Here's the FF14 7.35 release date and the new Arkveld fight in its entirety

FF14 7.35 has just been revealed in full, courtesy of a special stage from game director Naoki Yoshida and community producer Toshio Murouchi at Tokyo Games Show. The event, which was live streamed by Square Enix, played out pretty much like a regular Final Fantasy 14 Live Letter, and gave us a full look at what we can expect from FF14 patch 7.35, which marks a key turning point for the critically acclaimed MMORPG. Not only is it the final update before we start moving towards the next expansion narratively, but it's also the testbed for some new mechanics and ideas that are set to pave the way for the future.

FF14 is going to have a tough time beating Monster Hunter Wilds' Omega update

Confirmation that the first Monster Hunter Wilds elder dragon is the returning Gogmazios certainly got long-time hunters like myself jumping out of our seats, but I fear it may have caused the most exciting news to slip under the radar. I'll admit to being a big Final Fantasy 14 fan, which does skew my opinion a touch, but the Omega Planetes event is shaping up to be even more impressive than World's take on Behemoth. FF14 game director Naoki Yoshida previously talked about wanting to up his team's game after feeling that it was 'defeated' by Monster Hunter's offering last time; it's going to have a tough job on its hands.

New FF14 special site unveils Monster Hunter Wilds crossover rewards

A new Final Fantasy 14 special site has just been launched covering the imminent Monster Hunter Wilds crossover event, which is set to land in early October. The collaboration is one of the most-requested for both games in recent years following the success of Stormblood's dance with Monster Hunter World. It will bring Guardian Arkveld to FF14, while MH Wilds is gearing up for the arrival of Omega Planetes. Now, Square Enix has given us a more in-depth look at the gear, mounts, minions, and housing items we'll be able to get their hands on - although I've got a sneaking suspicion there are still some treats to come.

After Dawntrail, FF14 director Yoshida wants to show the "strength of the hero"

Final Fantasy 14 game director Naoki Yoshida says we'll have plenty of chances to show off our strength in the MMO's upcoming stories, but warns that you might have to do some reading. Our Warrior of Light was supposed to be on vacation in Dawntrail, and, while that didn't pan out quite as we hoped, we still took more of a back seat to give the characters around us a chance to step up and grow. Patches 7.2 and 7.3 make it increasingly clear that approach won't be possible moving forward, however, so we sat down with 'Yoshi-P' at Gamescom to discuss becoming the hero again, solving puzzles, and Dawntrail's focus on family.
