Celebrating its third anniversary, FINAL FANTASY® XIV continues to welcome new players to the world of Eorzea®, with over six million cumulative players globally—excluding free trial.

To honor the momentous occasion, the FINAL FANTASY XIV development team played host to a 14-hour live broadcast and invited viewers along for the ride. The broadcast featured the 31st installment of the ‘Letter from the Producer LIVE’ series, where producer/director Naoki Yoshida showcased upcoming game content, discussed and addressed fan feedback, and more. In this episode, Yoshida introduced and explained in detail all the content for Patch 3.4, “Soul Surrender,” releasing on September 27. The new patch includes new main scenario quests, dungeons, trials, the final stage of the 8-player raid Alexander, and more.
