FFXIV Hatching-tide 2022 tributes an absurd community moment

The FFXIV Hatching-tide 2022 event has been confirmed. Final Fantasy XIV's Easter event will return this year, with a new reward paying tribute to one of the most absurd moments in the history of the MMORPG's community. Yes, folks. You'll soon be able to 'eat egg' forever.

Hatching-tide 2022 begins on Wednesday, April 13 at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST, just after the FFXIV 6.1 release date, and will conclude on April 27. For that duration, you'll be able to pick up the event quest from the egg-headed Jihli Aliapoh in Old Gridania (X:10.2, Y:9.4), and earn rewards like a hatching bunny minion, some eggy furniture items, and the new eat egg emote.

You might recall an event with former Game Grump Ross O'Donovan last year, in which he pledged to eat over 100,000 eggs in Final Fantasy XIV, over the course of multiple full days of streaming. Why? None can say. "I don't know if I even slightly impacted the decision to have this as an emote," O'Donovan says today on Twitter. "But you better believe I'm getting it."

Hatching-tide Returns on April 13!

Spring into action this Hatching-tide to deliver the citizens of Gridania an egg-ceptional extravaganza! Only an adventurer such as yourself can help make all of Jihli Aliapoh's hippiest, happiest dreams come true─although you may have to ruffle a few feathers along the way.

Event Duration

From Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) / 8:00 (GMT) / 18:00 (AEST)

to Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT) / 14:59 (GMT) / Thursday, 28 April at 0:59 (AEST)
