FFXIV is going to start testing cloud data centers with a stress test this month, likely a result of the upcoming Dawntrail release in 2024. Any subscribers that have bought the game can participate in the cloud tests, but note that the character SE gives you will be deleted, and there's no reward for playing on there either.

The FFXIV Callback Campaign is here to reward those of us still playing the game and our friends who might have stepped away to play one of the many games that came out this summer. Having recently just started getting into Final Fantasy 14 myself, the rewards for both returning players and the friends that invite them are really great, and now I just wish I'd started playing earlier so I could redeem some of them.

The FFXIV Fall Guys event is here, and it's surprisingly robust. What could have been a simple throwaway feature to act as a collaboration project between the two games has become one of the most robust Gold Saucer updates we've seen in Final Fantasy 14 for some time, and is offering more casual players a look into some raid-style mechanics, and all of us a surprisingly good time.
