The Carbuncle Chronicle Issue 36: Excitement & Speculations, for Patch 7.5 & NA FanFest

Hello Adventurers! It’s the most hype-able time of the year! In just a matter of weeks, the NA FanFest will be here and we’ll have the first details of Final Fantasy XIV’s next expansion! And the immediate Tuesday afterwards Patch 7.5 “Trail to the Heavens” drops! That’s a lot. So we’re here to break it all down and guess as to what our future holds. We start off with a look back at the previous Live Letter talking about the patch, then head straight into our hopes and predictions that are going to happen at FanFest! It’s a wild ride. Spoiler Levels: Pineapple Orange Jelly! “Made from Turali pineapples and navel oranges, the refreshing flavor of this jelly will remind you of Tural no matter where you are.” Before we get into all the new stuff that could be happening, we wanted to make sure to remember where we’ve been. Spoilers abound in this episode. OSMnotes Lots of things are happening! Why as we post this on a Thursday, tomorrow morning is the next Live Letter! And then next weekend? FanFest!
