Final Fantasy 14 and Monster Hunter Wilds Collab Returns With New Hunts and Mounts
Look who’s decided to team up again! Monster Hunter Wilds and Final Fantasy 14 just announced they’re doing another crossover, because apparently riding giant yellow birds wasn’t exclusive enough for either franchise. Honestly, at this point, why not just merge the two games entirely?
Monster Hunter Wilds Gets Some Final Fantasy Magic
Here’s what’s got everyone buzzing: Monster Hunter Wilds players can finally ditch their usual seikret companion for the iconic chocobo. Because nothing says “I’m ready to hunt massive monsters” quite like hopping on a feathered friend that looks like it escaped from a Saturday morning cartoon!
But wait, there’s more! (Yes, I went there.) Players will also get to face off against Omega as a huntable monster. Remember Omega? That mechanical nightmare that’s been terrorizing Final Fantasy players for decades? Yeah, now it’s coming for your hunter, too. This content drops in late September, so mark your calendars!
Final Fantasy 14 Players Get Their Monster Hunting Fix
Not to be outdone, Final Fantasy 14 is throwing its own crossover content into the mix. Players can mount up on a seikret (because why should Monster Hunter have all the cool rides?) and prepare for battle against the Guardian Arkveld. This slice of monster-hunting goodness arrives in early October.
Why This Crossover Actually Makes Sense
Look, before anyone starts rolling their eyes about “another unnecessary crossover,” let’s be real here. Both games literally let you ride oversized yellow chickens as your primary mode of transportation. At this point, NOT doing a crossover would be the weird choice!
This isn’t even their first rodeo together. Remember when Monster Hunter World invaded Final Fantasy 14 a few years back? That collaboration brought exclusive hunts and armor that had players grinding for months. Lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place, but apparently, chocobos and seikrets do!
