For final Fantasy 14 fans, there is good news and bad news: the good news is that the date of the next "producer's letter" live launch of Final Fantasy XIV producer and director Naoki Yoshida has been set, and the bad news is that this day is April 1.
The show will reportedly cover new content from the 6.1 patch, as well as details of the second part of the 6.1 patch, as well as the mysterious "unknown" update, which has not been explicitly stated at this time.
Players will be able to watch through YouTube and Twitch at that time, just like the previous shows, although the PPT will be presented in English and Japanese, but the discussions and interviews will only be in Japanese.
As PCGN rightly points out, the timing of the show, though frustrating for fans trying to figure out the real news from The April Fool's Jokes. The official previous message does indicate that the patch should be released on April 12, as patches tend to be released 11 days after the Live Letter demo.
The free Final Fantasy XIV demo is now back. Late last year, ahead of the release of the new DLC "Endwalker," the massive increase in its player base led to long queues, and free trials were withdrawn, and it only resumed sales a few months ago.
Final Fantasy XIV is now the most profitable game in Square Enix's RPG series. Yoshida revealed the milestone at an Extended Endwalker preview event late last year, confirming that the online game now has more than 24 million players. This is 11 years after the game was first released and criticized in its initial state.
In a chart shared with the media, the game had 4 million registered users in 2015 and then reached 10 million when the third DLC was released in 2017, a number that has doubled since then.
