I got the Final Fantasy XV car in Final Fantasy XIV and now I can die happy - SociallyKeeda

So over the final yr or so I've been getting a bit of too into Final Fantasy XIV. The world pandemic that despatched us all again into our properties was the excellent setting to essentially get absorbed into an MMO, as I've written about once more and once more.

However, whereas I did purchase Final Fantasy XIV years and years in the past, it wasn't till just lately that I actually began taking part in it often, and so there are a ton of seasonal occasions that I sort of simply misplaced out on. One of these occasions was the Final Fantasy XV crossover. But it is lastly again, and I got all the enjoyable little extras. My life is full.

Missed the boat (or car, no matter)

Even although Final Fantasy XV got here out all the method again in 2016, it did not get a crossover occasion in Final Fantasy XIV till April 16, 2019, a bit earlier than the Shadowbringers growth launched. But though that is comparatively latest, it is nonetheless too early for me, as a result of I did not bounce on the FFXIV bandwagon till June 2020.

But that did not cease me from being tremendous jealous of individuals I'd seen in sport with the Regalia – the car that Noctis and his stunning boy companions use to highway journey in Final Fantasy XV – and always asking folks the place they got it. That is till considered one of the gamers in my free firm (principally a guild or a clan) informed me the place he got it – a particular occasion.

So, for some time I simply sort of gave up on it, realizing that it was this restricted time factor and that I would by no means get a flowery flying car to take round Eorzea. But then I heard it was coming again.

Return of the occasion

During the Live Letter the place Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida detailed what was coming to patch 5.55 in May 2021, the particular occasions for the the rest of the yr had been revealed, and amongst them was, you guessed it, the Final Fantasy XIV | Final Fantasy XV crossover. So, I principally pestered all of my associates to inform me how precisely to get the car and all the goodies so I was prepared when the occasion lastly got here again.

Turns out that in order to get the car, you'd should spend 200,000 MGP, which is a forex you earn by taking part in enjoyable little minigames in the Gold Saucer. So, principally, I've spent the final 4 months farming in-game lottery playing cards and carnival video games and fortunately I earned one thing like 800,000 MGP by the time the occasion began.

I wasn't too involved with the precise content material of the occasion, although. I simply needed the fancy car, every little thing else was secondary. But fortunately, in order to really get the car, I needed to, you realize, play by way of the occasion.

And it was a blast

Final Fantasy XV had sort of a blended reception: a whole lot of followers hated it. In truth, I assume out of all the Final Fantasy followers I know, I'm considered one of the solely ones that really sort of liked it. It should not be too shocking, then, that I was enthralled by the questline of this little occasion, even when it was a particularly fundamental story.

Basically Noctis finds himself in Eorzea and you must assist him get again and work out what got him there in the first place. I'm not going to spoil something, even when it does not imply something to the wider Final Fantasy XIV story, but it surely was a enjoyable little trip round the world with a Final Fantasy character I actually favored.

There was a FATE (world occasion) and an obligation, each of which had been extraordinarily enjoyable – particularly the latter. In it you combat a boss with some actually enjoyable mechanics that borrow from FFXV. And, truthfully I simply had a blast seeing my character interacting with Noctis in-game. I additionally obnoxiously took a billion screenshots and shared them with associates.

I guess you would say that I'm only a hopeless fan of Final Fantasy, however that is sort of what makes Final Fantasy XIV so particular. While I liked this crossover a lot, it is from the solely time that I've been blown away by references to previous video games – massive and small – in my time with the sport.

So I guess what I'm saying is that for those who're a fan of the franchise and you have not tried the on-line sport but: do you know Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial as much as degree 60 that features the award-successful growth Heavensward?
