Final Fantasy XIV will share some 7.0 Job details during May’s Live Letter

The anticipation is killing me.

The 81st Final Fantasy XIV Live Letter From the Producer finally has a scheduled broadcast time and, as many have been expecting, it will focus primarily on Job information for the upcoming expansion Dawntrail.

The wait for Dawntrail is nearly over, with the release date for the next expansion set for just two months from now on July 2 and early access a few days earlier, so of course the dev team is promoting it and giving out more information about what to expect. 

The next Live Letter From the Producer, which will be streaming live on May 16, is set to include some much anticipated 7.0 Job updates. Alongside details for the new Viper and Pictomancer jobs, there will hopefully be more information given on the overhauls coming to both Astrologian and Dragoon. 

If you’re uncertain as to whether your setup can handle the massive graphical updates coming with Dawntrail, there’s still time to download and try out the Benchmark.

How to watch FFXIV Live Letter 81

As always, the Live Letter will be streamed live on both the FFXIV YouTube channel and the FFXIV Twitch channel

The stream is set to start at 7 a.m. EST / 4 a.m. PST / 12 p.m. GMT on Thursday, May 16, so this one might be a little tricky to watch live in the US. However, as always, the stream will be available to watch after the fact on the FFXIV YouTube channel.

Thankfully, this Live Letter will include a live translation from Japanese to English, so we won’t be left guessing any of the details, which is especially handy given the technical aspects of Job showcases.
