‘Final Fantasy 15’ collaboration event with ‘Final Fantasy 14’ returns next week

You get a car! And you get a car! And even you get a car!

A couple of years back, Final Fantasy 14 did a limited-time crossover event with Final Fantasy 15, and it’s coming back soon. A Nocturne for Heroes, as it’s so appropriately named, will be available once again from Sept. 13 through Oct. 18.

If you’re not familiar with Final Fantasy, you might be wondering why A Nocturne for Heroes is considered a crossover event and not a follow-up to both games. Well, every entry in the series deals with an entirely different storyline and world. Not to mention Final Fantasy 15 is a single-player RPG, while Final Fantasy 14 is a massively multiplayer online RPG. 

So, A Nocturne for Heroes lets Final Fantasy 14 players partake in a short questline to earn all sorts of in-game clothing and magical items from Final Fantasy 15. Including the Regalia, a ridiculous-looking car that you can drive around after completing the event. 

Check out the original A Nocturne for Heroes event trailer for yourself below.

Limited-time events are common in Final Fantasy 14, and they often come with unique rewards that are easy to miss out on if you’re only just getting into the game. Since Final Fantasy 15 is popular, developer Square Enix chose to bring A Nocturne for Heroes back for anyone who missed it the first time.

Final Fantasy might be the only series that can have a crossover with itself.

‘Final Fantasy 14’ — what is it, and why has it suddenly become so huge?

What’s all the fuss about Final Fantasy 14?

Welcome to FTW Explains: a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. Here’s a special edition concerning Final Fantasy 14, which will hopefully answer any questions you might have about the game.

If you orbit the world of video games, you may have heard people talking about Final Fantasy lately. Square Enix’s role-playing series has been one of the most popular video game franchises since its inception in 1987, but Final Fantasy 14, in particular, has seen a massive uptick in interest in recent months, with scores of players signing up to join its sprawling, always-online world.

If you’re curious about why there’s been a surge in popularity, here’s everything you need to know about the wildly popular Final Fantasy MMORPG.

The open beta for ‘New World’ starts September 9

New World’s open beta is coming on September 9 for anyone eager to try out the exploration-based MMORPG that’s stealing World of Warcraft‘s thunder. 

Hopping into New World’s beta is as easy as requesting access on its Steam page once it’s available, which Amazon Game Studios said should be ready by September 8. Again, this is a stress test of sorts, so even if you get in, there’s a good chance its servers will capsize like the old Viking Gokstad ships that are all over the game. 

Coinciding with the open beta announcement is a new trailer for New World, which you can watch below.

Amazon Games Studios have stated that participating in the open beta for New World won’t require purchasing the game itself. So if you’re even slightly interested, it might be worth giving it a go. During the closed beta, New World hit 200,000 concurrent players. A staggering feat for a brand-new MMORPG, so it’s clear that the hype is real.
