   Dawntrail Retrospective & What Evercold Needs to Improve

   Chewin the Fat Cat is a weekly Final Fantasy XIV podcast from friends Buddycat, Ashen, and Hozaho. We're back after more than a month away! This week we're looking back at Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail now that the expansion's story has wrapped up. We share our final thoughts, talk about what we loved (and didn't love), and discuss what Square Enix can learn from Dawntrail going into Evercold. We also talk about the final MSQ, the hints about a new job and factions, and PLEASE, more voice acting! There's also so many events happening in FFXIV right now! All Saints' Wake is back with bears and Cait Sith, Fall Guys has already returned, the Yo-kai Watch collaboration is wrapping up. Plus, there's still time to grab the Regalia mount from the FFXV crossover event. We also check out the new Final Fantasy and Diesel apparel collection. Spoiler alert it's really expensive. Then it's time for another round of Name That Final Fantasy Tune, this time Beastmaster style, followed by Two Truths and an Eorzean Lie.
