Why it matters
Poetics has been the currency players exchange for old gear since 2014, and retiring it means the game has to redirect that flow somewhere else, a change Yoshida is flagging months ahead rather than springing at patch notes.
Key Facts
- Square Enix held the day two stage livestream of FINAL FANTASY XIV FAN FESTIVAL 2026 in TOKYO on November 1.
- Producer and director Naoki Yoshida said "Poetics" will disappear and asked players to hold out a few more months.
- Allagan Tomestone of Poetics was implemented in 2014 and is obtained mainly from level 50 and above dungeons and trials.
- Fishing bait will become list-managed and no longer need to be held as items.

Asked whether Allagan Tomestones would disappear, Yoshida said "Poetics" will disappear and asked players to hold out a few more months. Fishing bait will also become list-managed rather than held as items.
Yoshida's answer did not cover what replaces Poetics or which patch removes it. The item has been obtained mainly from level 50 and above dungeons and trials and traded to NPCs for equipment since 2014. The same Q&A addressed inventory pressure on the fishing side: bait will be list-managed, so it no longer occupies item slots, and a "fishing bait notebook" function will narrow the list to bait usable at the spot being fished.
