The schedule for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Tokyo, Japan has been released! We go through the schedule and discuss. We also discuss yet another two album releases, new optional items, and we finally get an update on the Crucible rankings situation. The same-region player matching system deployed on the JP datacenters has led to some surprisingly hostile reactions, and of course, we discuss Patch 7.57. Welcome!
