Final Fantasy XIV adds new carbuncle options while preparing for a dogged year

It’s time for the annual celebration of the new year in Final Fantasy XIV, and this year has a theme like every other. And the theme? Doge. Yes, there are new kabuto available with dogs, and new housing decorations also designed to look like a cute shiba inu. Such event, many rewards. Wow.

Not into the whole annual event thing? Perhaps you’d like to just pick up some new Carbuncle-themed gear and mounts. Yes, your summoner can now bring out a Carbuncle big enough to ride, and dress up in Carbuncle-themed robes. There’s also an ongoing sale through January 29th on several dyes and retainer level boosts, so you can pick those up on the cheap.

Last but not least, the site has begun to remind players that new tomestones are coming into the game, which means changes to existing stones and the need to exchange some. In particular, Lore and Scripture tomestones are being removed from the game, so if you still have a few left that you haven’t yet exchanged, you should probably do that now.
