FINAL FANTASY XIV / FINAL FANTASY XI Collaboration Event! (11/11/2015)

FINAL FANTASY XIV, is a game in which adventurers from around the world band together in one grand adventure spanning the fantastic expanse of Eorzea. We are very excited to announce this special collaboration event with the team behind the latest entry in the FINAL FANTASY series.

As part of this collaboration event, Iroha, the central character of Rhapsodies of Vana'diel, will take her first steps into the strange new world of Eorzea. Iroha soon finds herself embroiled in a series of FATEs, special battle events that rage across Eorzea's far-flung realms, and players will be able to battle alongside her for a limited time. The adventurers who emerge victorious from her accompanying quest will be rewarded with the same distinctive set of Amatsu armor as that worn by Iroha herself. A new world awaits! We hope to see you in Eorzea for this special limited-time event!
