Square Enix Reveals FF14 x Monster Hunter Wilds Rewards

The FF14 Monster Hunter Wilds special site shows rewards for the new event. I hope the extreme part still has more secrets to discover.

A new special site has been created for Final Fantasy 14. This site is about the new crossover event with Monster Hunter Wilds. The event will arrive in early October. Players of both games have wanted this collaboration for many years. The earlier crossover during the Stormblood expansion was very successful. That event featured Monster Hunter World. Now a new one is coming. In this event the great Guardian Arkveld will come to Final Fantasy 14. At the same time Monster Hunter Wilds will receive the mighty Omega Planetes. Square Enix has also shared details about rewards. Players will be able to obtain new gear. Players will also see new mounts. Players can also collect new minions. There are also housing items that match the style of Monster Hunter. Square Enix has also hinted that there may be more rewards that have not yet been revealed.

The story of Dawntrail is finished. Many Final Fantasy 14 players are now waiting for the next journey. The next big expansion will be 8.0. That will be the next center stage for the MMORPG. Before that happens there will be more interludes. One interlude is the Beastmaster limited job. Another is the new deep dungeon named Pilgrims Traverse. This dungeon changes the way the game handles difficulty. The crossover with Monster Hunter Wilds will arrive at the same time as these updates. Many players are already excited to fight Arkveld.

The crossover quest begins in a simple way. A mysterious mark bill arrives in the hands of the player. The mark leads the player on a hunt for prey from another world. The player is joined by a Felyne companion. The player also rides a Seikret steed. Together they discover the target. The target is the terrifying Guardian Arkveld. This monster is feared by hunters. To prepare for battle the player eats grilled meat. The player also carries mega potions. The hunt for the White Wraith begins.

The battle has a self healing mechanic. This is similar to the Great Hunt fights from Stormblood. Director Naoki Yoshida has explained that players must watch the movements of Arkveld carefully. Players must react to its actions rather than only looking at its cast bar. The base version of the fight is called The Windward Wilds. This version has a minimum item level of 725. That is the same as the story trial in patch 7.3 and the San dOria alliance raid. The extreme version requires item level 740. That is the same as the extreme trial in patch 7.3.

Rewards are an important part of this crossover. Players can obtain both versions of the Hope armor set. This set is the starting gear in Monster Hunter Wilds. Many players like this design. It fits well into the world of Final Fantasy 14. It does not need as much adjustment as the older Rathalos set. Many players hope that the gear will not be restricted by gender. The old restriction from Stormblood was removed. Monster Hunter Wilds also has no such restriction.

Weapons are also part of the rewards. The weapon designs are based on Guardian Arkveld. Square Enix has shown several of them. These include the Dual Blades. These include the Greatsword. These include the Gunlance. These include the Hammer. The developers must adjust these weapons to fit the Final Fantasy 14 job system. The preview images suggest that Dual Blades will be used by Ninja. Greatsword will be used by Samurai. Gunlance will be used by Dragoon. Hammer will be used by Black Mage. These may only be showcase poses. The final jobs may be different. Some players wonder what Dark Knight and Warrior will receive. Samurai may also use a Longsword instead. Nothing is confirmed. The designs look great and many players plan to collect them.

Mounts are also part of the crossover. The Seikret mount is confirmed. Some players are disappointed that it is a unique mount rather than Chocobo barding. This means it cannot be brought into battle like a Chocobo. However this is also true in Monster Hunter. Along with the mount there are minions. One minion is a baby Seikret. Another minion is a floating Vigorwasp. The Vigorwasp carries a large healing orb. These minions add fun and style to the game.

Housing items are also shown. These are inspired by Monster Hunter Wilds. There are pop up camps. There is a covered storage box. There is a Palico themed training dummy. There is a fold out seat. There is a barbecue set with a rack of roasting meat. These decorations bring the Monster Hunter feel into Final Fantasy 14 homes. These items are just the beginning. Square Enix has said there will be more updates. Players can expect more rewards and features as time goes on.

There are still mysteries. Square Enix has stated that the site will continue to update with information. The description of the extreme White Wraith trial mentions exclusive rewards. In Stormblood the Rathalos mount and the Poogie minion were locked behind the extreme trial. The armor at that time was only an augmented version of the base Rathalos set. Many players now wonder what the extreme rewards will be in The Beast. Some expect Guardian Arkveld armor. Others expect a Guardian Arkveld mount. The mount is not yet listed but it would make sense as an extreme reward.

The crossover event is called The Windward Wilds. It will be available in early October. To take part players must be active subscribers. They must complete the 7.0 Dawntrail main scenario quest. Their character must be level 100. Players who are not ready do not need to worry. The event will be permanent. They can return later once they meet the requirements.

The crossover may also encourage players to try Monster Hunter Wilds. That game has high system requirements. It is demanding on hardware. Players should check requirements before playing. For those who want more action games there are many choices. Final Fantasy 14 and Monster Hunter Wilds are just part of a large selection in 2025.

The crossover shows the strength of both franchises. Final Fantasy 14 has grown into one of the largest MMORPGs in the world. Monster Hunter has become one of the biggest action RPG series. Bringing them together creates excitement for both communities. Many players have waited years for this new event. The rewards are valuable. The fights are challenging. The collaboration will give players hours of fun.

The design of the event respects both games. Final Fantasy 14 gains unique gear that fits its style. Monster Hunter Wilds gains crossover recognition. The balance between both worlds is important. Square Enix has shown it understands how to make crossovers work. Players will experience familiar mechanics from Monster Hunter while still enjoying the Final Fantasy 14 setting. This blend of styles is what makes the collaboration unique.

The Guardian Arkveld fight will test skill. Players must learn patterns. They must react to movement. They must bring the right gear. They must coordinate with allies. Healing items and preparation are important. Just like in Monster Hunter teamwork and awareness are needed. The fight will be memorable.

The future of Final Fantasy 14 is bright. Dawntrail ended one story. 8.0 will begin another. Between expansions there are events like this crossover. These events keep players engaged. They offer rewards. They bring communities together. The Monster Hunter crossover is not just content. It is a celebration of two games.

Players should prepare. They should level their characters. They should complete Dawntrail. They should gather gear. They should check the special site often. New updates will arrive. New rewards may appear. The hunt for Guardian Arkveld will be one of the highlights of October.
