Square Enix's poor timing strikes again - New cash shop gear have raised some eyebrows this week. Not only is it an expensive set - it looks terrible! We also discuss the (now) ongoing Moogle Treasure Trove, the changes to Forked Tower, and seething at the seemingly unending list of features in FFXIV Mobile that we don't have in FFXIV. Send us MogMail with your thoughts about Forked Tower, Moogle Treasure Trove, or FFXIV Mobile! We'll be reading as much as we can next week!

The FFXIV community seems split after Yoshi-P's recent comments about the lack of quality control the past few patches. We discuss a recent article about a shareholder meeting where the CEO of Square Enix addressed the comments, as well as Yoshi-P's position in the company. The LuckyBancho census has made the rounds again, and once again we discuss the numbers. We also discuss the Heavensward 10th anniversary sweepstakes, The Primals tickets, and another FFXI discount campaign. Oh, and of course - MogMail!

Live Letter 87 has concluded and it came with a LOT of very interesting information! The first half has caused big waves in the community, after Yoshi-P said that a Forked Tower normal version was scrapped because of 'costs'. What does that mean? - We discuss that as well as the actual exciting new stuff coming with patch 7.3 like the new dungeon, deep dungeon, Echoes of Vana'diel part 2 and more! Welcome!

FFXIV's housing system has always been criticized for its clunky design, but now that WoW's new housing system has been revealed, it's become clear that our housing system is starting to show its age. Are there things we can do to improve FFXIV's existing system, or are we stuck in a 400-slot hell for mansions forever? We also discuss the preorder for a new second cookbook, Downtown LA Gathering, and viewer feedback on Occult Crescent. Welcome!

Occult Crescent: South Horn has been out for more than two weeks now, and the community's opinion is starting to form. It's surprisingly not all praise, and we discuss how and why the community feels this way. We also discuss the recently announced Live Letter - what do can we expect in patch 7.3? FFXIV will have a presence at Anime Expo in LA, and we go through all the things you can expect from the event. Remember to send us MogMail!

FFXIV's Patch 7.25 has arrived, and with it came the much anticipated Field Operation content "Occult Crescent: South Horn"! It's time to break down the patch and give our review of Occult Crescent so far. We also discuss the other changes and additions that came with FFXIV Patch 7.25, but we will not review Hildibrand or the allied society quest this week - but we will next week! We also discuss the new optional items, and an upcoming physical CD from The Primals.

More news about FFXIV Mobile has come out - including screenshots! Some of the information is as expected - monetization especially - but other information is very interesting. The dye system, glamour log etc. We also review the Make It Rain Campaign for 2025, discuss the upcoming (currently released) Patch 7.25, and Krile's aether density.

Make It Rain 2025 has hit FFXIV, and we discuss the (then) upcoming event - will it be a banger or a flop? We also discuss Yoshi-P's upcoming appearance at Anime Expo 2025, the Twelve outfits, how GTA 6 might affect FFXIV (and all other games), and we take a look at Square Enix's 2025 financial report (it more interesting than it sounds)!

It's been a quiet week in the world of FFXIV as we slowly but surely get closer to Occult Crescent's release. While we wait we dive into our MogMail bag to read your questions and theories. Among the topics are: How are Seasonal Events made? How much info should FFXIV's devs reveal before expansion release? And in the Great Discussion we ask: Are the Scions starting to get too bland?

FFXIV's latest large-scale crafting content Cosmic Exploration is proving to be quite challenging for the devs to keep running smoothly. Several major issues have been discovered over the past week, and we discuss the state of the content. In The Great Discussion we also discuss Tural and Tuliyollal - Will we ever go back there in the MSQ or are we remaining in Solution Nine until the pivot patch for the next expansion? And in MogMail we discuss the names of the shards and how Calyx knows them, as well as job abilities! Welcome!
