Below, we’ll outline the FFXIV 2024 calendar’s confirmed and tentative event schedule — along with some events that may have wrapped up for the year. Additionally, you can check out the MMO’s usual calendar too, along with a little explainer on each of the year’s festivities.

The FFXIV 2024 event calendar

It’s hard to give an exact date for every event, as the timing changes a little every year, and there’s no guessing when irregular events (such as The Maiden’s Rhapsody) may return. That being said, there are a few that (usually) loop around every year.

Recurring FFXIV seasonal events

While some years haven’t always followed this pattern, FFXIV mostly sticks to the same schedule of seasonal staples while throwing a few new festivities in here and there. The table below outlines the usual schedule from year to year, but if you want a peek at timely announcements on newcomers, maybe pencil in time to watch the next FFXIV Live Letter stream.

FFXIV events in 2024, what to expect

While seasonal affairs contain some degree of overlap, their themes, occurrences, and occasional unique mechanisms may mean some special attention or prioritization. The list below breaks down every FFXIV seasonal event, along with the types of rewards the festivals offer, and even a few handy links to our other, more specific breakdowns.

Breaking Brick Mountains (Dragon Quest collaboration)

This Dragon Quest tribute doesn’t come along often, but it’s been popping in and out of the FFXIV event rotation since the game’s earliest 2.x days. The Breaking Brick Mountains event rewards some time-limited goodies like the Wind-up Brickman minion, King Slime Crown, and Thug’s Mug.

Little Ladies’ Day and the Hatching-tide

This year, Square Enix revealed it would combine two events into one by celebrating Little Ladies’ Day and the Hatching-tide through one questline. While that may seem like a bummer, it doesn’t change much in the way of seasonal FFXIV activities. This time, you’ll get the adorable pink Peatie mount, and the MMO is supplementing the unusually crammed event schedule with Moogle Tomestone activities, and by recirculating old collaborations, like the FFXV crossover.

A Nocturne for Heroes, the FF14 x FF15 crossover

After visiting Eorzea in 2019 and 2021, Noctis returns to the realm in February 2024 for another FFXIV tie-in. A Nocturne for Heroes is one of several Square Enix RPGs that get the MMO treatment thanks to its online sibling, and this questline is a little more involved than the usual seasonal fanfare.

Even if for no other reason, theFFXV collab is popular for its Regalia Type-G mount. You know the one; it’s the four-seater convertible that looks a bit like something out of Gran Turismo and a little out of place cruising around The Azim Steppe.

Valentione’s Day

Love is in the Eorzean air once a year — though perhaps more if you’re standing around in Limsa. Anyway, this year’s Valentine’s Day event doesn’t deviate from the norm, awarding players with more 2024 exclusive event items in February, including the Love Heart emote and Heart Chair furnishing. If you miss out, those things will inevitably join the Cash Shop in 2025.

The Maiden’s Rhapsody, the FF14 x FF11 crossover

The Maiden’s Rhapsody welcomes the Final Fantasy XI event back to Eorzea again as it prepares for Dawntrail later this year. While it’s an older questline, newer players can now indulge in a little crossover lore, plus score the fancy Amatsu glamour only available from this event.

Heavensturn

Heavensturn was the first seasonal event in FFXIV this year, running from December 31, 2023 to January 2024. This iteration of the event offered the Ryunosuke minion. To read more about the last Endwalker-era celebration, check out our guide on Heavensturn 2024.

Yo-kai Watch: Gather One, Gather All

The Yo-kai Watch collaboration for FFXIV is finally live, with the crossover event returning April 24, 2004, and running until the next expansion, Dawntrail, launches in late June.

For those who have missed the event during its previous appearances, the Yo-kai Watch crossover event gives players the opportunity to take part in FATEs while equipped with a Yo-kai watch to earn medals, which can then be exchanged for mounts, minions, and even weapons. The Endwalker version also added a fancy new, MGP-exclusive framer’s kit.

With Yo-kai Watch celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and a new game being released in the next few months, only time will tell when this event is likely to return to FFXIV for yet another round. Perhaps next time, we’ll see weapon additions for the Version 6.0 jobs, like Reaper and Sage.

The Path to Infernal, the FF14 x FF16 crossover

Finally, the Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XVI collab gets its official launch date, beginning on April 2, 2024. Yoshi-P confirmed the news at this year’s PAX East, and if it’s anything like those other FF-related collabs, you should hop on this quick, just so you don’t wait years for its return. The FFXVI crossover event will see players working with Clive to defeat Eikons. Rewards for this event include:

  • Torgal mount
  • Torgal minion
  • Clive’s Attire (Metian Attire)
