It's 2025 and the Speakers are back again to update you on all the latest news from the FFXIV community. We discuss the recent Lucky Bancho numbers, showing a worrying trend and indicating that FFXIV is experiencing negative growth in its player numbers. What gives? And how can it be remedied? We also discuss and review Heavensturn for 2025, and an interesting interview with FFXIV's battle director. And of course, we read some MogMail! Welcome back everyone!

It has been 10 years since the first episode of Speakers of Hydaelyn aired on Twitch for the first time (to 0 viewers). Today we look ahead towards 2025 and beyond. The classic series are getting new episodes, some are being reworked, and a brand new series is planned for next year. We also discuss the Endwalker Collector's Edition sweepstakes, the Pulse Remix Album, and in MogMail we dive deep into the Mandragora empire, and Beauty and the Beast for some reason.
