Final Fantasy XIV is launching a collaboration event with FFXVI soon, with new content and rewards on offer. Here’s what we know so far.

FFXIV Final Fantasy XVI event release window

Thanks to the recent Panel at PAX East 2024, we know that the FFXVI event will be arriving at FFXIV on April 2nd, 2024.

The event will run for about one month, ending on May 8th, 2024. This should give players enough time to hop in, do the story quests, and grind out the MGP required for some of the rewards.

The FFXVI event will see FFXVI protagonist Clive Rosfield enter the land of Eorzea. According to the trailer, it seems like the Warrior of Light and Clive will be taking on FFXVI’s version of Ifrit in a solo instance.

Of course, there’ll be a story to accompany the event, but what that exactly entails is still up in the air for now.

FFXIV Final Fantasy XVI event rewards

Thanks to recent data mines, we have an early idea of what rewards are waiting in store for the crossover event.

The recent 6.58 patch brought in a bunch of items including a mount and minion resembling the best boy Torgal, and an outfit similar to Clive’s.

Alongside these rewards, Orchestrion Rolls and Hairstyles will be available to purchase for MGP at the Golden Saucer. Each Orchestrion Roll will cost 20,000 MGP, with the hairstyle costing 200,000, meaning players will need 400,000 MGP in total to reap all the rewards.
