Final Fantasy 14’s FF16 crossover, with a Torgal mount and minion up for grabs, kicks off tomorrow
Final Fantasy 14’s crossover with Final Fantasy 16, as teased last year, arrives tomorrow. The crossover between the MMO and latest single-player entry in the RPG series has the usual selection of goodies up for grabs, including a very cute minion, a not-so-cute (but still kind of cute) mount, some Clive-cleavage armour and more.
Uh oh, it looks like Final Fantasy 14 players are getting banned just for advertising their guild on Xbox
Final Fantasy 14 is finally on Xbox, except it seems like some players are being banned for a bit of a strange reason.
Like many MMOs, Final Fantasy 14 has a guild system, called Free Companies, which are essentially groups run by players where you can pool resources that allow you to complete tasks otherwise difficult to pull off by yourself. Players will regularly try to recruit others to join their Free Company, because of course you want as many people as you can all working towards common goals. Except, it seems like some players are getting banned for advertising their Free Companies on Xbox, and no one is entirely sure why.
As spotted by TheGamer, a user on the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit shared that they had been banned looking for help. "I am an Xbox player here and I have just gotten banned by Xbox because they believe that 'Free Company' is solicitation in their looking for group posts," wrote TGB_B20kEn, the user in question. "I filed an appeal and that got denied and have no idea what else to do.. All I have done is used the correct name." Another user further down the thread noted that a friend of theirs had also been banned for listing their recruitment code, resulting in a two day ban.
FF14 Dawntrail is already so popular pre-orders stopped working
Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail pre-orders have gone live to absolute chaos due to the upcoming expansion's popularity, with players reporting issues across Square Enix's online store and the MMORPGs socials inundated with talk of delays to pre-order bonuses, Steam key issues, and more. The dust appears to have settled for now, but if Endwalker's launch problems were any indication, Dawntrail is going to be massive.
