Woah There, Warrior of Light! Free Face-Lift Ends Soon in Final Fantasy XIV
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Final Fantasy XIV players are running out of time to claim a free Fantasia to tweak their character's appearance after the graphical update, and missing out would be a proper bummer. So, get yourself to Old Gridania and have a chat with a Moogle before August 5th!
Right, listen up, adventurers! Word on the street (specifically, Game Rant) is that your chance to snag a free Fantasia in Final Fantasy XIV is about to vanish faster than a chocobo in a stampede. And trust me, you don't want to miss this.
See, with the Dawntrail expansion, our beloved Warriors of Light got a bit of a graphical glow-up. Sounds great, right? Well, sometimes progress has a funny way of changing things... maybe your cheekbones are sharper, or your eyes are a slightly different shade of 'stare into your soul'. The point is, some folks weren't thrilled with the unexpected changes.
Enter the Fantasia: basically a magical do-over potion that lets you tweak your character's appearance to your heart's content – race, gender, the works! Square Enix, in a moment of generosity (or perhaps a touch of guilt), offered one up for free. But here's the catch: this offer is expiring quicker than you can say "Kupo!"
According to Game Rant, you've got until August 4th to claim your free Fantasia. Patch 7.3, The Promise of Tomorrow, is dropping on August 5th, and with it goes the freebie. Major patches usually bring a 24-hour maintenance period, so don't leave it until the last minute, yeah? Imagine the horror: missing out on your chance to perfect your digital self because you were busy raiding. Tragic.
So, how do you snag this shimmering prize? It's easier than crafting a high-quality potion. Head to Old Gridania and track down the Wandering Moogle NPC near Apkallu Falls (coordinates X:10.7, Y:6.4). He's hanging out near the achievement reward NPC Jonathas. Aetheryte it to Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre or the Lancer's Guild; it's about the same distance from both. Chat with the Moogle, and *poof*, a free Fantasia is yours!
Now, some of you clever clogs might be thinking, "I'll just wait for the next free Fantasia!" Well, Square Enix hasn't said anything about another one. Patch 7.3 is bringing hood adjustments and more hats for Hrothgar and Viera (huzzah!), but no major appearance overhauls are planned. So, this might be your only shot.
Failing that, you'll have to shell out around $10 on the Online Store. Keep an eye out for potential sales, though; they often discount store items during the game's anniversary celebration in late August. But why pay when you can get it for free now?
So, there you have it. Head to Old Gridania, talk to a Moogle, and reclaim your destiny... or, at least, your character's perfect eyebrows. Don't dilly-dally, mate; time's a-wastin'!
