At Final Fantasy XIV's Fan Festival in London, the team shared an update about the upcoming Fall Guys collaboration coming to the game. Developed with the Mediatonic team it will be a cycling event that will be available for a limited time and will return at later periods. The first run will be available in-game on October 31st alongside Patch 6.51. Fall Guys is an online multiplayer game where players compete in various creative obstacle courses that require elements of platforming (and luck) to succeed. Given some of the Gold Saucer's existing challenges, such as the Leap of Faith or Anywhere the Wind Blows, the Fall Guys collaboration feels like a natural, albeit odd fit. The events will also feature a "great deal of unique prizes." Check out the trailer below, and our post on the latest about the new Dawntrail expansion.

Final Fantasy XIV will soon collaborate with Final Fantasy XVI in a new crossover event revealed at the game's Fan Festival in London today alongside updates on the Dawntrail expansion. Featuring the protagonist Clive Rosfield seen in The Bowl of Embers where players fought Ifrit, it appears we will be battling the Final Fantasy XVI version of Ifrit in some form. The event, titled "The Path Infernal", is designed to not spoil any story beats of the PlayStation 5-exclusive hack and slash, and will feature a variety of rewards including Clive's outfit and a Torgal mount and minion. The team wants you to think of the event as an introduction to the world of Final Fantasy XVI and it is developed alongside upcoming DLC. No date has been revealed for the collaboration at this time. You can check out the teaser trailer for the collaboration below:

Final Fantasy XIV's limited-time event Moogle Treasure Trove is set to return on August 27th through the launch of Patch 6.5 Growing Light in early October. During this period, completing certain duties will reward you Irregular Tomestones of Tenfold Pageantry, which can be exchanged with the Itinerant Moogle station in each starting city-state. Of particular note: exclusive 10th Anniversary adventurer plate frames, a Fat Cat Parasol, Samurai Chocobo Barding, and the Both Ways hairstyle. Note that tomestones will not be rewarded for duties completed with adventurer squadrons or duty support. If attempted with an unrestricted party composition, the level sync option needs to be applied to qualify. Running concurrently with this event is the return of The Rising seasonal event ringing in 10 years since the launch of A Realm Reborn. "In recent years, demand from collectors and historians has led to a surge of adventurers seeking tomestones, those mysterious relics of the Allagan Empire made to record and keep its secrets. Some small number of the artifacts, unique for the peculiar sort of knowledge contained within, have piqued the interest of the eccentric─in particular, itinerant moogles, who come bearing rare goods of their own to exchange for these "irregular" tomestones."
