Final Fantasy 14 players are in for a treat as the highly-anticipated crossover event with Final Fantasy 16 is set to debut tomorrow. This collaboration between the popular MMO and the latest installment in the renowned RPG series offers players a range of exciting rewards, from adorable minions to stylish armor sets.
The announcement of the FFXIV/FFXVI crossover was made by Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida, the director of Final Fantasy 14 and the producer of Final Fantasy 16, during the Final Fantasy Fan Fest in London last year. Players can look forward to a level 50 quest that will feature gear inspired by the protagonist of FF16, Clive Rosfield. This includes eye-catching armor sets that showcase Clive’s unique style, as well as a loyal wolfhound companion named Torgal, who can be both a mount and a cute minion.
In addition to the main rewards, players can also expect to receive a Clive Triple Triad card and a variety of orchestration rolls that feature music from Final Fantasy 16, composed by the talented Masayoshi Soken. The Path Infernal event draws inspiration from Clive’s connection to the fire deity Ifrit, offering an engaging gameplay experience for players.
For those who have yet to play Final Fantasy 16, there is no need to worry about spoilers, as Yoshida reassured fans that the crossover quest won’t reveal too much of the main story. Players have until May 8th to complete the quest and obtain the exclusive rewards. While the release of FF16 on PC may still be a while away, the excitement surrounding the crossover event is palpable.
Players can kick off the crossover event by starting the quest “A Land on Fire” in Ul’dah’s Steps of Nald. However, it is important to note that players must be at least level 50 and have completed the main scenario quest “The Ultimate Weapon” from the base game, A Realm Reborn, to participate in the event. The adventure awaits, and players are encouraged to dive into this thrilling collaboration between two beloved Final Fantasy titles.
