After the Live Letter from the Producer wraps up around 11:30 PM,Final Fantasy 14will be doing a series of fun segments for players to enjoy. The schedule features quizzes based onFinal Fantasy 14music and the Eorzea Cafe, a chat with members of the Japanese voice cast, and a live Q&A. The event will wrap with a chat betweenFinal Fantasy 14director and producer Naoki Yoshida and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the “Father ofFinal Fantasy” himself, as they discuss their hobbies, experiences, and game design.
Sakaguchi was the creative mind behind everyFinal Fantasytitle up until 2003, when he left Square Enix to form Mistwalker. Last September,Sakaguchi began his journey inFinal Fantasy 14, cruising through the game at breakneck speed. He is now an accomplished raider, landowner, and advocate forFinal Fantasy 14–not to mention a personal friend of Yoshida, who helped celebrate Sakaguchi’s one-year anniversary with the game. Many fans hope Sakaguchi’s increased interactions withFinal Fantasy 14could lead to him collaborating with Yoshida for a future raid series.
The Live Letter from the Producer will be discussingFinal Fantasy 14Patch 6.2, and will be taking a closer look at the features coming in Patch 6.25.Final Fantasy 14will also be taking a closer look at the work done by the Scenario Team, with special guests including lead story designer Daichi HIroi and senior story designers Natsuko Ishikawa and Banri Oda. The Live Letter will begin at 9:30 PM, and is the second event of the 14-Hour Broadcast.

The Live Letter from the Producer for 6.3 will likely happen sometime in November, with its release in December or early January.
