Everything coming to Final Fantasy XIV typically makes its debut in FFXIV’s Letter from the Producer LIVE streams, providing first looks at upcoming seasonal events, collaborations, or even expansion details. A Live Letter broadcast always precedes new patch launches, revealing dates and trailers, and they usually run for quite some time.
If you keep an eye on Final Fantasy XIV’s Lodestone feed, you can get the heads up for new streams scheduled. However, we’ve got the details below on when FFXIV will host its next Live Letter, resources for the last ones, and what you can expect.
FFXIV Live Letter schedule, timezones, and countdown
The next FFXIV Letter from the Producer LIVE airs after Dawntrail launches on July 2, or June 28 for early access, 2024. For now, we don’t have a confirmed date on the Letter from the Producer LIVE 83.
If we use the Endwalker timeframe, the next FFXIV Live Letter should go live about a month and a half or two months after the Dawntrail update, with our best estimates putting it sometime in September. However, that doesn’t mean radio silence from Yoshida and his team. Expect Lodestone updates and communication through official social channels detailing hotfixes, patches, and any FFXIV downtime.

Catch up on the most recent FFXIV Live Letter (82)
For those keeping track, this is Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXXII (82). During the last broadcast on May 16, director and producer Naoki Yoshida delivered a nearly 5-hour-long presentation on upcoming changes and additions launching with Dawntrail. This included details on reworks and updates to all of the MMO’s older Jobs, plus peeks at the two new ones, Viper and Pictomancer.
Yoshida also noted the media tour was quickly approaching at the end of May, and that we’d see more from Dawntrail as those articles and impressions go live — something to hold us over on the road to FFXIV Version 7.0. As for what you can expect at the next Live Letter, we’ll likely see a few things like the launch trailer, a closer look at new zones, and more progress on the graphics update.

FFXIV Live Letter language and translation resources
While the streams are created in Japanese, for FFXIV’s Letter from the Producer LIVE LXXXI stream, Square Enix has said that it will feature a live Japanese to English interpreter.
This is common with the Live Letter streams but not guaranteed. For when they don’t, or just if you missed the stream, Square Enix releases a digest of the Live Letter on the official forums. These summarize all the information in English.
There’s no shortage of talented fan initiatives, either, as the FFXIV subreddit maintains a Discord channel of live interpretations in an unofficial capacity. After the stream, fan translators typically round up or clarify those points, too, giving eager players a resource that’s typically faster than waiting for the official Lodestone post.
