Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn celebrates its 1st anniversary with new events

Full details on all the celebrations direct from the Square Enix team

Hello everyone, it’s been a while! We’ve been insanely busy at Gamescom (if you were there, I was one of the moderators on the battle challenges), and managed to hand out a few thousand “I beat Leviathan/Gilgamesh/Ramuh” T-Shirts to new and old players alike. It was tons of fun! And the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival is already on the horizon as well… No rest for the wicked!

We also have the brand new Recruit a Friend program, which lets you grab awesome rewards, which will make the journey through Eorzea much more interesting for both of you. Be sure to check them out!

But let’s get back to the point of this article. As Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is celebrating its First Anniversary, and the Aether has been behaving in worrying ways. Cracks in the very fabric of the world have shown themselves, with some very peculiar results. Word has reached the Adventurer’s Guilds that strange beings, so far relatively unknown to the citizens of Eorzea, have appeared in parts of the world. This needs to be investigated by cannonfod… I mean, mighty adventurers – just like you, as it so happens!

Like a flash in the night – Lightning Returns! LITERALLY!

The dazzling heroine returns to Eorzea once more, and with her she brings several evildoers from her own world, which you have the honor to banish again. By defeating them, again and again. The best and most proven way to banish evildoers, really!

By doing so, you can win some of the legendary weaponry and stylish fashion of the FFXIII heroes for your very own character in FFXIV. Be it the Bohemian’s Coat from Snow Villiers, or maybe the l’Cie Bardiche – even the iconic hairdos are ripe for your picking! No need to scalp anyone though, you’ll be able to get it more pain-free through the quests.

This event is active from the 1st to the 10th of September 2014!

With fists of stone! The Golem Brothers – A Miner’s Dream?

Stories about a strange thing have reached the miner’s guild of Ul’dah. Experts in all matters stone and ore, they’ve heard about something rather strange – living, walking beings of stone.

While they usually try to stay away from the fight, this got the pickaxe-swinger’s blood boiling. Just imagine what rare and precious ores you may be able to extract from them! Maybe a giant Mammet Heart is driving them…?

While hundreds of miners with Gil in their eyes suddenly set out to hunt those abnormalities, as an adventurer, you get the weird feeling that actually defeating them will be your job. Again. Let’s hope at least the pay is right…

This event is active from the 14th to the 23rd of September 2014!
