This week, the PDR crew talks about patch 4.1, spoiler-free. The discussion topic shifts to one of the major issues in the game, the housing system, and how the lack of available houses and the inability to take part in one of the game’s biggest opportunities for creativity and individual expression has many players upset. Seyrr discusses the patron deity of crafters, Byregot, and we discover that Chille really loves when Luna does push-ups!

On this week’s episode, Klauss, Luna, Seyrr, and Chille discuss the news from Live Letter 39, which seemed to give more information about Patch 4.2 than it did 4.1, but we still try to talk about the upcoming content and changes expected in the newest patch. We discuss what people are doing to either keep entertained within FFXIV or to break the monotony caused by the current content drought. Seyrr’s lore segment goes over the Elementals of the Black Shroud, and we to figure out how Chille can be on so many podcasts in one day!

Things take a dark turn to Chille’s delight as Saferoth shares his passionate disdain for Estinien and Ishgard. Seyrr continues the lore of the Twelve as he discusses LLymlaen the Navigator.
