Tomorrow marks the arrival of the highly anticipated crossover event between Final Fantasy 14 and Final Fantasy 16. Fans of both the MMO and the latest single-player entry in the RPG series are in for a treat with an array of exclusive in-game rewards. From adorable minions to stylish armor sets, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this exciting collaboration.
The crossover event was first announced by Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida, the director of Final Fantasy 14 and the producer of Final Fantasy 16, during last year’s Final Fantasy Fan Fest in London. Players can expect to embark on a level 50 quest that offers gear inspired by FF16 hero Clive Rosfield, including his iconic pecs-showcasing armor available as Metian glamours. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to acquire the loyal wolfhound Torgal as both a rideable mount and an adorable minion in its puppy form.
In addition to the headline items, the crossover event features a Clive Triple Triad card and a collection of orchestration rolls based on FF16’s exceptional soundtrack, composed by FF14’s very own Masayoshi Soken. The Path Infernal event draws inspiration from Clive’s connection to the fire deity Ifrit, offering players a taste of the thematic elements present in FF16. Despite the thematic tie-ins, Yoshida reassures players that participating in the event will not spoil much of FF16’s storyline, making it accessible to all.
To join in on the festivities, players can initiate the event by starting the quest “A Land on Fire” located in Ul’dah’s Steps of Nald. However, participants must be at least level 50 and have completed the main scenario quest “The Ultimate Weapon,” which serves as the culmination of the base game A Realm Reborn. The event will run until May 8th, providing players with ample time to complete the quest and acquire the exclusive gear before the deadline.
The FFXIV and FF16 crossover event is a unique opportunity for fans of the series to experience a blend of content from both games. With a range of exciting rewards and engaging quests, players are sure to be delighted by the collaboration between these beloved titles. So, gear up, mount your trusty wolfhound, and dive into the adventure before the event concludes.
