Lightning strikes in Eorzea!
Adventurers of Eorzea! Tomorrow marks the start of a cross-over collaboration event between Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. From tomorrow morning (08:00 GMT), you can jump into FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and take part in quests featuring the renowned heroine.
I’ve pulled together a short summary of the event, which is conveniently listed below for you. But if you’re a stickler for details, head on over to The Lodestone for a full spectrum of data on this special event!
Event Date and Times
The story arc for the event is comprised of multiple quests that start from Thursday November 14, 2013 at 08:00 GMT and finish on Monday December 9, 2013 at 14:59 GMT.
All Chapters start at 08:00 GMT and each chapter will remain available as new chapters are unlocked until the event closes on December 9.
Event Rewards
That’s not all, there're event rewards up for grabs that include unique Final Fantasy XIII character gear, such as Lightning and Snow’s complete outfit, and a range of familiar weaponry from the saga.
Don’t worry if you miss out on these exquisite goodies, the event is scheduled to return, just like Lightning, on February 14, 2014 to celebrate the release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
And don’t forget, as part of this cross-over collaboration, in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, players can complete a special quest to obtain the Miqo’te outfit for Lightning. This outfit is inspired by the Miqo’te race from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, complete with the distinctive ears and tail. Customisable weapons and shields with designs influenced by the three main cities located in the world of Eorzea, are also available in the game.
