FFXIV's Patch 7.21 is upon us, and with it came the Cosmic Exploration content that's been teased for so long. Is it any good? We discuss our experiences with the content, as well as discussing some of the issues we've encountered so far. We also discuss the other updates that came with patch 7.21, new merchandise (microplastics alert), and we discuss the eternally awkward position for MCH in FFXIV's physical ranged category. Welcome!

Soken has been interviewed by several news outlets the past few weeks, and we dive into a few of them to learn how Soken's strange mind works. We also discuss the new optional items in FFXIV (with the horrible wings), the Korean outfit name change, and the 2025 Furnishing Design Contest! And in MogMail we (meaning I, Lukile) finally get to talk about 1.0's leves again! We also discuss Hrothgar and Viera heads, and more theorizing about Occult Crescent.
