Just when it needed it, Final Fantasy XIV is getting a huge crossover with one of the biggest (and most divisive) games of the year. After its announcement at Gamescom Opening Night Live this summer, a crossover between Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter Wilds is now implemented in both games, bringing new fights and rewards to each. While Monster Hunter Wilds added its half of the collaboration on September 29, the new additions to Final Fantasy XIV are brand-new, coming with the game’s Patch 7.35 update on October 7.
The biggest addition for Patch 7.35 is the arrival of Arkveld. After appearing in Monster Hunter Wilds, this massive winged beast is now the target of a new Trial in Final Fantasy XIV. Taking down the new monster will earn you a weapon from a set of new Monster Hunter-inspired armaments, as well as a new mount, minions, and housing decorations.
