[FFXIV] Letter from the Producer XIII – Patch 5.3 Delay & Fan Fest | SoH | #198

In this episode of Speakers of Hydaelyn we discuss the recent Letter From the Producer (not to be confused with the Letter from the Producer LIVE – this is the *written* Letter from the Producer, which we’ve so far only had 13 of as of today.), where we finally learn what’s happening with the FFXIV Fan Fest 2020. We have mixed feelings about it. We also learn more about the 5.3 delay (it’s way longer than we expected), and the fact that the Hydaelyn/Zodiark storyline’s ending has been decided. And to top it all off: MogMail!
