Final Fantasy XIV Tabletop Game Comes as Players Are Still Anticipating the Upcoming 7.0 Downtrail Expansion
The recommended number of players in the game is three to five players. One of those players will have to act as the Game Master, like what would happen in other tabletops.
Back in July 2023, Square Enix released an announcement regarding the new 7.0 Downtrail expansion. According to PC Gamer, the expansion will come out for "Final Fantasy XIV" around the summer of 2024.
