Final Fantasy 14 will gradually bring back cosmetic rewards from The Feast PVP game mode, which were removed during End walker expansion in favor of Crystalline Conflict. Although the party is gone, Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki Yoshida said that Square Enix is bringing back some unattainable prizes in response to player feedback.
The Feast was a team-based arena PVP game mode available during Skyward, Stormbloodand Shadowbringer expansions. Matches were decided by the medals each team earned by defeating other players. While the rewards for The Feast were purely cosmetic, some were limited to the top 100 ranked combatants per data center, making them inaccessible to a majority of Final Fantasy 14 player. The holiday was retired during End walkerwith Crystalline Conflict taking its place as Final Fantasy 14s preferred small-scale PVP battle mode.
Final Fantasy 14 brings back party rewards
During the conclusion of the 89th letter from the producer's live broadcast, Yoshida said (via translation from r/ffxiv Discord) that Final Fantasy 14 will bring back replicas of The Feast's rewards in response to player feedback. Once the party was gone, most of the rewards were unobtainable. However, as the game experienced a player spike during Shadowbringer and endwalker, this meant that there were more active players missing out on The Feast game mode than before. Despite FF14s players count night out under DawnrailYoshida said the party's rewards would be gradually added back over time, though it's unclear how often that will be. Some of The Feast's rewards potentially coming back include the armor set and mounts, as shared on the r/ffxiv subreddit by a Redditor named VanillaSeparate4493.
Final Fantasy 14s 7.4 update will also bring a big change to the glamor system, as Square Enix will loosen some restrictions on the types of armor players can wear on any given job. When Patch 7.4 arrives on December 16, Final Fantasy 14 players can mix and match styles previously thought impossible. For example, a Dark Knight can glamorize his armor to look like those used by Jobs, such as White Mage and Pictomancer. However, weapon-based restrictions will remain due to animation limitations.
Currently some are off Final Fantasy 14Previous PVP series rewards are made available for purchase in The Wolves' Den, requiring players to spend Wolf Marks or Trophy Crystals obtained from PVP modes. Given that most of The Feast's previous armor sets include plate helmets, it is unclear if any of them will be changed to fit the Viera and Hrothgar characters after changes made in Final Fantasy 14s 7.3 update.
