There has never been a Hatching-tide event in
Final Fantasy XIV that has not been at least a little weird. This year, however, it’s going to be a very sober and sedate affair that, completely by coincidence, awards players with
a flying mount in the shape of a huge floating egg. It’s the sort of mount that will mesh really well with
Stormblood and its emphasis on revolution, that’s for sure.
The event starts on Tuesday, April 4th, and runs until Monday, April 17th. That should be plenty of time for players to pick up both a flying egg mount and the latest set of Hatching-tide wallpaper for those interested. Because, really, isn’t this what the game has always needed? Egg mounts.
