A pretty extensive interview with assistant director of FFXIV, Tsuyoshi Yokozawa, about the Dawntrail 8-man raid The Arcadion has been released, and we dive into it to learn more about the development process. We also discuss the Crystalline Conflict Regional Championships for EU & Oceania, the Fan Fest 2026 Watch Party event in Australian, the upcoming second Dawntrail OST, and somehow, the stalking plugin returned - and we discuss the short lived successor and its sudden and dramatic downfall. Welcome!
