Grand Nagus:
Final Fantasy XIV
We only have one full week until FanFest NA takes place in Anaheim, CA.
We will have PLL 92 on April 17, and Patch 7.5 will be released on April 28.
So, the rest of the month of April is going to be busy this year.
Get ready, Warriors of Light! FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival 2026 in Anaheim is on the horizon, and we are excited to share a stage schedule packed with big announcements, special guests, and unforgettable moments for fans joining in person or watching from home!
Sale Period
Wednesday, 8 April 2026 at 8:00 (GMT) / 9:00 (BST) / 18:00 (AEST) until maintenance begins for the release of Patch 7.5
We’re gonna have the next PLL this coming Friday.
I hope to see a closer look at the 7.5 content, including the housing changes. Sorry, but I'm just that kind of guy. I love housing in this game.
One of the things I will be looking for is a statement about the previously mentioned Housing UI Upgrade. What I hope to see from that is free placement of items, like WoW has, scaling of items, again, like WoW has, and implementation of dual dyes to housing items.
Another thing I look forward to is the release time of Beastmaster. We all think it’s not gonna come with the 7.5 patch, but if it’s coming with 7.51, 7.55 or 7.56 will be the issue.
Personally, I can see them launching it sometime in Q3 or Q4 of 2026, so sometime between the EU and JP FanFests. That would put it at about 7.55.
I was lucky enough to get a 100 score on the Fashion Report challenge. It doesn’t give you more MGP, but you get the achievement. So once you did it once, you can stick with getting to a 80 score from there on out.
We are almost done with the final component for the second submersible of our FC.
The first one is currently Rank 41 and is upgraded to the point where it is good to go until Rank 85, before any more upgrades are needed.
The final component I’m crafting is a Shark-Class stern.
Our JP FC also started gardening. Since we only have one gardening plot slot on a small house, it takes a little longer, but I went the route of the cheapest possible production.
Krakka Root Seeds are the only seed that you can only get from a vendor, and it’s really expensive. So I cut the use of that seed in half, at the cost of one additional cross-breeding cycle. But we can get the topsoil from the retainers or mining, so it’s not a monetary element.
Greetings April, Grand Nagus and Big G,
Hope you are all doing well. I'm finally on my 2 weeks off and while not much gaming content, it's been good to just spend a few days recuperating. I haven't taken any screenshots this time, just a short audio but once I get a few boring things settled here, I will dive back into the games even more. Oh and thanks to Grand Nagus for highlighting NieR: Automata in the last episode. I'll likely miss it this sale but look forward to probably getting it next time :D
Attached is another audio for this episode. I'm now in Patch 3.5 content on my main and spending what time I can levelling my Japan Data Centre character. Below are just a couple of upgraded gear screenshots.
Attached is another update from me and a couple of FFXIV screenshots.
Cheers,
Rigarmorty
