The FFXV event

I'm hearing recently that the Final Fantasy XV was very detailed and fun with its own instances and story?? I'm a new player and I'm so surprised that this event was somehow limited! It feels like it should've been permanent side content, are there any hints as to if it'll come back??

So far I have not found any information about this. But I doubt that this will happen again and you will have to spend money for the car and the clothes at the shop. There was also the FFXIII event. You can find the clothes now only in the shop

The FFXIII event came back like 3 times before it even went on the shop, I believe they said (in a Live Letter maybe?) they want to bring back the XV event but they're not sure yet when.

The special events are in rotation. We even got the DQ event back recently. We can assume that both Shantotto's and FFXV's event will eventually return.

I'm not sure about Shantotto. I've seen a few events cycle through twice now but I haven't seen that once... and isn't that where the minion came from? It's now for sale which makes it less likely to reappear.

FFXV though, it definitely sounds like it'll be running again.

They did say during one of the Live Letters earlier this year that they intend bring back the FFXV crossover, possibly in 5.4, but they need to find a good place for it among all the other seasonal events.

YoshiP also said they are trying to not go overboard with special promos right now with coronavirus, so they'll definitely wait until the Yokai Watch event is over at the least.

I missed it the first time around, definitely want to check it out.

Also give us Ardyn's hair and clothes. C'mon, SE, show some love for the baddies now....

I hope they're being sincere and they bring it back sometime next year. Still kicking myself for not getting the car mount! :(

The event ran twice (I remember this being a new player when it ran the first time and not being high enough level to actually complete the event the first go around, and had to wait till the rerun to finish the event)

XV might come back around again... but also it wasn't THAT long ago that it ran the first time, and considering many events have two or three years between runs, I wouldn't expect it to happen any time soon if at all. It's possible that it just gets relegated to the cash shop.

As to the original question... the quests weren't really all that amazing. Pretty standard fare for limited time events. Though I also will admit that I wasn't terribly invested since I don't care for XV as much as some others do.

There were a number of problems with FFXV but I really enjoyed the idea of a road trip / camping thing, the quiet moment where you gather your group, chat, cook, and stuff.. it was neat. Reminded me a bit of what my brain played out back in the older FF games where you used a tent to get some stats back, or pay for an inn room, felt really 'classic' FF, and added a lot to the journey vibe. Sometimes a little bummed the campfires in this game don't do something just to mentally promote the idea you might sit around one for a bit (get a buff, restore stats more quickly, something). I liked that the FFXIV quest for FFXV cross-over had a few quiet moments akin to that, also all the FFXV music was a bit surprising lol. Like.. a lot compared to what they normally do. I kind of hope when they bring back the event they add a few more music pieces :3. . . .

While ideally the event just reoccurs forever on some big time table (like once a year), if they do put it into the cash shop I really hope they find a way to let players purchase the whole experience as a dlc bundle. The quests being banished to the aether is a little bit unfortunate. I find the seasonal would feel quite a bit better too if you could just purchase that season's event (can still buy items singularly but a seasonal bundle would be available to get it all as a package, and perhaps go on sale during that season's time frame). Something like one of each item, the quest chain, and the achievement. If they wanted to promote the bundle concept further while also seeming a bit 'customer friendly' (er) then they might have it where each year you get a special token when completing a seasonal event (achievement) that allows you to purchase 1 old seasonal item from all the seasons you've achievements earned from (whether purchased or present by playing it).

The FFXIII event ran three separate times.

Once in 2013, and twice in 2014 (the second was part of the one year anniversary event that re-released multiple seasonal events). The items got added to Mogstation a year after the 3rd run.

As for when we get a re-run of FFXV, it's completely random. The event repeat timings don't follow any real logic in this game. It's really not possible to judge when. The only thing is that maybe COVID has put pressure on release timings, and if an event is needed to fill some gap later on in early 2021, we could see the FFXV event come back for that purpose.

Right... though we saw posts insisting it needed to be rerun within months of it being concluded. And unless there's some reason to bring an event around again quickly, like the two XIII sequels, they don't usually bring anything back quickly. As for using existing events to fill COVID gaps, they did this with the XI crossover events already, and unless there's another spike in Japan that delays development times again, we're not likely going to see another COVID related delay to run the event in 2021. So basically at this point, they run it when they run it... or they just add it to the cash shop since the 4-seater mount and outfit would be a major cash generator.

As far as I can discern, with FFXV no longer being worked on and Episode Ardyn being the last major content released, a repeat of the FFXV event is not likely. But then again, I didn't think they'd redo the FFXI event with Iroha, so I wouldn't write it off completely.

It was a pretty fun event, too. The fight against Garuda was kinda a pain, but the quest, itself, was a treat, especially for those who played FFXV. The four-person mount of the Regalia was a cool reward, too.

Need anniversary event where we Fight Yoshi.p, when you get him to 5% he trolls the raid. Stuns everyone heals to 100% and says "See you at the next live letter, Look forward to it." The fight ends with him disappearing and you walking away the victor. :D

Nah I'd say it should be an event where we fight Tanaka, and he's really hard until Yoshi-p comes in and helps us slaughter him.

If we see it again it will probably be this time next year, for its fifth anniversary. I wouldn't mind seeing it sooner though, heh

They already said they were looking to bring it back soon, I'm assuming between 5.4 and 5.5 during "the drought".

Repeat events don't tend to get new prizes - I think Yo-kai is an exception because it's weapon-focused.

It's just the same thing running again for the people who missed it last time.

I know they wanted to try to bring it back but they said they might have trouble fitting it in. Since then they’ve added Noctic TTC to the gold saucer vendor and that was a reward from the event. So who knows really.

The thing is, the moogle event drags us back into ARR dungeons and the Ivalice raids, the FFXV event wouldn't, and the dev team's priority right now is making sure that everyone is doing ARR stuff all the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if they they run it back during the lull between the release of patch 5.56 and the launch of the expansion to keep people occupied, which was the same instance the event was launched before Shadowbringers the first time.

Rerunning of events, typically, takes many, many years for them to come back around. The FFXI events took even longer to be rerun, and even then mostly those were only added back because of the drought of content due to the onset of COVID, and some of them from all the way back in ARR have never been rerun. I get it that this event is one people want to see again, but I wouldn't hold my breath that it will return any time soon.

Maybe they will bring it back when they release the PS5 upgrade for XV. We can hope lol.

Wait is that on the horizon?

Now that you mentioned, I'd love a FF7-R collab... There are a lot of non-Cloud outfits that are cool as heck: Barret, Tifa, Aerith... Even the Turks.

I honestly was kind of shocked there was not a Colab for FF7R around its release It would have been the perfect time and its not like they did have many years to plan for it.

I thought about it too, but honestly it will make more sense when they port 7R to PC... If I'm not mistaken, it was around that when they released XV's too, right?

No confirmation of a PC release despite it being about as big of a gap between FFXV console and FFXV PC. Instead we just get news about Episode Yuffie, a BR, and a gotcha game.

They said that they were was never a good time to work together to get a collab for FF7R during the lead up, but have said they are keen on doing one later on, perhaps for the release of the next part.
