Dev Blog: Hope is on the Rise!

by Xenor

Greetings everyone,

This is Minaryne from the Community team.

I am excited to be the latest adventurer to join the ranks of the North American Community team! I have been a Warrior of Light since we had Dreams of Ice in A Realm Reborn.

I hope you are all enjoying your time keeping the beaches safe and having fun as one of the Phoenix Risers during this year’s Moonfire Faire seasonal event!

Don’t miss this opportunity to obtain that amazing looking hero suit, taking screenshots with the summer festivities in the background, or completing the Eorzean Nimble Warrior course! The Moonfire Faire event comes to an end on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT), so don’t miss out.

But with the Moonfire Faire ending, we have the Rising seasonal event starting the very next day.

It has been a decade since A Realm Reborn! We’ve prepared a special celebration to show our gratitude to all our Warriors of Light once again, so let us all reflect on the journey we’ve taken thus far and enjoy the time together!

Speak with Kipih Jakkya located in Ul’dah – Steps of Nald (X10.1 Y:8.7) to accept the quest.

Event Rewards

  • The Land Reborn Orchestrion Roll
  • Pom from the Heavens Orchestrion Roll

These orchestrion rolls are for the songs that play in a mini-game you can enjoy after completing the seasonal event. You can purchase these orchestrion rolls from the Rising vendor!

â–¼ Furnishing: The Rising Advertisement

This furnishing can also be purchased from the Rising vendor. Why not decorate your place with this amazing piece which was featured during our first anniversary?

â–¼ Mount: Rising Phoenix

You get a mount. And you get a mount. And we all get a mount!

Take a good look at this mount. Notice anything in particular?

If you noticed that no one is riding it, you have quite a keen eye! You become the phoenix! First you became the Phoenix Riser, and now you become the phoenix itself, how cool is that!?

Furthermore, the rising phoenix features a unique action named “A Flame Reborn“!

Maybe this will stir memories of embarking on a pilgrimage to visit the Twelve for some veteran adventurers.

There’s More!
Not only do we have the seasonal quest this year, but you’ll get to read some special messages and play a mini-game after completing the event.

â–¼ Special Messages
You’ll be able to read messages someone wrote to those who survived the Seventh Umbral Calamity, so be sure to give them a read.

â–¼ Mini-game: Kupo Kupo Adventure

Give instructions to a moogle to bounce balls to target and defeat enemies. Here’s what it looks like!

This game is addicting… It’s so fun that it may distract me from my adventures!

These special messages and the mini-game will be available from NPCs marked with the 10th anniversary icon above their head.

Archon Louisoix
You’ll also be able to accept a new quest related to Louisoix Leveilleur from Nanaji in Ul’dah – Steps of Nald (X:8.9 Y:9.2).

* To accept this quest, you will need to have a level 50 Disciple of War or Magic and have completed the main scenario quest “The Ultimate Weapon.”

This quest is a great refresher for those already familiar with Louisoix, and also great for adventurers who may be unfamiliar with him, so be sure to check it out!

* The quest related to Louisoix will be available even after the Rising event concludes.

This year we have a lot in store for the Rising event, so I hope you all look forward to it!

Until next time!
