Greetings and salutations! Okieeomi here from the Community Team, bringing you the latest summer scoop on this year's seasonal festivities!
As the temperature steadily rises to feverish levels and the sea breeze aroma lofts through the air, the Moonfire Faire is upon us once more!
Event Period
August 12, 2020 at 1:00 a.m. through August 26, 2020 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about summer?
Maybe you sit and ponder for a moment and find yourself recollecting the norm- beaches, bikinis, bombards or...
SHARKS!
Do you like sharks?
Baby sharks, mommy sharks, daddy sharks, even the sharks that would dare surf on the winds of Garuda! I absolutely adore them all!
To all the shark enthusiasts out there, or those who are looking for an action-packed summer, please look forward to this year's Moonfire Faire!
Next, let's go over how to participate in this year's Moonfire Faire.
How to Participate
The event begins in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X:11.5, Y:13.8) where you can speak with Mayaru Moyaru to accept the quest.
Quest Details - A Fish Too Far
Mayaru Moyaru is grinning from ear to ear, and yet something in his eyes suggests this year's celebration is not all smiles and sunshine. Whatever dangers lurk beneath the surface of this year's faire, event chaperones are not like to turn away a helping hand.
Find out for yourself when the event begins!
Event Rewards
Equipment: Summer's Flame Outfit
Complete your summer fashion this season with this year's resort-themed pareo!
The hand-weaved hat design and the elegant floral pattern on the pareo are appealing enough to attract the eye of any fashion collector.
Of course, this attire is dyeable! Dyeing this attire changes the appearance quite a bit, so be sure to try out a variety of colors to your hearts content!
Emote: Flame Dance
A traditional Lalafellin dance hailing from the sunny south sea isles.
Move and groove your hips to the rhythm of the ocean with this brand-new dance. ♪
Outdoor Furnishing: Water Bomb Stand
Deck out your front lawn with the new water balloon vendor's stall! This furnishing, which appears around the three city-states each Moonfire Faire, will finally be available as a reward item! It's considerably large once placed so be on the lookout while visiting the housing wards!
Now, combine it together with some of your favorite existing outdoor furnishings to enjoy a unique summer vibe in your yard!
We simply can't wait to share this Moonfire Faire with you all! What are you most looking forward to this year?
Personally, aside from the sharks, I can't wait to watch the spectacle of fireworks that light the night sky each and every year.
Until next time,
Okieeomi

Greetings everyone, Zhexos here.
Although THE PRIMALS Live in Tokyo - Bringers of Shadow concert series was cancelled, we're pleased to announce that their latest release, Out of the Shadows, is now available!
THE PRIMALS - Out of the Shadows
Have you purchased your copy yet?
Out of the Shadows is the first CD release since THE PRIMALS debut album in 2018! Some songs are being released for the first time, so we highly recommend you give them a listen!
You can also purchase the digital version for download!
The CD is available for purchase only from the Square Enix Store.
The digital version is available from Amazon Music, Google Play Music, and iTunes.
Today, I'd like to go over the album and the four amazing songs it features!
The first song is Insatiable, which has been arranged for the 4th anniversary of DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY. As of Patch 5.2, you can also enjoy this song during the mid-boss battles in each of the Shadowbringers dungeons!
The second song is Ultima, which plays during the first half of the battle against the Ruby Weapon! The heavy echo of the guitar and chorus are outstanding in this arranged version! Apparently, they mentioned that they struggled to record this song, and by the time they left the studio it was already morning!
The third song, Blinding Indigo, is heard when battling against Leviathan in Eden's Gate: Inundation. Just as Leviathan's appearance was changed by the Warrior of Light's imagination and memory (?), the original Leviathan's theme was transformed by the imagination and talent of Soken and THE PRIMALS!
The final song is Titania's theme, What Angel Wakes Me. Though the original song features an adorable triple-meter beat, this rocking remix now has a quadruple-meter! ♬FALALALALALA♬!
I can't imagine how they came up with this remix... you'll just have to listen to it yourself!
Whether you pick them up on CD or as a digital download, we hope that you'll enjoy these new songs from THE PRIMALS!

Greetings, everyone!
The warm and sunny season of spring is slowly rolling in across the Northern Hemisphere, and with it comes the return of our spring-themed seasonal event, Hatching-tide! The event that sprouted from the dream of a young girl is about to start once more!
Seasonal Event Schedule
This time, the Hatching-tide seasonal event is separated into two chapters.
Chapter 1
From Monday, March 30, 2020 at 1:00 a.m. to Sunday, April 5, 2020 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
Chapter 2
From Sunday, April 5, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. to Monday, April 13, 2020 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
How to Participate
Start by cracking down on this year's egg-citing quest, "the Eggth Umbral Calamity," by speaking to the revelrous rabbit in Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
In Chapter 1, adventurers are asked to hop on the case of a chicken on the loose.
We hope all of you will scramble and capture the Hatching-tide's most wanted--the hard-boiled chicken!
In Chapter 2, with the preparations complete, the seasonal event is ready. I wonder what's going to hoppen this time around.
"What if I missed chapter 1?" you may be thinking. Even if chapter 2 is underway, you'll still be able to capture the chicken from chapter 1, so worry not!
Quest Reward
Adventurers will be rewarded with the rabbit head and suit attire (both of which are dyeable).
Look at those fluffy hands and feet!
For indoor furnishings, we have the stuffed rabbit (also dyeable) and the Hatching-tide advertisement featuring artwork from the 2018 event.
That's not all! Once chapter 2 commences, you'll be able to purchase the dapper rabbit suit, which is a rabbit suit adorned with a ribbon! And yes, this is dyeable too!
We have a few more days until the event begins, and I hope everyone is egg-cited as much as we are!
That's all, yolks!

Hi everyone,
Can you believe it's already been a month since Patch 5.2 launched? Time really does fly!
Between the new Eden raid, ocean fishing, and Ishgardian Restoration there's much to experience! Throughout your journeys, do you ever stop and take a moment to get lost in the music?
The latest installment of the Eden raid series introduced a lot of surprises and "familiar" foes! Primals like Ramuh and Shiva were not the only things re-imagined throughout the raid series though, as players were pleasantly surprised to hear re-imagined tracks by Soken himself! There's one song in particular that gives me chills every time I hear it. I'm sure you know which I'm referring to!
Without further ado, let's take a look at the lyrics for Return to Oblivion!
=======================
Return to Oblivion
Wanting, I lie
Too weary to die
Too lost to the ice for saving
My sins claim me, untame me
Eyes wet with tears
Her song in my ears
Broken, faded, how long have I waited
To open my wings?
Turn the light on
And let her in. Won't you
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
You'll never win 'less you
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
The pain won't end 'till you
Turn the light on
The soul longs for oblivion, oblivion
Falling too far for the fear to embrace me
A voice from the past screaming there is no end (no)
A slave to my fate, ever doomed to repeat this
again and again and again and again (yeah, I'm)
Falling too fast, no it won't overtake me
A voice from the past echoes loud like a drum (oh, yes)
no more goodbyes, though my heart is still aching
Now open my eyes, one more time, Here I come
Reason resigned
Dark seasons' design
Spring's promise of sun is honored
When winter's weighed down on us
Visions in white
Raw fury in flight
Clear as diamond, yet fragile as ice
My heart is racing
Turn the light on
And let her in. Won't you
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
You'll never win 'less you
Turn the light on
Turn the light on
The pain won't end 'till you
Turn the light on
The soul longs for oblivion, oblivion
Falling too far for the fear to embrace me
A voice from the past screaming there is no end (no)
A slave to my fate, ever doomed to repeat this
again and again and again and again (yeah, I'm)
Falling too fast, but the fall will not break me
A voice from the past echoes loud like a drum (oh, yes)
no more goodbyes, I am tired of waiting
Now open my eyes, one last time, Here I come (yeah I come)
=======================
There's so much raw emotion in the words!
This song is also available to purchase on the recently released Shadowbringers EP!
Next time you journey into Refulgence, you can sing along and get even more hyped to prevail!

Greetings, everyone!
Bayohne here, back at the office after four days of PAX East! We had a blast seeing the community and interacting with everyone that came by!
Don't worry if you weren't able to visit, because today we'll be exploring the various festivities we had on tap.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Booth
This year we had our own booth to contain all the excitement we had to showcase! The booth was packed with multiple things for attendees to do - grab some exciting giveaway items, challenge the Ruby Weapon Battle challenge, or try the New Player Experience, or participate in a photo opportunity featuring Shadowbringers weapon props (and our special guest Namazu)!
Let's take a closer look at each of the activities.
Fun Giveaways for Attendees
This year, we gave away some warm FFXIV-themed scarves as it was still quite cold in Boston during the event! These went quickly each time they appeared during the show, but it was great to see so many people keeping warm! In addition, we gave away double-sided posters featuring the job artwork by Mogi. We also had the FFXIV-themed lanyards available for all PAX East attendees!
Photo Op with Shadowbringers Props (and Namazu!)
This year we had an expansive backdrop featuring the Crystarium aetheryte where attendees could snap a photo with our three Shadowbringers weapon props: the Shadowbringer great sword, the Lion Heart gunblade, and Y'sthola's staff, Nightseeker.
But that's not all! Throughout the show, a friendly Namazu would come by and visit the photo area as well (including sporting several different outfit changes).
The Ruby Weapon Battle Challenge
The ever-popular battle challenge series continued at PAX East with the Ruby Weapon making its terrifying debut! Attendees were quick to line up and challenge the fearsome foe. Veterans and newcomers alike (with some strong guidance from staff) were able to defeat the fearsome foe and earn their rewards!
New Player Experience
The new player experience area was back, expanded and more packed than ever! Potential new players could queue up, get a brief demo on the jobs and combat system and test their strength against Ifrit in the main scenario story mode. Winners would then receive a free copy of the FFXIV Starter Edition for PC! We hope to see you all in Eorzea soon!
The Art of FFXIV Live Stream
Originally planned as a panel for PAX East, after we made some adjustments to our plans, we instead reconfigured the content as a live stream from the SE Japan audiences so that fans could still experience the content. Naoki Yoshida and Yusuke Mogi were joined by members of the localization team and held a nearly three-hour long stream showcasing the work that goes into creating the artwork of FFXIV by lead character concept artist Yusuke Mogi!
If you couldn't watch it live, you should check out the archived video on our Twitch channel!
Amazing Cosplay
Each event we attend, we're always floored by the amazing effort that players put into their cosplay outfits. Here are a few of the costumes we were able to grab pictures of during the show!
That wraps up this brief look behind the scenes at PAX East 2020! We hope to see you all again soon!
