FF14 and FF15 Collaboration Event Details
The collaboration debuted back in 2019 and again in 2021. Final Fantasy XIV fans once again have the opportunity to fight alongside Noctis from Final Fantasy XV through three quests, ending in a battle against Garuda. It’s worth doing for the Noctis interactions, but the highlight is the Regalia Type-G mount.
Event Duration
