As expected, Final Fantasy XIV made its big expansion announcement at Fanfest this past weekend, and the Massively OP Podcast team is here to pick over the surprising details of the reveal. It’s more than just Stormblood, however, as WoW’s 7.1 patch, Daybreak’s mysterious new project, and a sad goodbye to a children’s MMO take up the hour.
It’s the Massively OP Podcast, an action-packed hour of news, tales, opinions, and gamer emails! And remember, if you’d like to send in your own letter to the show, use the “Tips” button in the top-right corner of the site to do so.
