FFXIV Stress Test News & Dev Team Interviews | SoH | #261

During the mana stress test last week Yoshi-P “leaked” some new information about a certain fight getting a facelift in Endwalker. We also read a very interesting excerpt from an interview with Yoshi-P by Famitsu where he sheds some more light on Emet Selch and his disappointment in the WoL. We ALSO read some interviews with the dev team from Fan Fest earlier this year, translated by Akh Morning.
