The news of the next Live Letter comes amid a busy time for the critically acclaimed MMORPG. On May 27, Final Fantasy 14 Patch 7.25 was released following several hours of server maintenance. The 7.25 update brought players to the Occult Crescent field operation zone, which was one of Dawntrail' s most anticipated features of the expansion. Drawing inspiration from Final Fantasy 14's War of the Magi and the classic Final Fantasy 5, the Occult Crescent allows players to level up Phantom Jobs and explore an open area. Patch 7.25 also included a new Hildibrand quest chapter and the Mamool Ja society quests for Gatherers to experience.

Final Fantasy 14's 7.3 update will serve as the climax of the Dawntrail expansion story arc, as the Warrior of Light and their allies face off against the Endless scientist named Calyx, who debuted in the previous Patch 7.2 story quests.
