Another year has passed, and that means it’s time to celebrate the anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV once again with the annual return of The Rising. This year offers players a fresh set of rewards, naturally; there’s a new wind-up Y’shtola minion available for players sporting her Shadowbringers outfit, along with wall art to commemorate the Stormblood series of major patches. There’s no real in-universe reason for having the art, perhaps, but it sure does look nice.
Players will also face something of a change because the quest for the anniversary event requires level 30; the quest starts in Costa del Sol, thus justifying the slightly higher-than-usual barrier for players. It remains to be seen exactly what this event will entail and if it will tease future content along the way (something of a tradition for the anniversary), but we’ll all find out in just under a week as we celebrate another year of operation in the wake of a delightful expansion.Celebrate 6 years of #FFXIV during our anniversary event, The Rising! 🍾🎇
Starting on August 26, lend aid to P'obyano on the Costa del Sol shores to unravel a special message! https://t.co/ojTbpWmIbi pic.twitter.com/bWb8htVHjv
