Because we have confirmed the existence of players who are engaging in these illicit activities, we have taken the actions listed below.

Time Period: Oct. 22, 2026 to Oct. 28, 2026

・Participation in RMT/prohibited activities

Players who discover any confirmed cheats should, under no circumstances, exploit or disseminate such information. Instead, we ask that players file a report by using the in-game command [System Menu] -> [Support Desk] -> [Contact Us] -> [Report Cheating].

In addition, any witnessed RMT advertisement can be reported by right clicking the character name in the chat log and selecting the menu [Report] -> [Report RMT Activity].
The report will be processed automatically, and if determined to fall under RMT advertising, the reported character's comments will be restricted.

Regarding the response to a critical vulnerability in the PHP programming language, we were forced to unexpectedly suspend new logins for approximately one day from Oct. 21 to Oct. 22, 2026. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Although this was an urgent security measure, in consideration of the fact that we were unable to provide advance notice and that the suspension lasted for an extended period, we would like to grant one day of game time to the following customers.

Eligible Accounts: FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts that meet the following conditions:
・The full version of FINAL FANTASY XIV has been registered to the service account.
・The service account had an active subscription as of Oct. 21, 2026 or Oct. 22, 2026 (PDT) / (GMT) / (AEDT).

Grant Period: One day of game time
・For accounts with recurring subscription payments, the subscription end date at the time the game time is granted will be extended by one day. 　
* Paid optional services, such as additional retainer subscriptions, will also be extended by one day.
・For accounts without recurring subscription payments, one day of game time will be added.

Grant Timing: To be granted sequentially from Oct. 28, 2026 12:00 a.m. (PDT) 7:00 (GMT) / 18:00 (AEDT)
・Due to the large number of eligible service accounts, the process is expected to take two to three days to complete.

*The above compensation applies to services in the global version. Because the impact on logins and applicable laws vary by region, the availability of compensation and the number of days granted for the emergency response to the vulnerability in the PHP programming language will differ depending on the operating region.

We sincerely apologize for this emergency response, but we have temporarily taken the patch servers offline to ensure security.

As this issue may have prevented some players from completing the Week 6 Weekly Objectives and Minimog Challenges, we considered possible measures such as extending the event period by one week. However, this event is structured so that the progression of each week is linked starting with Week 1, making it difficult to extend Week 6 alone or add a new Week 7.

Therefore, we plan to provide compensation by some means at a later date. Further details regarding the method and timing of the compensation will be announced once they have been determined.

Since the early implementation of Same-region Player Matching, we have received multiple reports from players on the Japanese data centers regarding issues such as errors occurring when registering a Party Finder listing and delays when displaying the Friend List or Adventurer Plates.

Upon investigating these issues, we confirmed that although we had significantly enhanced the performance of Cross-world functionality in preparation for the advance implementation of Same-region Player Matching, some safeguards related to server processing limits were still using processes from before those performance enhancements were made.

As a result, the system was unable to deliver the level of performance intended to support Same-region Player Matching, causing errors and display delays with certain Cross-world features.

■ Issue Causing Errors When Registering Party Finder Listings

We confirmed that this issue could be addressed without performing maintenance, and the necessary measures have already been implemented. After monitoring conditions during today's peak hours, we have confirmed that the system is performing as intended without issue.

■ Other Issues

We have confirmed that when using Cross-world features to display information about, invite, or send a Tell to a character on another World, the process of checking that character's latest online status takes longer than expected if the target character is offline.

Delays are primarily occurring when performing the following actions:

- Retrieving the online status of a character on another World via the Friend List
- Displaying the Adventurer Plate of a character on another World
- Sending a Tell to a character on another World
- Inviting a character on another World to a Cross-world Linkshell and similar actions
*The above applies when the target character is offline at the time the action is performed.

Since maintenance is required to address this issue, we will be conducting a brief maintenance tomorrow limited to Cross-world functions.

For details regarding the maintenance, please refer to "Japan Data Center Cross-World Functions Emergency Maintenance (Oct. 14)."

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding. ]]> General NOC_NA https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/532274-Cross-world-Feature-Issues-after-Early-Same-region-Matching-Rollout-on-JPDC-%28Oct.-14%29 https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/532256-FINAL-FANTASY-XIV-Materials-Usage-Guidelines-Revised?goto=newpost Wed, 14 Oct 2026 08:21:13 GMT A revision has been made to the FINAL FANTASY XIV Materials Usage Guidelines to include "FINAL FANTASY XIV Piano Collections - Till Dawn My Tears Flow" and "Pulse: FINAL FANTASY XIV Remix Album Vol. 3", (released October 14, 2026) as material that may be utilized.
