Days after revealing the release date of the Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail expansion, Square Enix confirmed that fans can expect to hear more news about it during the next Letter from the Producer LIVE event on April 12 and 13. The upcoming Final Fantasy 14 broadcast is expected to touch upon Dawntrail news that was not covered at the March 23 PAX East panel.
The news came just a few days after Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail pre-orders went live across the globe on all platforms. While the PlayStation and Xbox pre-orders went off without many problems, some Final Fantasy 14 players reported issues with pre-orderingDawntrail on the Square Enix Store. The storefront's website kept crashing due to the sheer volume of users trying to access it and place pre-orders, and the problems lasted over several hours. At the time of writing, traffic on the Square Enix Store has since slowed to a normal pace, and pre-orders for the Dawntrail expansion now function as intended.
Soon, Final Fantasy 14 players will get even more news in the weeks leading up to Dawntrail. According to Square Enix, Final Fantasy 14 will host Letter From The Producer Live Part 80 starting Saturday, April 13 at Midnight Eastern. The Live Letter will start one hour into Final Fantasy 14's annual 14-hour broadcast, with game producer and director Naoki Yoshida initially discussing the game's 10th anniversary to start things off. Yoshida will discuss the Dawntrail expansion, including miscellaneous updates not brought up during PAX East. One of the planned segments is called «A Realm Resplendent with Warriors of Light», which will go over some statistics about the state of Final Fantasy 14.
However, one of the most anticipated updates about Dawntrail that will likely be brought up is the PC benchmark for the expansion. Given that Final Fantasy 14 will have its first major graphical update when Dawntrail launches in early access on June 28, the benchmark will give players a free tool to gauge what parts of their PCs need to be upgraded to play the expansion, and a way to preview how their characters will look with the updated graphics. In past expansions such as Endwalker, a benchmark was released exclusively for Windows a few months before launch.
It remains to be seen how Yoshida will talk about Dawntrail's graphics update during the Live Letter portion of the broadcast. With the Live Letter and the Final Fantasy 16 crossover event now slated for April, Final Fantasy 14 players will have more to look forward to soon.
