FFXIV's Fan Festival 2026 is soon upon us, and the Stage & Screen Schedule has been released. We dive into the news, and discuss what we can expect from the different events. In less great news; the stalking plugin - you know the one that appeared, then disappeared? Yeah, it's back again under a new name and it's pretty bad.

We also discuss the Crystalline Conflict Regional Championships for EU & Oceania, the Fan Fest 2026 Watch Party event in Australian, the upcoming second Dawntrail OST, and somehow, the stalking plugin returned - and we discuss the short lived successor and its sudden and dramatic downfall.
