The event has been celebrated every year since 2014, reminding players of how the game was reborn from its ashes on August 27, 2013.

It’s an emotional moment for many players and the development team usually plays with our heartstring with the story included in the dedicated questline. Especially those who have been around since the very beginning in 2010 should likely prepare to shed a tear or 10.

The event will be available from August 27 (which is the anniversary of A Realm Reborn’s Release, one day after the end of the Moonfire Faire) until September 9.

To start the questline you need to talk with Kipih Jakkya in Ul’dah’s Steps of Nald district and you need to be at least level 15.

This year’s prizes include a Red Moon parasol and a Nymeia Potpurry firework, which you can see below.

Incidentally, the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion Endwalker will release on November 23, 2021, for PS5, PS4, and PC. A benchmark has been released for PC, including the male viera character creation.

If you want to see more about it, you can check out the reveal of the extended trailer and the reaper job, and that of the male viera, locations, and release date.

You can also take a look at plenty of official screenshots and art, the original announcementtons of initial details, and the first official screenshots and art.

If you’re unfamiliar with Final Fantasy XIV, it’s currently available for PlayStation 4, PS5, and PC. The upgrade to PS5 is offered free of charge to those who own the PS4 version.

You can also read our latest interview with producer and director Naoki Yoshida, another with composer Masayoshi Soken, and our review of Shadowbringers.

We recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the advent of Yoshida-san as director and producer.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
