It’s the calm before the storm that is Fan Fest, but we are still here to keep you company while we wait. In today’s episode we go through a number of MogMails and discuss a recent article that came out regarding how one keeps up in Final Fantasy XIV as a casual player.

Yeah, definitely be glad the Balance is the only Discord you have to join. I play multiple fighting games and all of them have separate Discords dedicated to each character.
Former player of 8 years here. (Unsubbed back in Feb.) Ive been around for the content lulls but this has been one of the worst, if not the worst for this game. Its sad to see that a lot of the usual suspects covering this game are struggling to put any kind of content out.
I check in still because I do want to return someday and I'm hoping to get some kind of excitement from the game. I really hope they blow out socks off with Fanfest and 7.0.
Re, the first Mogmail. You could always recieve a letter from the post moogle as a reminder to do a quest series haha. Little bit more organic. But yes I do agree the idea of a different coloured icon, or reminder tab is a good direction to go.
None of the optional normal raids or trials should be optional. There's too much story and too many characters locked away, unable to be referenced by the MSQ. All the 8-24 player stuff (except Coils, because it's too hard synced for raid roulette) should be required to progress past its expansion.
None of these are difficult to do in normal form. If you're afraid of doing them… don't be.
