First Look at Upcoming Content to Debut during 14-Hour Livestream
LOS ANGELES (August 28, 2017) – The FINAL FANTASY XIV Online community is celebrating the critically acclaimed MMO’s fourth anniversary, following the successful launch of Stormblood, the title’s second expansion pack.
To mark this momentous occasion, the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online development team will host a special 14-hour livestream, which spans from September 1 to 2. This special livestream includes the 38th installment of the ‘Letter from the Producer LIVE’ series, talk sessions with the development team and other special guests, and fun in-game challenges being tackled by the team!
Players can expect a first look at Patch 4.1 content, where Yasumi Matsuno (FINAL FANTASY XII / FINAL FANTASY TACTICS) will join Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida to discuss the upcoming 24-player alliance raid, “Return to Ivalice.” Matsuno will write the scenario for the raid as a special guest creator, bringing the world of Ivalice to FINAL FANTASY XIV Online.
“This past year has been full of memorable moments,” said Naoki Yoshida ahead of the stream. “From Fan Festivals in Las Vegas, Tokyo, and Frankfurt, right through to the launch of Stormblood, we have been honored by the continued support of our players and are overjoyed to share this occasion with them. I wanted to thank our entire community, which has now reached 10 million Warriors of Light, for supporting us this far—here’s to even more exciting things to come!”
Adding to the numerous events surrounding the anniversary, Koji Fox from the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online localization team will host a panel at PAX West on September 2 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PT, during which he will answer player questions on lore and localization.
