Will Square Ever Re-Run A Collaboration?

[CrystalPenguin]

I would definitely like Square to rerelease the collaborations for the new players. Like have the old version while adding new content
Say if they did XIII\\'s crossover again. They can have everything that they had in the past be up while also adding new collaboration story parts (Like Lightnings XIII-2 and XIII-3 main look) or add new looks from other characters in the FFXIII Trilogy
They could bring back X\\'s event while adding X-2 looks. Like have Yuna\\'s Gunner or Songstress look. Also they could add Riku\\'s X look
I\\'m what you call a new player. I\\'ve only been playing this game for a couple of months, but I wish that Square could do something like this
I\\'ve seen people with outfits from 7 and 15. Square could do the same thing. Just add a little more story and more items. So is Square never gonna re run the collaborations? It would be really nice if they would. I know that this is probably out of my control, but I like to hear if anyone wants the collaborations to come back, old and new players. Anyone is welcome to discuss.
(How I know about said collaborations is because of hearing about the XIII crossover whenever Lightning Returns came out. Then years later when I started playing, is that they\\'ve had other Final Fantasy collaborations.)

We're getting the XV collab again later this year, the Yokai collab was run twice, so was the Dragonquest one. Even the FFXI one was run twice... so yes.


And for further clarification they added new weapons onto the Yokai one so adding more on the 2nd run has precedent too. There is hope.

Sadly FFX never had an actual crossover event in FFXIV, the FFX outfits were simply offered as a bonus for a past Fanfest (by purchasing tickets for the event, as I understand it those who didn't attend could still get the outfit by purchasing Livestream access of the event instead) - Cloud's Fenrir motorcycle mount from FFVII Advent Children was a similar past Fanfest bonus, however Cloud's FFVIIAC outfit was formerly a Veteran Reward which simply required enough subscription time to be purchased, but that can now be gained through redeeming Achievement Points with the npc in Gridania).

The only FF games to have had crossover events as actual special events in FFXIV were FFXI (two seperate events at different times), FFXIII, and FFXV. Other games have had glamour gear and other items offered in various ways, but they never had crossover special events run for them.

As Krotoan mentioned, the FFXV event will be returning so just have patience.

Ohh cool. Where did you hear that XV was being re runned this year? I'm just asking.

Alright, that explains with the looks and outfits. So everything isn't collaborations and such. Sorry about that.
I just don't want to spend a lot for the looks then suddenly Square Re-Runs them. I don't know if it's worth the risk or just wait. Thank you for clarifying

No harm at all in asking, it was an official announcement during their livestream and on their twitter:

so you can be sure it's happening =]

Oh they often do rerun them (the FFXI events were run multiple times throughout the years), but there is no pattern to it, they just simply decide "now is a good time to bring that back" and do it. Given the next expansion's launch is greatly delayed due to the pandemic and there is a long lull in content accordingly, we're going to be seeing a number of the old crossover events return (gear from past events that has ended up on the Mogstation for sale is a pretty good indicator that event is not coming back sadly).

But if they are gonna re-run the FFXV collaborations. I thought I saw the Regalia (The car) on the Mog Station. Since XV is gonna have a re run, what is it doing on the Mog Store? (Again if I remembering this correctly)

[Enkidoh]

Unfortunately the Regalia is not for sale on the Mogstation, I just checked '4 person mounts' there (which the Regalia is) and the only 4 person mount offered for sale is the Chocobo Carriage (SE did recently add the Lunar Whale airship from FFIV as the first 8 person mount to the Mogstation for sale however, which may be what you saw). There is also Cloud's Fenrir motorcycle from FFVIIAC for sale there as I mentioned previously which is sleek and black like the Regalia so that could be mistaken for the car at a glance.

So rest easy knowing that the Regalia is coming back in the rerun of the FFXV event soon, you're not in danger of wasting money so don't worry! (The first time the FFXV event was run, the Regalia costed a whopping 500000 MGP from a special vendor at Gold Saucer once you completed the FFXV event, so I recommend you start saving your MGP if you haven't already!)
