The Final Fantasy 16 (FF16) collaboration event is returning to Final Fantasy XIV in November 2026, giving players another opportunity to experience the crossover questline and collect its exclusive rewards. Originally introduced in 2024, this collaboration brought characters, equipment, music, and other elements from Final Fantasy 16 into FFXIV. Players who missed the original event can now participate, while those who have already completed it can revisit the story through the Seasonal Event Replay feature. Here is everything you need to know about the FFXIV FF16 crossover event, including its schedule, participation requirements, quest progression, and available rewards.
The Final Fantasy 16 collaboration event will run from November 18 to December 9, 2026. Players who missed the original 2024 event will have another chance to complete its quests and obtain the associated rewards during this limited-time period.
To participate in the FFXIV FF16 crossover event, players must meet the following requirements:
Limited jobs are excluded from the event's level requirement. The starting quest, "A Land on FireStarting quest for the collaborationQuest giver: Neophyte AdventurerUl’dah - Steps of Nald, X: 8.8, Y: 9.8," can be accepted from the Neophyte Adventurer in Ul’dah - Steps of NaldStarting quest locationNear the main Aetheryte PlazaX: 8.8, Y: 9.8, near the main Aetheryte Plaza at X: 8.8, Y: 9.8. The event is also available to Free Trial players, as long as they meet the level and main scenario requirements.
Tip: Players who have not reached Level 50 yet should have enough time to complete the necessary content before the event ends. Although optional level boosts and story skips are available, new players may prefer to experience A Realm Reborn naturally rather than skipping its story.
One convenient feature of this rerun is that players who participated in the original 2024 event do not necessarily have to start over. If you made progress during the previous event, you can continue from where you left off. Check your Journal to review your progress through the following quests:
These quests follow one another in sequence. If you previously completed only part of the event, you can pick up the remaining quests when the collaboration returns.
Players who already completed the entire collaboration can also revisit its story. Speak to the Neophyte Adventurer and use the Seasonal Event Replay feature to replay the questline.
Watch out: Replaying the event does not grant additional rewards. It is intended for players who want to experience the story again rather than collect another set of event items.
The collaboration offers several rewards inspired by Final Fantasy 16, including a glamour set, a mount, a minion, a Triple Triad card, and orchestrion rolls. Although the event is returning in 2026, no new rewards have been announced. The available items remain the same as those from the original collaboration.
One of the main rewards is the four-piece Metian glamour set, inspired by Clive Rosfield's appearance in Final Fantasy 16. The set includes Metian VestPart of the four-piece Metian glamour setCan be used separately in glamour combinations, Metian GauntletsPart of the four-piece Metian glamour setCan be used separately in glamour combinations, Metian ChaussesPart of the four-piece Metian glamour setCan be used separately in glamour combinations and Metian SolleretsPart of the four-piece Metian glamour setCan be used separately in glamour combinations. The equipment can be used by characters regardless of gender.
There are minor visual differences in how the clothing fits and hangs depending on the character model. One advantage of this reward is that the four pieces can be used separately, giving players more flexibility when creating glamour combinations. The chest piece is particularly distinctive, featuring a recognizable collar design.
Torgal is another highlight of the collaboration. Players can obtain both the Torgal mount and the Torgal minion, bringing Clive's loyal companion into FFXIV. The mount also features a special interaction.
After mounting Torgal, players can use the mount action to trigger an animation in which the character pets him. The Torgal minion represents his younger appearance as a puppy in Final Fantasy 16. For fans of the original game, this is a particularly enjoyable collectible.
The collaboration also includes the Clive Rosfield Triple Triad Card. This is a welcome reward for Triple Triad collectors and players who missed the opportunity to obtain the card during the original event.
Players can also collect several orchestrion rolls featuring music from Final Fantasy 16. These tracks bring some of the memorable music from Final Fantasy 16 into FFXIV, making them worthwhile additions for players who enjoy collecting orchestrion rolls. The available tracks include:
Unfortunately, the 2026 rerun does not introduce any new rewards. The original glamour set, Torgal mount, Torgal minion, Clive Rosfield card, and orchestrion rolls are returning, but there are no additional collectible items announced for this iteration.
Some players may have hoped for a new Adventurer Plate design, portrait, or other cosmetic items inspired by Final Fantasy 16. Previous returning collaborations, including the Yo-kai Watch event, have introduced additional collectibles in later iterations. However, the FF16 collaboration does not appear to follow that approach this time. For returning players who already own everything, the main reason to participate again is the opportunity to replay the storyline rather than obtain new items.
The return of the FFXIV Final Fantasy 16 crossover event is good news for players who missed its original run in 2024. From November 18 to December 9, 2026, eligible players can once again experience the collaboration questline and obtain its rewards.
Before the event begins, make sure your character has reached Level 50 and completed the A Realm Reborn main scenario questline. If you previously started the event, your quest progress will carry over, so you can continue where you left off. Even without new rewards, this rerun is a great opportunity for newcomers and returning players to experience one of FFXIV's memorable crossover collaborations.
The event runs from Wednesday, November 18, to Wednesday, December 9, 2026.
You must reach Level 50 with a regular job and complete the A Realm Reborn main scenario questline through The Ultimate Weapon. Limited jobs are excluded from the level requirement. Free Trial players can participate if they meet these requirements.
Accept A Land on Fire from the Neophyte Adventurer in Ul’dah - Steps of Nald, near the main Aetheryte Plaza at X: 8.8, Y: 9.8. The quest sequence is A Land on Fire, Pain to Recall, and The Path Infernal.
If you made progress during the previous event, you can continue from where you left off. If you already completed the collaboration, speak to the Neophyte Adventurer to use Seasonal Event Replay. Replaying does not grant additional rewards.
The rewards include the four-piece Metian glamour set, the Torgal mount and minion, the Clive Rosfield Triple Triad Card, and Final Fantasy 16 orchestrion rolls. The glamour pieces can be used separately, and the Torgal mount has a petting animation triggered by its mount action.
No new rewards have been announced for this rerun. The rewards remain the same as those from the original collaboration.
