FFXIV Story Designer Natsuko Ishikawa and Quest Designer Saki Takayanagi will make an appearance at PAX Australia. This was revealed through a social post on X (formerly Twitter) through the official PAX Australia X account. The panel will be held on October 12, 2024 at 1pm – 2pm ACT.
The panel will be held in the main theater with Natsuko Ishikawa and Saki Takayanagi discussing the process of writing engaging and engrossing narrative and quest material for FFXIV. Ishikawa is well known for her contributions to the Coils of Bahamut Raid content, the Dark Knight Job Class questline, and the Shadowbringers expansion.
Ishikawa was also partially responsible for the Endwalker expansion, writing alongside other Main Scenario Writer Banri Oda. Both the Endwalker and Shadowbringers expansions were critically acclaimed and well received by the Final Fantasy XIV community. There was unanimous praise concerning several character storylines and how the narrative concluded. However, her involvement concerning the Main Scenario quests in the MMORPG ended there, as another writer took over for the Dawntrail expansion.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. The FFXIV panel will take place on October 12, 2024 at 1pm – 2pm ACT at PAX Australia.
