Endwalker is here and we're (kinda) ready to discuss our spoiler free first impressions of FFXIV's latest expansion. Rest assured that there are no spoilers in this episode, and we will not be covering any MSQ related content in the next episode either. This episode is safe if you haven't finished the MSQ yet.

We finally finish the first half of the enormous interview Famitsu did with Yoshi-P about the lore of FFXIV and the future of the game. We also look closer at some interview bits translated by Sakaguchi, as well as some teasing by Yoshi-P about 6.1 and beyond from another upcoming Famitsu interview! And of course: MogMail!

With 2 weeks to go, we continue the long Famitsu lore interview with Yoshi-P we started on in episode 267. Lots of interesting tidbits from both early days of 1.0 and development insight. We also read your MogMail, and go through the updated release schedule following the delay of Endwalker.

The FFXIV ToS has been updated and has once again caused a riot in the community. But is the outrage the same we saw in 2019? Are the concerns justified? We also look at the Endwalker website, as there is new information there including the new crafter and gatherer gear. We of course also read your MogMail! Welcome!
