Final Fantasy 14's devs are hosting a mammoth 14-year stream next month to celebrate the game's anniversary.

As announced earlier today on the Final Fantasy 14 Lodestone, the huge broadcast will be beginning live at 8 p.m. PT/11 p.m. ET on Friday, October 7. As with the majority of Final Fantasy 14 broadcasts though, it's always worth noting there won't be a live translation for the show.

Perhaps the biggest feature of the show is another Letter From the Producer Live, kicking off at 9:30 p.m. PT/12:30 a.m. ET. According to the Lodestone, this episode of the live show will reflect on patch 6.2, as well as look ahead to what to expect from patch 6.25. There'll also be a scenario-focused segment, featuring writers Natsuko Ishikawa, Banri Oda, and Daichi Hiroi.

Perhaps most interesting, though, will be a chat between Yoshida and Final Fantasy 14 series creator and pioneer Hironobi Sakaguchi. The two-hour segment will kick off at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET, and if you've been following Sakaguchi's activities over the last year or so, you'll know the man's absolutely obsessed with Final Fantasy 14, even establishing his own in-game clothing line called SakaGUCCI.

This should be one broadcast you won't want to miss, featuring beloved writers like Ishikawa, and game dev icons like Sakaguchi. The new 14-hour show is actually the eighth time Final Fantasy 14's devs have put on such a presentation, spanning all the way back to the early days of A Realm Reborn.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently said there was still hope for Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox consoles.
