to the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, as Square Enix has confirmed that the MMORPG will be highlighted at the event later this month. During the festivities, Final Fantasy 14 will broadcast Part 83 of Letter From The Producer Live, with game producer and director Naoki Yoshida covering some details about the upcoming Patch 7.1 content update.
Final Fantasy 14‘s next Live Letter broadcast will take place about three months after the Dawntrail expansion launch. Dawntrail was billed as the start of a new chapter in Final Fantasy 14, though some overarching conflicts and ideologies remained prevalent throughout Patch 7.0. Both the different cultures and technologies of Tuliyollal and Alexandria were brought into conflict during the second half of the main story, and while most of these points of contention were resolved, some lingering questions about the state of Alexandria, in particular, remain.
While it remains to be seen how the Dawntrail‘s full story will play out, players will soon have an idea of what to expect in the coming months. According to Square Enix, Part 83 of Letter From the Producer Live will be broadcast during the 2024 Tokyo Game Show on September 29 at 1:50 AM Eastern. The 90-minute presentation will be hosted by Naoki Yoshida and broadcast on Final Fantasy 14‘s YouTube channel with Japanese and English text available. Aside from learning what the update’s title will be, players can also expect to see details about the Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) raid, the Extreme version of the Interphos trial, and the opening act of the Echoes of Vana’diel alliance raid series that is part of a collaboration with Final Fantasy 11.
