Square Enix recently announced a new Meister Quality figure of Final Fantasy 14's Hydaelyn and Zodiark, which is already available for pre-order and comes with a free in-game emote. This set is the latest in a long line of various figures of iconic Final Fantasy characters, which are highly prized by franchise fans and collectors.
After over 10 years and four expansions, Final Fantasy 14 is still going strong, with millions of players enjoying what many consider one of the best MMORPG experiences today. Its last expansion, Endwalker, which released in late 2021, wrapped up the central story arc that had been going since its reboot in 2013. Its next expansion, Dawntrail, set to open up a brand-new chapter in its long-running story, is set to drop in summer 2024.
Square Enix quietly announced the opening of pre-orders for the Hydaelyn and Zodiark figure on its official website. The intricately crafted figure features both gods, known to be locked in an eternal conflict, facing away from each other, and every purchase comes with a code to receive the Ballroom Etiquette, Apocalyptic Charades in-game item that teaches the player character a special emote. The figure will be available to ship by March 2024, but there are no other specific details beyond that.
Hydaelyn and Zodiark are two central figures in the years-long story of Final Fantasy 14, as the gods of light and darkness, respectively. This particular Meister Quality figure commemorates the end of their story in particular, and through its design, evokes the fragile balance between light and dark that the game's universe must maintain. The 2021 expansion Endwalker tied the almost decade-long plot line up neatly with the definitive defeat of the void-worshipping Ascians, FF14's main antagonists up to that point, and as a whole new chapter, Dawntrail looks to change the mood of the game anew.
The new expansion already has a lot of Final Fantasy 14 players excited as well. A recent Dawntrail announcement revealed the Pictomancer, the second new job that will be added to the game, which is customary for each new expansion. The Pictomancer is a ranged DPS class that uses what appears to be paint magic to deal damage, the first since the Dancer was introduced in Shadowbringers. The Viper, a melee DPS class similar to the Ninja, was also revealed prior, and a new Limited Job will be added after launch.
Before Dawntrail arrives in summer 2024, there will be one last update for the game to begin the story's transition into the new expansion. Patch 6.55, titled Growing Light Part 2will launch on January 16 and will focus mainly on wrapping up sidequests before the new chapter begins.
Final Fantasy XIV's original release was less-than-stellar, with many fans
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature an ambiguous ending that will keep players wondering about the third and final part of the trilogy, according to the game's producer.
Calls for a Final Fantasy 6 remake are difficult to respond to, the series’ brand manager has said, because he believes such a project would take roughly twice as long as it has to remake Final Fantasy 7.
The second instalment of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is set to launch soon, but there are, of course, plenty of other fan-favourite instalments in the long-running series that many have been hoping to see remade in similar fashion. Final Fantasy 6 in particular has been heavily demanded by series fans- though according to Yoshinori Kitase – producer on the FF7 Remake trilogy and co-director of the original Final Fantasy 6 – developing a remake series for the SNES classic would be an even more herculean task than developing the FF7 Remake trilogy.
As Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s launch approaches, Square Enix is continuing to ratchet up the hype and anticipation surrounding it, and the publisher has done that through a steady stream of new details, updates, gameplay footage, and more. Recently at Tapei Game Show, plenty more of that also got shown off.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players will get to experience an all-new storyline when they reach the Costa del Sol segment of the game. With the game releasing in about a month, Square Enix has been revealing new information about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to keep fans excited.
Final Fantasy 14 recently added a new furnishing item that hearkens back to the iconic square grapes from Endwalker’s original release. The Labyrinthos Grape Lamppost outdoor furnishing, added in Patch 6.55, lets Final Fantasy 14 players immortalize the meme outside their homes and Island Sanctuary forever.
Final Fantasy 14 is giving all players a free Fantasia during Dawntrail to help them adapt to the new graphics update coming in the expansion. While the exact details are still being worked out, all Final Fantasy 14 fans can expect to get one of these cash shop items for free later this year.
Many people are looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and that’s not a shock at all. When Square Enix released the first entry of the “remake saga” back in 2020, gamers were stunned by how well the publisher had remade the original title despite focusing only on the Midgar storyline for the “first part.” The graphics were stunning, the voice acting was on point, and the updated combat system made it feel like an RPG while also being “upgraded” to fit modern times. However, a few flaws held it back, mainly in the party system.
Final Fantasy 14 Patch 6.55 added the new Asura Trial encounter from FanFest, but to unlock it, players must go through the Hildibrand questline from Endwalker. This Final Fantasy 14 boss battle can be easily missed by those who aren’t caught up with the iconic comical questline, so fans should be sure not to overlook this exciting fight.
When Square Enix announced the “remake saga” for their all-time classic RPG and then noted that the game would be “cut into sections” to ensure quality throughout, gamers were a bit concerned. The game was in “full form” back on the PS1 and obtained legendary status, so why wouldn’t it be “In full” here? Well, their gambit paid off, and the first title featuring the “Midgar Saga” was a hit, not just because of the graphical upgrade but also because of the new elements fleshed out that part of the story. So, with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, gamers are expecting more of the same.
Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu says he wants to diversify the studio's lineup of games by relying less on "strong IPs" like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
For the record, we didn’t plan two stories about items you can get for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to come in back-to-back days. Life decided to have a little fun with us, and we don’t mind. Yesterday, we discussed how Square Enix Reward Program members could get a special glitter globe featuring the Gold Saucer from the upcoming RPG. It was cute and adorable, and we’re sure some of you have already subscribed to the program so you can get it or are cashing in points to ensure you get it. But, if you’re looking for something a bit more “substantial,” then perhaps Amazon is where you go to get the game.
